Sewer repairs will block one Toledo street today and close lanes on another, the city transportation division announced.

Creekside Avenue will be closed just north of Sylvania Avenue, with no detour route posted, while Phillips Avenue will have lane restrictions between Haverhill Drive and Sylvania, officials said. Both projects are scheduled for completion by days end.

Also today, a Point Place tree-removal project postponed from last weekend will close 108th Street between 290th and 294th streets. That work also is scheduled to take one day to finish.

Streets blocked by sewer repairs, tree removal - Toledo Blade

Residents upset about the trees being cut down around the Barton Creek Country Club dont have much recourse at the course: the club is within Austins extraterritorial jurisdiction, and neither the city nor, with few exceptions, Travis County regulate what property owners can do with their trees there.

WatersMark neighborhood resident Debbie Courtney, who lives on the edge of the greens off of the golf course, said she was devastated to see a large oak near her home cut down.

They cut down a 100-year-old oak behind my house, Courtney said. They said it could cause problems with the greens, with fungus and stuff and the roots. Its all about making the turf better I felt a real kinship with this tree, and it wasnt discussed. I dont see the problem for the course; it wasnt that close to the greens. But theyre just whopping them all down.

Courtney is also on the architectural review committee of her neighborhood association, which is very strict about what residents can do with trees on their own properties, Courtney said. But they have no jurisdiction over Barton Creek Country Club.

I think its wrong, resident Sue Lowe said. I do understand having to keep the greens in shape, but they should have warned us. And I feel strongly that if they remove trees, they should replace them.

The club emailed its members a statement from its managing director David Jurcak, explaining that the taking down of the trees was necessary for the wellbeing of the course.

Over time, many of the trees on our golf courses began to impact the intended playability and proper conditions for turf growth, the statement reads. After much consultation and consideration, it was determined that in order to improve the playing experience some trees must be removed. It is simply impossible to grow grass under large canopies of shade.

Residents bemoan tree removal - Austin American-Statesman

Home > Pruning shade trees

Pruning methods that promote a sound tree structure help trees resist failure, provide clearance, and improve aesthetics, while promoting long life. From training young trees to managing mature ones, structural pruning to guide and manage tree architecture should be the primary goal each time a tree is pruned. A well-structured tree is aesthetically pleasing, preserves the crown as it grows larger, and is long-lived. Poor tree architecture can be costly, leading to failure and early tree removal. When improperly performed, pruning can harm the tree's health, stability, and appearance and make matters worse. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Why prune? | Cause no harm | Objectives | Approach | Design a plan | At planting | Time of year | Pruning cuts | Structural pruning | Thinning | Reducing | Raising | Cleaning | Restoration | Pruning palms | Mature trees | Utility pruning | Practice pruning | Photos

Trimming trees at the right time

You may have heard the old saying about tree trimming that goes something like this "Trim trees anytime your saw is sharp." This may be true when it comes to removing broken and dead branches, but in many cases timing is very important.

Most flowering trees set their blossoms the year before they bloom. Therefore, they won't bloom if these flower buds are trimmed off the tree. The best rule is to always trim flowering trees within 3 weeks of when they finish blooming. That should prevent you from inadvertently removing buds containing next year's flower show.

Removing this Weeping Cherry branch in the Fall of the year removes the branch AND the 'flower show' for next Spring

Severely cutting back major branches causes weak growth in the form of multiple branches that grow straight up, ruining the natural structure of the tree. These fast growing shoots are known as 'water sprouts.' Similar shoots, called 'suckers,' grow from the roots of some trees, especially Crabapples

This Silver Maple was 'Topped' a few years ago

Sydney Tree Removals offered me a quote I could not refuse for palm removal. I was surprised at how affordable their palm pruning service was. They were by far the cheapest arborist I could find in the Tree Services (the service was pretty good too!). Barry

Definitely the best stump removal service I found in the Tree Services. Thank you Geoff and your crew. - Jane

Posted By: Terry Booz on June 12, 2010 in - Comments: Comments Off on Home | Grizzly's Tree Service

Owned & operated by Terry L. Booz, Grizzlys Tree Service is located in the heart of Montgomery County Pa, Grizzlys Tree Service hasbeen serving the Montgomery & Bucks County areas for more than 30 years. Born and raised in Lansdale, PA, Terry L. Booz, is known by most people around here as Grizz. He started out by knocking on doors with just his chain saw on weekends and after putting in a full day at Moor Products during the week. As his reputation grew and the quality of his work was known, Grizzlys Tree Service was officially started in 1980. Grizzlys Tree Service specializes in areas inaccessible to buckets and cranes trucks as well as insurance claims due to storm damage. Because of this, you will might find him out with other local tree service companies and landscapers working together to get the job done right The First Time.

Grizzs boots are hard to fill but with any of his climbers you will find in them the same quality work ethics that you have come toexpect from Grizz himself. With the additional help of ground persons and his wife Julie, who helps manage the office, Grizzlys Tree Service staff is ready to provide you with all of your tree service needs. With this kind of experience you can always expect:

Decide what you need: Figure out what type of work you need done trimming service only or do you have dead trees that need to be removed? The most important thing to look for is low hanging or dead limbs that can fall under the weight of severe storms. Low-hanging limbs can provide easy access to your attic for squirrels and other pests.

Dont procrastinate: If you have old trees or low-hanging limbs, dont wait until bad weather hits or youre going to wait a while for service. Taking care of the issue immediately can also save you from further costs in tree service care.

Check qualifications: Make sure the company is equipped to do the job you need done. For instance, if you need a large tree removed, are they experienced in stump grinding and other necessary aspects of the job?

Ask for proof of insurance: Make sure the companys policy adequately covers property damage and injuries that could occur on your property.

Disposal: Find out how the debris will be handled. Will the company remove it or are you responsible for removing it? Do you want the firewood and/or mulch?

Walk through the job: Have the contractor tag or walk through the yard with you so you know exactly what trees need work and what is being removed. Map out how the areas where the contractors will be working and how they will access those areas. Make sure youve cleared those areas of cars and other items to ensure nothing is damaged by falling limbs. Visit us on Google+
