• Selective structural pruning <br />• Removal of dead, interfering, split and /or broken limbs <br />• Pre - conditioning the water retention basin built around the tree <br />• Staking or re- staking <br />• Adjusting tree ties <br />• Adjusting trunk protectors <br />• Weed abatement <br />• Tree watering <br />Each tree is inspected to determine specific needs and maintenance activities are then <br />performed accordingly. <br />'I'll J U."I l`Jllli`lr' <br />Palm tree skinning consists of the removal of dead frond bases (only), at the point they make contact with the trunk <br />without damage to the live trunk tissue. <br />Removals will be completed per monthly lists compiled and submitted by the City or on an "as needed" basis after the <br />City has properly marked the tree. With a minimum of 48 hours advanced notice, WCA will inform Underground Service <br />Alert (USA) of the location of work for the purpose of identifying any and all utility lines. The removal process consists <br />of lowering limbs delicately onto the ground to prevent any hardscape damage. Immediately following the removal, the <br />stump will be ground down in accordance with ANSI Z133 Standards. <br />Bald" �;JM ilr' <br />We strongly recommend against any root pruning, however, should you want to proceed, we recommend that it he done <br />no closer than 3 times the diameter of the trunk. Roots will be pruned to a depth of approximately 12 inches by cleanly <br />slicing through the roots, so as not to tear or vibrate the root causing damage to the tree. The excavated area will be <br />backfilled with native soil and debris will be hauled away. <br />We can replace trees that have been removed and plant new trees in accordance <br />with City specifications. Trees will be planted by lists compiled and submitted <br />monthly or on an "as- needed" basis. We are prepared financially and logistically <br />to acquire and purchase selected tree species for tree planting in the City. WCA <br />maintains a nursery with various tree species readily available for planting. We <br />have the capability to send notices via US Mail informing residents of the work <br />that is to be performed if requested by the City. These notices can include a <br />photo of the new tree that is to be planted or the residents may view the species <br />at www.WEAINE.com after the City has properly marked the tree. At a minimum <br />of 48 hours in advance we will inform Underground Service Alert (USA) of the <br />location of work for the purpose of identifying any and all utility lines. Once the <br />City approves the trees to be planted, we will plant in accordance with ISA <br />Standards, ANSI A3OO Standards and City specifications. A well- trained planting <br />team will perform the soil preparation and installation of the tree. <br />5B -181 20 <br />
