Recently, we at Princeton Tree Care dedicated our time and expertise to conduct a company training session while also providing essential tree care services at Harrison St Park, located in the heart of Princeton, NJ. We felt particularly honored to do this in recognition of Arbor Day, an important celebration that highlights the importance of trees in our communities.
Princeton Tree Care has partnered with Princeton Township and D&R Greenway Land Trust to donate their time and talents in the care and replanting of the trees in Greenway Meadows Park in Princeton, NJ.

When using a chainsaw, every situation is different, and grasping each of these unique situations builds onto your skill level, as would taking a practical chainsaw operator’s course.
We're very blessed to have John Henry on our team who is extremely knowledgeable and experienced when it comes to chainsaw safety.

The Importance of Mulching Skillman, NJ - Our client has three maturing maples on their property. Two of them are thriving and one of the maples has a thinning canopy and many dead branches. After analyzing each of the trees, it was observed that the two thriving maples were along the edge of the property line well past where the grass ends and along the forest line. The thinning maple had a much different environment, with rocks surrounding the it's trunk.
The difference in these two scenarios is that the thriving trees along the forest line have organic material (dirt, leaves, bark) on the ground below the trees. The organic material decomposes and feeds the trees. The trees receive constant nutrients this way. The rocks around the thinning tree do not provide any nutrients for the tree, and it shows. By removing the rocks and installing mulch, the tree will start to receive nutrients as the mulch decomposes. The mulch will also keep the tree roots moist. As a best practice and to help keep your trees in optimal health, remove grass from around tree trunks and install mulch.
