We love old trees. Large trees provide shade, habitat for wildlife, and clean the air we breath. Our company is committed to caring for trees of all sizes across St. Louis, and we care about the health and safety of our client’s trees. That means that each and every time we visit a property our tree care pros evaluate the size, health, soil conditions, and overall condition of all trees, to make the best recommendations for every tree in your landscape.

Taking care of large trees starts when they are first planted. Variety of tree, placement, and surrounding natural environment play a big part in how the tree will grow overtime. Will it grow nicely on its own, or will it need training and bracing to best fit the area? As a tree grows large, big branches may need to be trimmed to help mitigate any potential damage large trees can make as they grow larger and larger. This is especially important to stay on top of when it comes to unpredictable weather and severe storms. High winds, lightning, and big storm systems can take down entire trees! We recommend visually inspecting large trees at least every year to make sure they are healthy and nonthreatening to the surrounding areas.

As a home or business owner, you can take care of your large trees by checking tree bark, leaves, stems, or flowers for discoloration, pests, or signs of tree disease. Catching these potential problems early is important to the overall care of your most prized large trees.

As trees age, they might benefit from a layer of mulch protection, added soils or nutrients, and other added care. There are some great resources online with tree care information. G&G’s tree pros can take care of big tree projects like tree removal, stump grinding, new tree planting, tree trimming, and emergency fallen tree removal (like the photo above).
