Large Maple Tree Removal in Ridgely, MD

At times, trees may start to drop their branches, leading to safety hazards for homeowners and their properties. This was the case in Ridgely, MD, where a client reached out to us for the removal of a large Maple tree in their backyard. The tree was deemed a risk due to its rotting wood and included bark, and it had recently shed large limbs, one of which landed close to their inground pool during the summer months. The homeowner initially chose to delay the removal until another large limb fell, after which they decided it was necessary to proceed with the removal. A recent winter storm, which brought 8 inches of snow to our area, caused a temporary delay in the project. Our commitment is to complete jobs efficiently while ensuring the safety and care of our client's property.

Trees or branches exhibiting bark inclusion require prompt intervention. It is essential to seek the expertise of a tree specialist to assess the situation before any further damage occurs or the tree succumbs. We have a certified arborist on staff trained in Tree Risk Assessment through the ISA (International Society of Arboriculture).

Included bark, often referred to as "ingrown bark," primarily impacts multi-stemmed trees or those with co-dominant leader branches.

The bark at the point of division typically grows inward, forming a soft mass. This can lead to competition among stems, branches, or limbs, which may result in splitting or death. Effective solutions for trees with bark inclusion include cabling, bracing, pruning, and, when necessary, removal of the tree.
