28
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 2: I don't think you do. I have to tell you.

29
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 1: We had a conversation a few minutes ago that I

30
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 1: hit an orange ball on the golf course. This is

31
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 1: a tough time, especially when you hit it where I

32
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:24,399
Speaker 1: hit it, which is mostly near trees. Kind of hard

33
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 1: to find that that orange ball sometimes and songboard. I

34
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 1: got a chance to play nine yesterday and just a

35
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: beautiful course and they keep it up really nice. But

36
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: anything off the fairway, it is hard to find any

37
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: ball this time of year.

38
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:40,320
Speaker 4: Any time of year, it's hard to find the ball

39
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 4: that I hit. I'll say that much.

40
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 1: In the water, sand, you know, stuff like that. Hey,

41
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: this time of year, fall and then winter right around

42
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 1: the corner. How busy are you guys at Hoppy Tree Service.

43
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 4: We're busy this time of year. People are kind of

44
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 4: buttoning things up. We're getting ready for the winter season.

45
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 4: We're out doing a lot of inspections of our existing clients.

46
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 4: We have new clients calling in every day. So now's

47
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:11,119
Speaker 4: a great time to go outside and take a look

48
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 4: at the tree.

49
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 3: That makes sense, I mean you'd want to, you know,

50
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 3: before the tree gets a bitch of snow on it

51
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 3: and falls on your roof. Maybe take care of ahead

52
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 3: of time.

53
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 2: Maybe.

54
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's why we've got you in here today for

55
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 1: some of that, and we're going to talk a little

56
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 1: bit about how to protect your trees from any any snow.

57
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,239
Speaker 1: Prior to that, though, let's look back in August, we

58
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: had a huge rainfall and flood in Wile, toasting in

59
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 1: a lot of different areas in the state. What does

60
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:41,519
Speaker 1: something like that, an event like that do to trees

61
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 1: and to people in your business?

62
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, well it definitely got the phone ring in quite

63
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 4: a bit. You know, when you have such a weather

64
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 4: event like that, you know you're bound to have trees fail,

65
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 4: you know, and when trees fail, that gets everyone's attention.

66
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 4: You know, it's amazing how many trees we have around

67
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 4: us and how few actually fail when events happen like that. So,

68
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 4: like a lot of people worry about their trees, but

69
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 4: statistically they're they're very safe. But you want to get

70
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 4: out and inspect those trees. You know, a lot of

71
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 4: the trees that fell they had signs of, you know,

72
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 4: issues going on that could have.

73
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 3: Been signs of because Federal I've seen a slight presentation

74
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,079
Speaker 3: and Fred, does you see what's wrong with this tree? No,

75
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 3: I don't. But eventually, but he'll say, he'll be stuff

76
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 3: like this. The tree's got like a big y to it.

77
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 3: It's like a natural separation or two trees grow together

78
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 3: or something like that. So you can see us right here.

79
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 3: There's some stress. And if you don't put a cable

80
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 3: around her, you don't do this, you don't do that,

81
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 3: it will fail. And I mean he can see that.

82
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: Well he has said, Look he wait the fifteen minutes

83
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 1: we talked prior to the show and we've been on

84
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: the air now for like three minutes and he is

85
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: said twice.

86
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 3: On the air, how they talked about NASCAR.

87
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: Others than NASCAR, Go out and inspect. Go look at

88
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: your trees. Don't just from your your your you know,

89
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: living room, say wow, the colors are are changing and

90
00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: it's just beautiful.

91
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 2: You need to actually inspect the tree.

92
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 3: And if you're a stuccle guy, you can't be rubbing

93
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:05,119
Speaker 3: against your house.

94
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely, you know. Yeah, there's it's that kind of breaks.

95
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 4: It helps break down the things that we look at

96
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 4: when we're inspecting trees. There is the stuff that the

97
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 4: tree needs, and then there's stuff that the client needs.

98
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,160
Speaker 4: So those things aren't always the same, so we have

99
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 4: to look at it from both of those those angles.

100
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,479
Speaker 4: So like bingle what you're referring to, you know, yeah, stucco.

101
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 4: You want airflow, you don't want branches hitting hitting the

102
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 4: the building, and you want to be able to see

103
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 4: the nice work afterwards too. So a big thing that

104
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 4: we do is like clearance from buildings, clearance from sidewalks,

105
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,479
Speaker 4: roof lines. That's a huge part of what we do,

106
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:43,719
Speaker 4: you know, along with you know, stuff that the tree needs,

107
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 4: you know, helping prevent disease, issues with poor air circulation.

108
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 4: So those are yeah, two big main wall.

109
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 1: When we bought that house on eighty eighth Street, I

110
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 1: talked a little bit about that ever green in front

111
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 1: of the house and how we want take it down

112
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: when my son Matthew was probably five six years old,

113
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 1: because it was just it was just a baby when

114
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: we bought the house and it was getting pretty big,

115
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: and he started crying, don't take my friend away. And

116
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 1: we realized when he went out to play football in

117
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 1: front of our house by himself, the tree was the

118
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,719
Speaker 1: wide receiver and he would throw it and the tree

119
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,720
Speaker 1: caught it. Then they'd move forward and if it dropped

120
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 1: on the ground and the tree didn't catch it, and

121
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: he was like, that's my friend, Please don't take And

122
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: it warmed in my heart that this was who we

123
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 1: went out and played catch with. Well, then he went

124
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 1: off to college. We had to get rid of that

125
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: thing because it was so big. But it was interesting

126
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: because not until we started looking at pictures on when

127
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: we first bought the house did realize how much that

128
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 1: tree had grown. I mean, you look at it every

129
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 1: day and you don't realize it until the pictures from

130
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 1: ten years prior and you go, holy coy, you can

131
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 1: barely see our house.

132
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,160
Speaker 3: Well, I do a lot of you know, we got

133
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,480
Speaker 3: lot of water damage, plastered ceilings because of those pine

134
00:05:58,480 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 3: trees right next to the house. Like that they feel

135
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 3: the gutters. Yeah, you'll be a bunch of house and

136
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 3: they just it just clogs it. And people say, well,

137
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 3: we got those leaf cards or whatever. They won't work

138
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 3: with those needles, Like no, those things jamming right up.

139
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you know, and that's uh, it's a good

140
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:16,479
Speaker 4: I love that story, Mike, because like, trees don't stay static.

141
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 4: They grow, you know, and they they change. Like when

142
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 4: that tree was planted, it might have been you know,

143
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 4: one you're for a chew bengo, like a spruce tree

144
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 4: close to the house. It might have been appropriate at

145
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,599
Speaker 4: a younger age, but as it gets older, it can start,

146
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 4: you know, impeding on the foundation, it can start impeeding

147
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 4: on the on the roofline, clogging gutters, changing the grades

148
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,479
Speaker 4: the water's pitching towards the house. So that's just another

149
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 4: reason to have your your trees looked at on a

150
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,039
Speaker 4: regular basis. You know, homeowners have a duty of care

151
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 4: that you know, they're actually obligated to do that to

152
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 4: make sure that there's no undo hazards on their on

153
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 4: their property.

154
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 1: You know, living in the city Milwaukee, that the city

155
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 1: takes care of the trees that are you know, next

156
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:54,799
Speaker 1: to the curb.

157
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, supposedly they did.

158
00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: We were there thirty years and they I think they

159
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 1: ruined the two trees that we had that were actually

160
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: on their property.

161
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:06,359
Speaker 2: Maybe once.

162
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, they have a lot of trees to look at.

163
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 4: You know, they have to, uh, you know prioritize things,

164
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 4: so you know, certain species are higher priorities for them,

165
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 4: certain occupancy rates of certain streets. If you're on a

166
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 4: busy street, that's gonna you know, garner more attention from them.

167
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 4: But over I think a lot of municipalities do a

168
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 4: really a great job with the resources they have and

169
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 4: the staff they had. But homeowners always have a you know,

170
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,239
Speaker 4: a little more want than the city cannalties.

171
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 1: And and and probably more than a need. But what

172
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 1: was what they were really good at is when a

173
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: windstorm or something that comes through and and you'd have

174
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: branches in the middle of street, and they were great.

175
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 2: They were right there.

176
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 1: Chopping it and getting it out of the way, and

177
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 1: and I give them a lot of credit for for that. Hey,

178
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: this time of year and and before we get into winter,

179
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 1: and I think check been two, we're going to talk

180
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: a lot about what people need to understand protect their

181
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 1: trees from heavy snow damage because that's coming. Yeah, but

182
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,119
Speaker 1: this time year, in the fall, what are you guys

183
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: most busy is with you know.

184
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 4: We are doing a lot of pruning still, you know,

185
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 4: eliminating branches that you know could potentially fail. We're taking

186
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 4: care of trees health. Also, we're doing a lot of

187
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 4: soil treatments, making sure trees have the right nutrients that

188
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 4: they need in the ground to thrive, getting them ready.

189
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 4: You know, most trees are in an urban setting, you

190
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 4: have lawn around them, you know, and think about the

191
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 4: height of a tree. It's very easy for those roots

192
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 4: to go out at least equally to the height of

193
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:43,319
Speaker 4: the tree out horizontally. So think about that. All those

194
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 4: roots need nutrients, and you have lawn over those roots.

195
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 4: You know, you're not getting the nutrients cycling that you

196
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 4: do in a forest setting.

197
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 3: You know, there was Yeah, we had a birch tree

198
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 3: that was not doing well. They came over. This thing

199
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 3: was like an eight foot needle. It seemed like a

200
00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 3: real needle that goes down by the roots. I gave

201
00:08:59,920 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 3: us stuff and I think I think it's going. It's

202
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 3: a white birch, which is kind of hard. You can

203
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 3: go tree.

204
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 4: That's one of Deb's favorites. So I'm on the on

205
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 4: the speed dial.

206
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 2: You're on the good list. Yeah, that's good.

207
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've been able to stay on that good list.

208
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 4: So you want to stay on something, right, you want

209
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,199
Speaker 4: to stay there. She's she's the best.

210
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 3: And then when ever cuts a tree doesn't have to

211
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 3: haul it away. I keep all the wood up from fires.

212
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,839
Speaker 1: Oh that that has to be a big part too.

213
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: I'm sure that there are a number of trees that

214
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 1: you cut down. Do you guys cut those into something

215
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 1: people can use in the fire.

216
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,680
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, some people want firewood. But Mike, you know,

217
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,439
Speaker 4: we have the urban Wood Lab. We do uh try

218
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 4: and find the highest and best use for these this

219
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 4: wood is as much as we can. You know, we

220
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 4: sell our wood at several different habitat for humanity restores

221
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 4: and we do it by appointment out of our grafting location.

222
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 4: So that's that's always fun seeing that that tree transform Intoto.

223
00:09:57,880 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 3: Something that's really crazy.

224
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 4: Every piece is one off. Everything is. It's beautiful like

225
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 4: urban wood compared to stuff you get at a big

226
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 4: box store. I mean, it just has so much more character.

227
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,319
Speaker 3: It's really pretty looking grains and it just looks great

228
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:13,200
Speaker 3: when you see that wood.

229
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 1: Hey, you talked about pruning. Yeah, there's a number of

230
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: things that you do in that space. You do brush

231
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 1: and shrub pruning as well.

232
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, we take care of shrubs. We do well.

233
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:26,959
Speaker 4: To back up a little bit, we do a lot

234
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 4: of planting also, you know, and we really ramped our

235
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 4: planting up as kind of the Emerald Dashboard epidemic, if

236
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 4: you will, is is kind of on its tail end

237
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 4: with all taking all those tree downs, right, trees down.

238
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,559
Speaker 4: We need to replace these trees, replace our urban canopy.

239
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 4: So we do a ton of planting. We do planting

240
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 4: of trees, we do planting of shrubs. Then we help

241
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 4: prune those those shrubs those trees. Like most people, you

242
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 4: think when you put a tree and oh, it's good

243
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 4: for the next five ten years. But you need to

244
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:59,719
Speaker 4: really prune that tree and look at it early and

245
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 4: off often. You know, I'd say on an annual basis.

246
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 4: Once you plant a tree, you should have someone out

247
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 4: doing structural pruning. You can avoid so many issues down

248
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 4: the line if you have that tree taking care of

249
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,439
Speaker 4: on a regular basis. Mike, you're talking about those storms

250
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,679
Speaker 4: that came through with the rain and the wind. We've

251
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 4: seen to be having a lot more weather events.

252
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 2: You know.

253
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 4: These limbs that fail, These are defects on these trees,

254
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 4: or maybe not defect is the right word, but like

255
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 4: poor branch attachment that was all on that tree at

256
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 4: planting typically, So if you get you can take care

257
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 4: of those problems early and often and for a lot

258
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 4: less cost if you do it towards the front end

259
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 4: and not wait till that tree has been growing in

260
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:38,959
Speaker 4: that same spot for ten plus years and when a

261
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 4: lot of those issues are hard to correct.

262
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 3: That's why I said you need to call them ahead

263
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 3: of time, because you'll see branches shoot off a certain way,

264
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 3: and like I saw, he does a presentation with inspectors

265
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 3: on things, and you'll see that and you see a

266
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 3: branch like just grows off in two different directions, and

267
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 3: he can tell you ahead of time whether it's going

268
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 3: to fall or fail or what you can do to

269
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,560
Speaker 3: fix it, or you know, it's something you just got trimum.

270
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 3: So and know what I'm suggesting is you don't have

271
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 3: to wait for it to fall in your house and

272
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 3: then deal with your insurance car.

273
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 2: Don't do that.

274
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:05,440
Speaker 4: Yes's fun.

275
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 3: You can do this ahead of time.

276
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, hey, And I don't mean to keep going back

277
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 1: to this house on eightyeshtree, But there was a big

278
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 1: tree in the backyard and I can tell you that

279
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 1: the roots, you the way I cut the grass each

280
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 1: year was different. Right where I had to stop and

281
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 1: as it was moving towards the house is there? Are

282
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,719
Speaker 1: you able to help with with that? And can you

283
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 1: predict how long it's going to be before it does

284
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: get maybe into the foundation.

285
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 4: We can to a certain extent, you know, and that's

286
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 4: what's kind of beautiful and frustrating about trees. And you know,

287
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:43,719
Speaker 4: biological organisms, you know, you can only you can kind

288
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 4: of have educated guesses of what's going to go on.

289
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 4: But yeah, I mean certain species have roots that grow faster,

290
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 4: that are more aggressive. You know, the big thing is

291
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 4: roots are going to thrive or there is the right

292
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 4: amount of moisture and oxygen. So with with houses and foundations,

293
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,839
Speaker 4: the key is making uh, you know that grade be

294
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 4: proper away from the house. You want water moving away

295
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 4: from the house. But yet over time trees aren't static.

296
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,320
Speaker 4: They're they're changing. Those roots are getting bigger, so you

297
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 4: see trees kind of press up over time, and then

298
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:17,320
Speaker 4: you can kind of change that slope of drainage towards

299
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 4: the house. So in those instances you have to kind

300
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 4: of think outside the box. Maybe that tree, it's not

301
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 4: the right spot for that tree, or maybe you got

302
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,959
Speaker 4: to find a way of diverting that water somewhere else.

303
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:30,559
Speaker 1: If if you get nervous that there could be again

304
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 1: in that backyard. Every year that I cut the grass

305
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 1: was was a different all of a sudden. Instead of

306
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 1: you know, going to the left, I had to go

307
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: a little further a little closer to the house, because

308
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 1: you could see the rood coming out of the grass

309
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 1: and it it was it's moving, yeah, towards the house.

310
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 1: Will they eventually have to take that tree down?

311
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 4: Not necessarily, I mean I have a oh it's probably

312
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 4: about a forty five in strim or silver maple, which

313
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:03,679
Speaker 4: is large, mature, deciduous tree, and that's probably about ten

314
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,679
Speaker 4: feet away from my house. You know, I have all

315
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,199
Speaker 4: the grading around the house is as good as possible.

316
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 4: You know, there's plenty of other soil volume for those

317
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 4: roots to go to. Because roots are lazy, that's one

318
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 4: way of explaining it. So they're they're opportunistic. They're gonna

319
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 4: go where that those good soil conditions are. So a

320
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 4: lot of water is not great for a root, or

321
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 4: no water or a lack of water is bad for

322
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 4: a root also, So it all depends some situations that

323
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 4: tree does have to come out. But you know, there

324
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 4: are instances where we can, like, you know, strategically and

325
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 4: selectively prune roots. You know, it's never you know, root's

326
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 4: never gonna want to be pruned right right, but you

327
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 4: know it can be done and have minimal effect on

328
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 4: the tree. In a lot of situations. But you know,

329
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 4: the smaller the root, the further away from the tree

330
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 4: is always the better. So we instances like that, you

331
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 4: definitely have to have someone that's qualified to know what

332
00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 4: they're they're looking at and to help guide you with that.

333
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 4: I have a clients and Wawa Tilsa, we're gonna be

334
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 4: doing that same thing. He has a big honey locust

335
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 4: route going underneath his garage and we got to take

336
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 4: a pretty good sized root out. But you know, we

337
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 4: did an assessment on that tree. We looked at all

338
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 4: the different root flares going out, looked at the soil volume,

339
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 4: the health of the tree, you know, and so we

340
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 4: made the decision we're going to sever this larger root

341
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 4: so he can fix his garage. You know, worst case

342
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 4: snare trees are slow, so this you know, the tree

343
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 4: is not gonna die overnight, right and trees are pretty

344
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 4: darn tough and resilient with all the stuff that we

345
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 4: do to them. So it's, you know, nothing you're going

346
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 4: to see in a textbook taking out this large route.

347
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 4: But we thought outside the box, made an educated decision.

348
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 4: We're going to do it and see how it goes, and.

349
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 2: You'll keep an eye on it.

350
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 4: Yeah.

351
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 1: Absolutely, See that's the important part, right to hire you

352
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 1: guys to come out and look, you can tell guys.

353
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 2: Like me you need to inspect your trees.

354
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 1: I don't know what I'm looking at right, I just

355
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 1: know the root's grown and for me to make an

356
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 1: educated guess that this thing is not getting close to

357
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 1: my house and the foundation in my house and maybe

358
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 1: we just need to take this big beautiful tree that

359
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 1: gave our backyard patio shade out. I I you know,

360
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 1: I need to talk to you guys like you first. Yeah,

361
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 1: to have people come out, Hey do you plant? What

362
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 1: time of the year is the best time of the

363
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 1: year to plant new trees?

364
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 4: You know what's nice with the most of the nurseries

365
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 4: around here and the ones that we work with, a

366
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 4: lot of the stock comes in containers are bald and

367
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 4: burl apped, and you have the whole season to plant

368
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 4: those trees. So yeah, we just wrapped up our planting season.

369
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 4: But I mean you can pretty much go to the

370
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 4: grounds just about frozen. You know. The biggest direct you know,

371
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 4: determining factor is the nursery having the type of tree

372
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 4: that you want and the size that you want. But Yeah,

373
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 4: we typically fire up the planting crew and in April

374
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 4: if the weather's nice, and yeah, I think it was

375
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 4: just last week we wrapped up our planting for the season.

376
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 4: But it's a nice long season.

377
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 1: So yeah, it really is. What are you guys busiest

378
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 1: with now? Pruning would be it.

379
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 2: And then come winter time, what do you what do

380
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 2: you guys transition?

381
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:12,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, we worked you around. So winter is a great

382
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 4: time to prune. It's just a different time of the

383
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:19,159
Speaker 4: year and a different phase that the tree is going through. Right,

384
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:20,680
Speaker 4: you have all the leaves that are off if it's

385
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 4: a deciduous tree, so you can kind of see the

386
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 4: structure of that tree a lot a lot better, so

387
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:29,360
Speaker 4: you can make easier decisions on and see what you're

388
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:31,160
Speaker 4: working with a lot a lot easier.

389
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:33,400
Speaker 1: One of the things I don't miss about living over

390
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 1: there is I was never I don't like raking and

391
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: moving leaves, and it seemed and my wife, if she's listening,

392
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:43,359
Speaker 1: you know, will laugh. Everybody in our neighborhood's tree. The

393
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 1: leaves would be gone, you know, first second week in November,

394
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:50,640
Speaker 1: I'm telling you our Thanksgiving ours and people would.

395
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:52,680
Speaker 2: Come by and go, wow, your your tree.

396
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 1: As if I go, I know, like everybody has already

397
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 1: gotten done with all the raking they needed to do,

398
00:17:57,640 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 1: and we would either try to do it, you know,

399
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:02,880
Speaker 1: every other day once they started falling, or we'd wait

400
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 1: till the end and that it was about it. I

401
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:08,119
Speaker 1: lived in a little house, but there's a lot number

402
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 1: of trees.

403
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 4: In all the years I've been doing this. I'm a

404
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 4: third generation, you know, a family member running this business.

405
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 4: I've not met one person that said they enjoy raking.

406
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 2: Nobody, nobody, but you.

407
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 4: Know, every tree drops something. It's about you know, how

408
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 4: much and when, But you know, the benefits always, in

409
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,399
Speaker 4: my opinion, outweigh the negatives.

410
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:31,960
Speaker 3: Of that coming or raking. Which is better for the soil?

411
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:36,919
Speaker 4: Oh? I mean, so you know, think about trees in

412
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 4: a forest where there's no there's no law, and those

413
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 4: trees can last thousands of years literally without any help

414
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 4: from anybody else. You know.

415
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 2: It's a great point.

416
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,159
Speaker 4: Yeah, you put trees in an urban setting, you know,

417
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 4: and that's when they need help from companies like our

418
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,159
Speaker 4: ours and another qualified.

419
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 2: Let's hear you're you're here. Yeah, you know what.

420

Speaker 1: You go to hoppytree Service dot com. That's where you

421
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 1: have to go. I can tell you that. And I've

Speaker 1: I can tell you that there are some really valuable information.

427
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 2: In some of these.

428
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:21,679
Speaker 1: I I didn't go into this thinking I was going

429
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,639
Speaker 1: to learn a lot about about trees and about this

430
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 1: time of year and about you know, tree root systems

431
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:31,959
Speaker 1: and and you know what, why my tree leaves are

432
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:35,640
Speaker 1: turning yellow? This kind of stuff very interesting information on

433
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 1: that website again, hoppytree service dot com.

434
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:40,399
Speaker 2: You need to get to a break other side of

435
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 2: the break I needed to.

436
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 1: We need to talk about the next fall that's coming,

437
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 1: right or the next season that's coming, that's winter. And

438
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 1: there's a lot of things that I think people have

439
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 1: to understand, including making sure we don't salt too much

440
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 1: around where the trees are and what that does to

441
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 1: the trees along with a lot of snow up on

442
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 1: the branches. And let's make sure you guys are ready

443
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 1: for the winter that's coming. And nobody better to give

Speaker 1: you know, we did this a couple of weeks ago

489

Speaker 1: and and he went off and got married and and

490
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 1: my goodness, he cleans up nice.

491
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 2: Ye, these pictures looked like a model.

492
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:20,679
Speaker 3: That's what he said. He goes, yeah, I want to

493
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:22,119
Speaker 3: call h Mike to tell him I got married. He

494
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 3: said he already knew. I said, yeah, we told we

495
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:25,120
Speaker 3: toltalbody lying on the radio.

496
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 2: Man, I kind of knew before heat is.

497
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 3: He goes, wow, I didn't listen because six o'clock in

498
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 3: the morning when he was in Washington, when we talked

499
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 3: about it in the radio.

500
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 1: Just beautiful pictures. Yeah, he looked, he looked great. And

501
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 1: after I said, man, you you sure clean up well.

502
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 1: Then the next eight text messages were all about golf.

503
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 1: How come we didn't get out this year? Might still

504
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,359
Speaker 1: have time? Stuff like that. And I said, hey, you,

505
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:52,399
Speaker 1: as a married guy, can you still go play? He goes, yeah, nothing,

506
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:55,200
Speaker 1: you kidding me? Whatever, Just give a little more time,

507
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 1: a little more time this way it's coming. And now

508
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 1: my wife's like, Archie, it's really nice. Aren't you going

509
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 1: to go play golf? And I'm like, you don't want

510
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:07,399
Speaker 1: me around much? That's awesome, hey, Freddy. This time of year,

511
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:11,640
Speaker 1: as we look winter's coming. And during the break you said, Look,

512
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:14,680
Speaker 1: with the lack of snow that we had last year

513
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:19,920
Speaker 1: affects trees one way. And if we get a boatload

514
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:23,360
Speaker 1: of snow and you know, we haven't had the kind

515
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 1: of blizzards and snow that we had when I was

516
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 1: a kid, I don't think unless it's in my mind

517
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,199
Speaker 1: and I just think, boy, we've gotten so much, but

518
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 1: it doesn't seem like it does. What does that do

519
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 1: to the trees?

520
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 4: Yes, Like I mentioned before, trees are kind of slow

521
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:41,919
Speaker 4: to react. So like it's a accumulating, accumulating effect. So

522
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:44,960
Speaker 4: throughout the year, if we're having a dry year or

523
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:48,440
Speaker 4: a wet year, it definitely has takes its toll or

524
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 4: can take its toll on trees. Right. So like this year,

525
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:54,439
Speaker 4: and we've had a couple of big rain events throughout

526
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 4: the summer, but overall it was pretty dry. We did

527
00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 4: get some rain kind of this fall. But you know,

528
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 4: watering your trees, especially evergreens in the fall is definitely

529
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:07,200
Speaker 4: highly recommended. As long as you have your your hose

530
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 4: out and that spigot turned on, think about giving those

531
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 4: trees a drink of water. I'm going into winter, you know.

532
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 2: Just before the first freeze or yeah, past.

533
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 4: The first freeze, you know, as long as you're comfortable

534
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 4: having your water on and the ground's not frozen so

535
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,920
Speaker 4: that water can saturate down. You know, winter burn has

536
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:29,639
Speaker 4: been a kind of increasing issue that we've seen coming

537
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 4: out of winter the last few few years. So we'll

538
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 4: get you know, the transition of seasons seem to have

539
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 4: these bigger temperature swings. So yeah, like especially late winter,

540
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 4: you'll have warm winter days, trees think, oh, you know,

541
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:45,879
Speaker 4: I'm thinking like late February here where you get a

542
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:48,359
Speaker 4: nice warm day. Trees think it's time to start pulling

543
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 4: moisture out of the ground, but the ground's frozen and

544
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:52,399
Speaker 4: it can't so they can dry out. And then you

545
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 4: add in winter winds, and then you'll get this browning

546
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 4: and which can obviously be bad for a tree if

547
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:00,960
Speaker 4: some areas of it are are dying back.

548
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 1: You know, you made a comment about trees in the

549
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 1: forest that nobody you know, they can last for forever basically,

550
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 1: and and nobody's out there doing anything to them. And

551
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 1: then you go in the city and and you think about,

552
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 1: look when you salt your walk, when you when they

553
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 1: when they when they come through and salt the streets

554
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 1: with the trees next to it, how much effect does.

555
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 2: That have on them?

556
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:26,959
Speaker 4: Yeah? Absolutely, I mean too much salt is is going

557
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 4: to have a bad effect. You know, there's certain species

558
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 4: that can tolerate tolerate that more than others. But that's

559
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 4: definitely another reason to like kind of water your trees

560
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 4: on a regular basis, especially actually in spring. Get if

561
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,400
Speaker 4: you are in an area that the street you live

562
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:43,879
Speaker 4: on uses salt, you know, you definitely want to flush

563
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 4: that out as best as possible in spring, you know,

564
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 4: and going into winter. You know, I mentioned, uh, the watering.

565
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 4: Another thing you can do is actually there's full your

566
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 4: applications you can put on your trees to help retain moisture,

567
00:25:56,680 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 4: especially on evergreens these, uh, to prevent desiccation in which

568
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 4: is those that that burning out that I mentioned. There's

569
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 4: still a good opportunity to get that taken care of

570
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 4: this year. So a lot of people notice kind of

571
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:12,239
Speaker 4: this natural phenomena fall seasonal needle drop that goes on

572
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 4: in this time of year. You'll see some browning on

573
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:16,159
Speaker 4: the interior of the trees. It freaks a lot of

574
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:20,639
Speaker 4: people out. It's a natural thing, but that is you know,

575
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:23,120
Speaker 4: trees that have that are going through a little bit

576
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:26,439
Speaker 4: of stress but not moving the needle too much. But

577
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:30,479
Speaker 4: you know, evergreens definitely benefit from these follier applications of

578
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 4: this anti desicont spray and that can help retain that

579
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:37,439
Speaker 4: moisture throughout the season and throughout the spray.

580
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've got some of that, I think in my garage.

581
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 2: If you need to borrow some of you just let

582
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 2: me know.

583
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 4: I guess. I yeah, doing this as long as I have,

584
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 4: I guess. I feel like, you know, I calculate. It's

585
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 4: like I started working full times that you know fit

586
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:54,120
Speaker 4: in the summer is at fifteen. So it's like, good,

587
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 4: twenty eight years I've been doing this and and family

588
00:26:58,000 --> 00:26:59,640
Speaker 4: paid at least I did it for I've been doing

589
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:00,359
Speaker 4: it my whole life.

590
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, I bet, I bet when you were seven or

591
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 1: eight it was fun to go out.

592
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I love going out with my dad.

593
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 2: And are you comfortable in high spaces?

594
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 4: I am? I am. You know, I don't trust ladders,

595
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:13,359
Speaker 4: but I trust trees.

596
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:15,959
Speaker 2: Okay, So yeah, you got to be to do what

597
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 2: you do right.

598
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:19,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's a certain part of it that it's hard

599
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 4: to teach. You have to be comfortable at at you know,

600
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:27,359
Speaker 4: heights and awkward positions and you got to trust your gear.

601
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 2: Yeah.

602
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 3: Well, you actually do some really cool things that parks

603
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 3: some stuff during the summertime. Oh yeah, little kids can

604
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 3: go play with that equipment and go up trees and

605
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 3: stuff and it's always a big hit every Yeah, we.

606
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 4: Love doing that. We have these kid climbs event events

607
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:41,400
Speaker 4: throughout the year. We're you know, kind of already pre

608
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:44,159
Speaker 4: planning for next year. But it's great getting kids active,

609
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 4: getting them outside up in these trees, getting them to

610
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 4: appreciate trees. We just love people that love trees, and

611
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:53,959
Speaker 4: you know, they're they're all around us. There's you know,

612
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 4: science behind it, making people healthier, happier, to safer.

613
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 1: Do you at times find yourself trying to talk people

614
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 1: out of taking trees down?

615
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 4: Oh yeah all the time.

616
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:05,879
Speaker 2: You know.

617
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 4: You know what I love doing is getting people people

618
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 4: comfortable around the trees that they have, you know, talking

619
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 4: about all these storms that we've had. Someone sees a

620
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 4: tree fall in the neighborhood, or know someone that had

621
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:22,639
Speaker 4: a tree failure. It's it can be frightening, you know,

622
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 4: especially if if you have a large tree in a

623
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:25,640
Speaker 4: target close by.

624
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, want to a question from a first segment.

625
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 3: We never asked about it. What about somebody has a

626
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 3: sidewalk that's coming up or a dry weight that's coming

627
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 3: up from a tree. You know, the recommend you know,

628
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:37,680
Speaker 3: you just got to cut it down or what can

629
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:37,959
Speaker 3: you do?

630
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 4: That can be tough, you know, I kind of we

631
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 4: did touch down that a little bit. So like it's

632
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 4: all case by case. So you know, in certain instances

633
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:49,240
Speaker 4: that tree can be saved by selective root pruning, severing

634
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 4: that root then you know, taking that concrete or whatever

635
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 4: it was away then and excavating the root that was

636
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 4: underneath it. But that doesn't work in every every scenario.

637
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 4: So that's very case by case. And like we were

638
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 4: talking about, trees, never like having roots cut, but sometimes

639
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 4: that's what is what is needed to be done. You know,

640
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 4: on the smaller the route, the further it is away

641
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 4: from the tree at the base of the tree, the

642
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 4: better chances of that tree thriving, continuing to thrive and

643
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 4: do well after the pruning. Like we did a big

644
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 4: project out at the Commodore restaurant. They had a huge,

645
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 4: you know, well over one hundred and fifty year old

646
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:32,960
Speaker 4: baroque tree that they had to create walkways and patios around,

647
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 4: so they had us come in on the front end.

648
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 4: They knew they had a beautiful tree wanted to save it.

649
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 4: So that was great having the designers and the engineers

650
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 4: and the architects identify that and we're able to get

651
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 4: the tree in a good, good position health wise.

652
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 3: Want does it excavator cut the tree? Or you guys

653
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 3: were better at cutting a tree when a tree is

654
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 3: in a way like that?

655
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, we are. We're better at it, you know, I mean,

656
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 4: you know, having a construction company just know that they

657
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 4: need to tread lightly and work diligently around those those

658
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:04,480
Speaker 4: roots is part of the battle too.

659
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 2: Hey do you did?

660
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 1: You guys do a lot in the commercial space, like

661
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 1: you just talked about.

662
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 4: We do.

663
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 2: We do.

664
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 4: We We work with a number of different construction companies

665
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 4: in coordination with projects that they have to do. We've

666
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 4: we've done a couple uh clearings of of of land

667
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 4: for parking lots, for athletic fields. We've helped save mature

668
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 4: trees around uh new fields and new buildings going in.

669
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 4: There's a cool project we did at Wawatosas High School

670
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 4: a number of years back, saving a line of mature,

671
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 4: normy maple trees, so that that we're kind of shielding

672
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:42,240
Speaker 4: the surrounding houses from the new lights that were going up.

673
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 4: But it was great. Like with the the outreach we've done,

674
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 4: we've helped educate engineers and architects about the value of

675
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 4: these trees and and what should be done in advance

676
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 4: so that they're not just digging trenches over root zones

677
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 4: or you know, and.

678
00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 1: Well considering tree location yeah is really important.

679
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, and where you're going to put it.

680
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 1: Hey, we got a text and and to kind of

681
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:09,080
Speaker 1: get off off the winter subject a little bit, was

682
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 1: somebody a text to ask about the mangolia tree disease.

683
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, the magnolia scale. So that was that's an insect

684
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 4: that is very specific to magnolia trees, but it can

685
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 4: be such a nuisance. These these insects will suck the

686
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 4: sap out of the twigs of the branches towards the

687
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 4: end it's and they ingest that that sap and they

688
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:36,960
Speaker 4: they they spit it out essentially excrete it. And it's

689
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:40,600
Speaker 4: a sticky substance that gets over everything and it causes

690
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 4: this powdery mildew and if it's left long enough unchecked,

691
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:47,040
Speaker 4: it can actually they can suck so much sap out

692
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 4: of the twigs that they can die back. And it's

693
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 4: a very tough persistent bug. To deal with a lot

694
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:56,480
Speaker 4: of people that have magnolias, we need to actually preemptively,

695
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 4: you know, do treatments on that tree to kind of

696
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:01,760
Speaker 4: keep that bug in. But you know, dealing with a

697
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 4: biological organism like that, you can have certain years where

698
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 4: those populations will boom, you know, and uh just due

699
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 4: to the kind of the weather that we're having. So

700
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 4: you can be kind of doing everything right and mother

701
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 4: nature can throw you for a loop. So imagine if

702
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 4: like no care is done to that tree, how devastating

703
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 4: an event like that could be.

704
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 3: It's I know, like w you know she has she

705
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 3: has my speed dial. She'll you still see like one

706
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 3: bug on a tree.

707
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 4: Just getting photos text over like like these dang bugs.

708
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:35,440
Speaker 4: We got to do something about it, so, you know,

709
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:37,960
Speaker 4: And that's what we love is like educating our clients

710
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 4: about what is the right time to do something.

711
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 3: You don't have to wait to it's debt, you can

712
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 3: you can treat you ahead.

713
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 4: Like magnolia scale for instance, is a tricky one because

714
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 4: they have certain life stages that they have to that

715
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:51,720
Speaker 4: they're susceptible.

716
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 3: She has, she loves it. But the week after those things,

717
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 3: the things make a big mess. Yeah. I mean I

718
00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:59,280
Speaker 3: was like, I know, you think it looks great, but

719
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:00,720
Speaker 3: then you gotta do with them and I can't break

720
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 3: my truck anywhere near it, and then just it's a mess.

721
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, AVOCU, we're like tree counselors between husbands and wives.

722
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:07,600

00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:37,319
Speaker 4: There are definitely days where I wish I could just

753
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 4: talk to a tree as opposed to twelve clients.

754
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:40,839
Speaker 2: I bet, I.

755
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:43,759
Speaker 3: Bet, especially when when everybody's because you know, all the

00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:46,400
Speaker 3: phone calls, I'm sure, like in our business after a storm,

00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:48,160
Speaker 3: you're just like, yeah, I wish I was one of

758
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:49,879
Speaker 3: those guys. I was sitting down a bucket eating lunch

759
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:50,360
Speaker 3: right now.

760
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:53,240
Speaker 4: What I love is, you know, giving people good news.

761
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:56,879
Speaker 4: You know, they come into an appointment worried about their

762
00:34:56,920 --> 00:35:01,320
Speaker 4: tree or a disease issue, potential disease issue, insect issue,

763
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:04,719
Speaker 4: like tell them, Hey, you don't have to worry about this.

764
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:06,600
Speaker 4: This is what's going on. This is when you should

765
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 4: take care of this. This is when you take care

766
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:10,640
Speaker 4: of that. That is a really good day when you

767
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:11,720
Speaker 4: give that good news.

768
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:12,040
Speaker 2: Hey.

769
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:14,360
Speaker 1: I got a text from a friend of mine who said,

770
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:18,920
Speaker 1: would you ask about about mulch before winter around the

771
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:22,759
Speaker 1: roots of the tree. And he had dug he had

772
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:26,320
Speaker 1: actually called me last night and said, look, I'm online

773
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:30,040
Speaker 1: and one place said don't put any mulch and get

774
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:33,720
Speaker 1: it away from the base and the roots of the tree.

775
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:36,279
Speaker 1: And another place he read said put three to four

776
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:38,839
Speaker 1: inches of mulch around the tree. And you said, would

777
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:43,840
Speaker 1: you ask Freddy explain which the best direction for somebody

778
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:45,320
Speaker 1: here in southeast Wisconsin.

779
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:48,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, mulch is great. You know, it's amazing how simple

780
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:53,319
Speaker 4: it is, a simple concept, but it can be misconstrued

781
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:56,520
Speaker 4: and taken so many different ways. But I think of

782
00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:58,960
Speaker 4: it this way. You know, we talked about trees in

783
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:01,440
Speaker 4: a forest doing great on their own, So what can

784
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:05,320
Speaker 4: we do to mimic those those circumstances?

785
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:05,560
Speaker 2: Right?

786
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 4: So if we can mimic what's going on on the

787
00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:09,279
Speaker 4: forest floor. It's going to be better for the trees

788
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:11,799
Speaker 4: in our landscape. So mulch is a great way of

789
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 4: doing that, but done correctly. So you know, roots are

790
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:19,400
Speaker 4: going to thrive when there's the right amount of moisture

791
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 4: and oxygen, and having mulch over that root system creates

792
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:28,280
Speaker 4: those great conditions for those roots to thrive. So mulch

793
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:30,840
Speaker 4: is great. You know, three to four inches of mulch

794
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:33,440
Speaker 4: is about the most you'd want to do, you know,

795
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:36,919
Speaker 4: and you'd want to put it as far in as

796
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 4: far of a radius away from that trunks as works

797
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:42,800
Speaker 4: for your landscape. You know, the tree would love it

798
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 4: if it came out to the drip line, which is

799
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:47,440
Speaker 4: like the spread of the canopy, right, But that doesn't

800
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:50,759
Speaker 4: work for every landscape. Right, So even if it comes

801
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:52,560
Speaker 4: out a foot or two, it's going to have some

802
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 4: benefits for the tree. One, it's going to keep the

803
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:57,879
Speaker 4: string trimmer away from it, so you're not it makes

804
00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:01,600
Speaker 4: it easier to mow. It can look really nice in

805
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:02,960
Speaker 4: a landscape, but.

806
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 2: You don't want to put it right on the base, No.

807
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:07,840
Speaker 4: You want to you want to see as that tree

808
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:10,120
Speaker 4: goes into the ground, you want to see the tree

809
00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 4: get wider. They call that the root flare. You know,

810
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:14,200
Speaker 4: if you have a tree that looks like it's a

811
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:17,080
Speaker 4: pencil stuck into the ground, something's wrong. Either that tree

812
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:19,719
Speaker 4: was planted too deep or the grade was changed. So

813
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:21,759
Speaker 4: you want to see that flare of the tree as

814
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 4: it goes into the ground, and you want to bring

815
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 4: the mulch up to that flare. You don't want to

816
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:27,840
Speaker 4: put it on the flare or on the base of

817
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:30,799
Speaker 4: the trunk. Similar like like a sided house, you want

818
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:33,359
Speaker 4: to think of putting soil or mulch against the wood

819
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:35,799
Speaker 4: sided house, right, the same with a tree. You don't

820
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:37,879
Speaker 4: want to put that mulch on the trunk of that tree.

821
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:38,760
Speaker 4: It's gonna stay.

822
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:41,480
Speaker 3: What things What things shouldn't you do to a tree?

823
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 3: Like put top? So what shouldn't you add, like bricks first, top, soil?

824
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:45,759
Speaker 2: What is it that?

825
00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:48,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, you don't want You don't want to change the

826
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:50,400
Speaker 4: grade plus or minus, you know, more than three or

827
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 4: four inches unless you go through a lot of extra steps.

828
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:57,760
Speaker 4: You don't want to, you know, like I said, roots

829
00:37:57,800 --> 00:37:59,799
Speaker 4: like the right amount of moisture and oxygen. So they

830
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:02,560
Speaker 4: don't like compaction. You know, you don't want to have

831
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:04,840
Speaker 4: you don't want to park vehicles, you know, on a

832
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:09,920
Speaker 4: regular basis over that root zone that's gonna squish the

833
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:13,680
Speaker 4: the paricles of soil, limiting the movement of water and oxygen.

834
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:16,600
Speaker 4: So you basically come you want you want to keep

835
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:20,520
Speaker 4: in mind moisture and oxygen in that root zone, light

836
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 4: and fluffy, you know, so like think of like no mold,

837
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:26,800
Speaker 4: no no raking leaves, Like letting those leaves break down

838
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:29,719
Speaker 4: and around the tree are great, but obviously you got

839
00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:32,920
Speaker 4: to balance that with having like a nice lawn. But

840
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:36,040
Speaker 4: that's where like having the you know, mulch circles around trees,

841
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:38,440
Speaker 4: you can kind of shred up your your leaves and

842
00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:41,200
Speaker 4: you can use those around around your trees and certain instants.

843
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:43,399
Speaker 1: I try to talk my wife into that one one

844
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:45,680
Speaker 1: year where hey, let's just leave them because I think

845
00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:47,920
Speaker 1: it's really good for this. It was probably good for

846
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:50,399
Speaker 1: the trees, but not great for the grass. I've tried

847
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:53,200
Speaker 1: hes like, we're never doing that again. I go, I know,

848
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:53,960
Speaker 1: I got that.

849
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:55,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, my wife tells me what to do in my

850
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:58,160
Speaker 4: yard with my trees all the time, like, honey, do

851
00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:01,120
Speaker 4: you know like people pay me for my tree. She's like,

852
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:03,000
Speaker 4: it doesn't matter if Freddy.

853
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:05,400
Speaker 1: Not in my house, man not in my house. Freddy

854
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:07,720
Speaker 1: take the garbage out and do this to these trees.

855
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 2: I love that. Guys were Yes, Dear, We'll get to

856
00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:11,200
Speaker 2: a break. Other side of the.

857
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:14,719
Speaker 1: Break will continue our conversation. He is Freddie Happy Look

858

860
00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:25,960
Speaker 1: if you can't hear the passion in his voice when

861
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:29,000
Speaker 1: it comes to this space, to your trees. When he

862
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:32,160
Speaker 1: talks about look, going out and inspecting it, that's not

863
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:34,120
Speaker 1: going to do anything for a guy like me because

864
00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:36,080
Speaker 1: I can look at it all day and say, yeah,

865
00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:38,480
Speaker 1: it looks great, I don't really know. But to have

866
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:40,239
Speaker 1: him come out and take a look at it, it's

867
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:43,480
Speaker 1: a whole different level, just a whole different level. I've

868
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:46,399
Speaker 1: got a few more questions for him on the other

869
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:47,160
Speaker 1: side of the break.

870
00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:48,520

878
00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:16,640
Speaker 1: want to know anything about trees, Freddie Happy Hoppy Tree

879
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:18,080
Speaker 1: Service is the guyograph.

880
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:19,759
Speaker 3: We have to bring them in a lot sooner than

881
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:20,480
Speaker 3: just once a year.

882
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:24,480
Speaker 1: Any questions, man, spring, We we have to bring you

883
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:27,120
Speaker 1: back in spring. Because the amount of questions and text

884
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:29,959
Speaker 1: messages I've gotten to ask you, I can't get through

885
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:32,839
Speaker 1: all of them. But I promised this guy he had

886
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:37,720
Speaker 1: a couple of trees this this spring at this house

887
00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:42,440
Speaker 1: in Mekwan, and he's now he's worried about rodents and

888
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:46,120
Speaker 1: rabbits and and in the winter time. How to protect

889
00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:49,279
Speaker 1: these trees because as you said during the break, it

890
00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:53,520
Speaker 1: seems like these these animals sure like new expensive trees.

891
00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:56,640
Speaker 4: And then there is a's a multi prong approach. There's

892
00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:59,680
Speaker 4: a lot of good strategies out there, but you know,

893
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:02,160
Speaker 4: kind of physical barriers are the best, especially when you're

894
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:05,600
Speaker 4: dealing with rabbits, dealing with deer deer you have a

895
00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:08,400
Speaker 4: couple of different issues, right, you have buck rub in

896
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:11,560
Speaker 4: the fall, and then you have the browsing. So it

897
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:12,680
Speaker 4: kind of starts with like.

898
00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:14,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, what's browsy?

899
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:15,280
Speaker 2: What is browsing?

900
00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:18,680
Speaker 4: It's not a fancy one like anti desec w they're

901
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:19,640
Speaker 4: eating eating.

902
00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:22,680
Speaker 1: You notice that the three other people in the studio

903
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 1: look like browsing.

904
00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:26,799
Speaker 4: All right, thank you for that little reminder. But yeah,

905
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:29,920
Speaker 4: but deer munching on the leaves over the needles.

906
00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:31,080
Speaker 3: Maybe like a little moss iPad.

907
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:35,919
Speaker 2: Exactly what I thought. How does that work?

908
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:39,000
Speaker 4: Well, it starts with, like, you know, picking the right species.

909
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:40,759
Speaker 4: So if you have in your area you have a

910
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:42,879
Speaker 4: lot of deer pressure, you know, you want to stick

911
00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:44,920
Speaker 4: to certain species that they may stay away from. You know,

912
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:49,120
Speaker 4: on the evergreen inside, there's some really good opportunities species

913
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:53,239
Speaker 4: like green giant is a western cedar. These Thusia placata

914
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:57,319
Speaker 4: is the botanical name. Of course, I go again, Yeah,

915
00:41:57,600 --> 00:42:02,400
Speaker 4: I can't. Certain spruce trees, certain our providers there just

916
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:05,799
Speaker 4: naturally stay away from. So that's that's a nice thing

917
00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:07,680
Speaker 4: to know right off the bat when you're planning on

918
00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:08,400
Speaker 4: what you're putting in.

919
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:12,600
Speaker 1: Hey, when when when when one of the people that

920
00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:15,680
Speaker 1: that we have in studio. You know, home builders or

921
00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:19,040
Speaker 1: if they're building a subdivision, do they contact you, a

922
00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:21,440
Speaker 1: guy like you, to say, hey, listen, we're going to

923
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:24,879
Speaker 1: be putting four houses in this area and we want

924
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:25,760
Speaker 1: to plant trees.

925
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:27,719
Speaker 2: What trees do you recommend? Yeah?

926
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:31,600
Speaker 4: Absolutely, I'm actually working with warmer communities, are the big

927
00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:36,879
Speaker 4: apartment builders, town center builders, and it's great creating those

928
00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:40,640
Speaker 4: relationships where we want. We have this consultive approach to

929
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:43,239
Speaker 4: working with our clients, you know, and that's just value

930
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:45,280
Speaker 4: added when you work with Hopy Tree Service, We're always

931
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:48,480
Speaker 4: available to set you up for success, let you know

932
00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:51,960
Speaker 4: what you need to know when it comes to that

933
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:53,240
Speaker 4: planning side.

934
00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:55,480
Speaker 1: And how much Look when you drive through some of

935
00:42:55,840 --> 00:43:00,520
Speaker 1: our neighborhoods, now you see this this color contrast and

936
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:03,080
Speaker 1: this bright red tree. Now that that I asked you

937
00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:04,919
Speaker 1: about and you said, that's a high bread and that's

938
00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 1: what this is. But do you do you go into

939
00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:12,839
Speaker 1: if you were going to be planting for wimmer or

940
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:16,080
Speaker 1: for a new subdivision, do you go in there with

941
00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:19,160
Speaker 1: with a game plan of making sure that the colors

942
00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:22,160
Speaker 1: are different and changing at different times to kind of

943
00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:23,200
Speaker 1: give that wall factor.

944
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:25,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's absolutely, like one of we think of, like,

945
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:27,920
Speaker 4: what are the functional benefits of this tree? What do

946
00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:30,520
Speaker 4: we want to provide in fall? Color is definitely something

947
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:32,920
Speaker 4: we think of. You know, we think of mature size,

948
00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:35,160
Speaker 4: We think of animal pressure. You know those trees you're

949
00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:38,040
Speaker 4: just talking about, the autumn blaze maple, you know, very

950
00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:41,080
Speaker 4: thin barred tree. Deer love to rub on that trunk,

951
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:44,960
Speaker 4: especially uh in the fall, especially when those trees are young,

952
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:46,120
Speaker 4: when that barks even thinner.

953
00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:48,080
Speaker 3: I'm just wondering, did do you go to class to

954
00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:50,719
Speaker 3: learn all these names of trees rub on? How do

955
00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:51,840
Speaker 3: we know?

956
00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:55,279
Speaker 4: You know that these trees just emit certain pheromones and

957
00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:58,480
Speaker 4: these maybe there is maybe there is like deer class.

958
00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:00,520
Speaker 2: You know, invited.

959
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:03,040
Speaker 1: I've not been invited to speak there in either of you.

960
00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:05,839
Speaker 1: They don't want to know. They don't want to come

961
00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:08,400
Speaker 1: and mess with you for sure. Hey, getting back to

962
00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:11,200
Speaker 1: this buddy of mind who planted two trees out in

963
00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:15,600
Speaker 1: the Mechuan area, is there any support that that they

964
00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:19,320
Speaker 1: should be looking at prior to winter with with strong

965
00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:22,680
Speaker 1: winds and heavy snows. He's worried about animals, and he's

966
00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:25,120
Speaker 1: worried about Look if if this, if we get a

967
00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:27,520
Speaker 1: heavy snowfall. I don't want to lose these trees. Is

968
00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:31,520
Speaker 1: there anything that they should consider doing before the the

969
00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:35,120
Speaker 1: the the you know, it freezes, the ground freezes around

970
00:44:35,120 --> 00:44:35,399
Speaker 1: the tree.

971
00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:37,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, Well, first off, making sure the tree health is

972
00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:40,600
Speaker 4: is top notched through proper watering, fertilizing if it's needed,

973
00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:47,000
Speaker 4: supplemental support through steaks guidelines are our ways of making

974
00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:50,200
Speaker 4: sure that tree is not gonna tip over. You know,

975
00:44:50,239 --> 00:44:54,080
Speaker 4: physical barriers like fencing or plastic around the trunk of

976
00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:57,040
Speaker 4: the tree is a good way of deterring deer from

977
00:44:57,160 --> 00:45:00,760
Speaker 4: rubbing on the on that trunk. There's all actually animal

978
00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:04,080
Speaker 4: repellents as well. Last year it was kind of unprecedented

979
00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:06,120
Speaker 4: with them out of rabbit damage that I saw. I

980
00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:08,960
Speaker 4: saw them chewing on the base of a lot of

981
00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:11,960
Speaker 4: different species of shrubs as well as trees that I

982
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:15,320
Speaker 4: haven't seen them rubbing on before. So the animal repellents

983
00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:19,040
Speaker 4: done this time of year can be a good tool

984
00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:21,480
Speaker 4: in the toolbox or deterring that damage from happening.

985
00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:24,880
Speaker 1: Hey, you got the last text regarding the guy in Mekwan.

988
00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:35,520
Speaker 1: he needs to do with mulch and stuff. Can he

989
