Planting new trees on your property can boost your home’s curb appeal while also adding shade and helping to improve the environment. But before you head to the nursery to pick out a new tree for your yard, there are some important factors to consider. At Jireh Tree Care, we provide expert tree planting services in the greater Fort Lauderdale area. Our local arborists can help you with selecting the ideal tree for your situation. Here are four things to think about before selecting a tree for your property. Climate and Location One of the most critical factors to consider when selecting a tree is your local climate and the specific conditions of your yard. Different trees have varying tolerance levels for temperature, soil type, sunlight, and moisture levels. Consider factors such as sunlight exposure and soil drainage. Choose a tree species that thrives in your specific climate and can adapt to the conditions of your yard to help ensure its long-term health. Size and Growth Habit Trees come in a wide range of sizes, shapes, and growth habits, so it's essential to choose one that fits your space and aesthetic preferences. Consider how much space you have available in your yard and the tree's mature size at full growth. Pay attention to factors such as height, canopy spread, and root system. Avoid planting trees that will outgrow the space or interfere with structures, utilities, or other plants in your yard. Purpose and Function Consider the purpose and function you want the tree to serve in your yard, such as shade, privacy screening, ornamental value, or wildlife habitat. Different trees offer various benefits, so choose one that aligns with your goals and priorities. Soil Conditions and Maintenance Soil quality plays a crucial role in the health and growth of trees. Before selecting a tree, evaluate the soil conditions in your yard, including pH level, drainage, and nutrient content. Some trees are adaptable to a wide range of soil types, while others have specific soil requirements. Also, consider the maintenance requirements of the tree, including watering, fertilizing, and pest control. Choose a tree species that fits your maintenance capabilities to help ensure its continued health.

When a big tree falls into poor health, it can become prone to suddenly falling over, especially in high winds. This creates a major safety risk, potentially causing injuries and property damage. At Jireh Tree Care, we can identify trees that are posing safety concerns and then carefully remove them. Here’s a look at five signs that a tree is a safety hazard. Leaning Leaning trees can indicate issues with the root system, soil erosion, or structural instability. Whether it's leaning towards your home, a road, or another high-traffic area, a visibly unsteady tree can pose a significant risk during storms or windy conditions. Decay or Rot The presence of fungi or decaying wood is a sign of internal decay. A tree with compromised structural integrity is more likely to fail, making it a potential hazard. An experienced arborist can help assess the extent of decay and determine the necessary course of action. Cracks/Splits Visible cracks or splits in the trunk or major branches should be brought to the arborist’s attention. These structural weaknesses can result from storm damage, disease, or other factors. A tree with compromised integrity is at risk of failing, and such failures can be unpredictable and dangerous. Dead or Hanging Branches Dead or dangling branches are not only unsightly, but also dangerous. Dead branches are prone to breaking, especially during storms or periods of strong winds. These falling branches can cause harm to people, vehicles, or structures below. Root Issues Changes in the soil around the tree's base, exposed roots, or a noticeable lean can indicate root problems. The root system provides stability to the tree, and any issues with it can compromise the overall structure. Addressing root problems promptly is crucial for preventing the tree from uprooting and becoming a potential hazard.

Price very reasonable. 5 stars all the way. Thank you Jireh.” — Venitia H. “Cleared their schedule to come the next day. Trimmed and removed seed pods from 80 ft trees. Did a beautiful job on the trimming and cleanup. Reasonable price considering how many hours they put in.” — Ben W. “Freddy and his team were extremely helpful and attentive to detail. I simply looked them up on Google and found that the reviews were true. We had 2 trees taken down to the stump and 75ft (10ft high) of hedges removed with no problems at all. They worked fast and clean. I would definitely recommend their services and plan to call them for future jobs.” — Aaron L. “They showed up for a free estimate and showed up the next day....
