Arboriculture is the science that studies trees and everything related to them. In a dictionary, you can find the word cultivation as the basis of agriculture, silviculture and arboriculture. Therefore, they are sciences that study the profitable relationships that human kind wants to have with plants. These relationships can be established in many and varied ways, but the key is that trees don’t usually get benefit of them. If we observe reality objectively, trees don’t need human beings for anything, or almost nothing. Recognizing this idea modestly, could be a good starting point to relate with them.

Some of the benefits they provide are:
They capture of atmospheric CO2 and turn it into oxygen. They help refreshing the environment. They protect us from sun’s ultraviolet radiation. They hold dust particles that float in the air. They act as noise absorvers. They prevent droughts and floods. They protect the soil and prevent erosion.

Advice and management of trees

We provide guidance on sustainable tree management and the resolution of conflicts of coexistence.

Evaluation of the condition of ornamental trees and palms

The assessment method we use is based on the Visual Tree Assessment (VTA). This consists of the assessment of the visible structures of the tree, and incorporates other methods of inspection and analysis based on the knowledge of the biology of the plant, tree structure, mycology and interaction between tree and fungus, integration of geometry-material-load (static) and exposure-wind (aerodynamic).The assessment of palms follows different criteria than that of trees; the absence of secondary growth reduces the capacity for visual analysis. However, the Visual Assessment allows detecting most of the visible defects.

Trees and palms pruning

It is very important to have clear objectives when pruning. Pruning must be prepared and studied, it is necessary to foresee the response of the tree and to know the conditioning factors. A methodical reasoning that takes into account all the problems that may arise in each new situation is undoubtedly the best way to avoid systematic pruning.

Controlled felling of trees and palms

Felling should be the last option to be adopted, since it is always necessary to try to solve the problem with less aggressive methods such as pruning, staking or transplanting of the individual.For the rest of the cases, it is decided to carry out the felling in a controlled manner, in order to guarantee the integrity of material and personal goods.

Artificial support

It is a dynamic shoring system for branches and trunks of tree species that present stability problems, with risk of total or partial breakage of the specimen.

Soil decompaction

There are several ways to decompact the soil; these are some of them: Incorporate organic matter. Improving filtration and drainage with the cultivation of plants to enhance porosity and mineral extraction. Radial trenching filled with a mixture of soil and amendments.

Planting of ornamental trees and palms

The design and execution of any tree plantation must be a meticulously elaborated, analyzed and consensual work. The different condition of the tree compared to other urban elements entails a great responsibility, since it is a living being that grows, changes volume, has an active internal structure and an unpredictable future that depends on multiple external factors.

Inventory of ornamental trees and palms in a given area

We elaborate a project with the positions of ornamental trees and palms, genus/species, perimeter, height, evaluation and characteristics of other important factors.

Waste collection

We take care of the management with the authorized company for the removal of plant waste.
