Russell Tree Experts tree service tips to a better world

As you get to know us, we think that you'll find that we have genuine concern for the future of the environment we all live in. Contamination of soils, watersheds, and other critical parts of our world can be avoided with responsible stewardship. So here are a few thoughts on how we can perform our tree services with minimal evironmental impact.

Step 1 - Our Biodiesel program. Biodiesel is an exciting product that can be used to power diesel engines with virtually no modification. It burns cleaner than mineral diesel, and is renewable. Currently most of our trucks, chippers and other machinery we use to provide tree services to Columbus Ohio are powered by diesel motors that we can run B20 (20% Biodiesel) in or higher.

Step 2 - Our Plant Health Care program. We focus our tree and shrub services on remedies for problems with simple, natural and biodegradable products and practices. With the opportunity to develop long term tree and shrub care goals, we can match native plants to appropriate areas of the landscape for a naturally low maintenance and beautiful garden!

We know the unique problems that affect trees in the Central Ohio region!

Step 3 - We're in the business of planting and developing trees! You can think of growing trees as a "Carbon Dioxide Sink". A carbon dioxide sink is "a carbon reservoir that is increasing in size, and is the opposite of a carbon source". Plants while photosynthesizing, convert carbon from CO2 in the atmosphere to biomass, where it no longer acts as a greenhouse gas.

Our tree services that can help you preserve the trees you have in your landscape include tree pruning, tree fertilization, tree watering, proper mulching of your trees, tree cabling and bracing, and identifying and controling tree pest and tree disease problems that are unique to the Columbus Ohio area.

Step 4 - The little things. From using florescent light bulbs in our home, office, and shop, to having a no idling policy for our machinery (rather than leave motors running, when not needed we turn them off). Little steps like these have a big impact on how much energy we use.

Step 5 - We are in a constant state of learning more and more about our world and would value any tips!
