Momentum Tree Experts offers specialized tree care services that enhance tree health, safety, and longevity, whether revitalizing historic orchards, installing swings, protecting trees during construction, or improving root systems through soil decompaction and nutrient management.
Our ISA-Certified Arborists use advanced tools and techniques tailored to each tree’s unique needs, supporting both people and the ecosystems we share.
Momentum Tree Experts specializes in revitalizing orchards and heritage fruit trees facing unique challenges. Our ISA-Certified Arborists assess each tree’s health through three lenses: historical significance (preserving century-old specimens), ecological function (enhancing pollinator habitats), and agricultural productivity (optimizing fruit yields).
We address bear-damaged limbs through structural pruning while implementing protective trunk wraps. For fire blight outbreaks, we employ precision antibiotic injections paired with sanitized tool protocols. High-density orchards receive customized crown thinning to improve airflow and light penetration, reducing disease pressure.
By combining soil decompaction via AirSpade technology with targeted micronutrient amendments, we extend the productive lifespan of aging root systems. This approach simultaneously honors the region’s agricultural legacy while adapting orchards to modern climate realities.
Our ISA-Certified Arborists evaluate the age, structure, and past management of each tree to preserve its historical value while improving stability and long-term health.
We manage orchards to encourage healthy flowering, diverse understory plants, and balanced pest insect control, helping create habitat that supports native pollinators and beneficial insects.
Yes. Through proper pruning, soil health management, and targeted insect and disease control, we optimize tree vigor and structure, which leads to more consistent, higher-quality fruit yields.
Tree swings and ziplines offer several key benefits. They provide exercise as users push, glide, pump, and balance, strengthening core muscles and improving coordination.
Time spent moving through the air outdoors also helps reduce stress, with fresh air and sunlight boosting mood and encouraging a sense of presence in nature.
Swings and ziplines naturally draw people together, creating opportunities for family bonding and shared play with friends.
The smooth, rhythmic motion, whether swinging back and forth or riding a line between trees, can be calming and meditative, helping the mind slow down and process. Overall, these features turn yards into active, healthy spaces that support both physical well-being and emotional balance for all ages.
When installed correctly, swings and ziplines can be added without harming the tree. Using proper hardware, load-rated slings, and techniques that avoid girdling or bark damage helps protect the tree’s structure and long-term health.
Start with a professional assessment by an ISA-Certified Arborist to evaluate tree health, structure, and placement. From there, a safe installation plan can be designed using tree-friendly hardware and spacing that protects both the tree and the people using it.
To protect a tree from construction damage, act before construction begins. Establish Root Protection Zones early. This step reduces damage to fine roots, soil compaction, and grade changes.
If you’re planning an addition or remodel near a tree, take precautions in advance. Construction damage can harm your tree, leading to decline and costly removals. Protecting your tree now saves time and money later.
A Root Protection Zone is a designated area around a tree where heavy equipment, digging, and material storage are restricted. It preserves the fine, absorbing roots and soil structure that are critical to the tree’s stability and health.
Preventing damage reduces the risk of future tree decline, hazardous conditions, and costly removals or replacements. Planning for tree protection in advance helps your project move forward while preserving valuable, mature trees.
Lightning protection systems reduce the risk of tree damage from lightning strikes. They provide an alternative path to the ground. Instead of lightning traveling down the tree, a conductor channels it from the top to a safe ground away from the trunk. When properly installed and maintained, these systems effectively prevent serious damage during thunderstorms.
It provides a safe, low-resistance path for lightning to travel from the top of the tree into the ground. This redirects the electrical charge away from the trunk and major roots, reducing the risk of splitting, fire, and internal damage.
The air terminal (rod) and conductors are typically made of copper or copper-clad materials because of their excellent electrical conductivity and durability in outdoor conditions.
No system can eliminate risk entirely, but when properly designed, installed, and grounded, lightning protection systems greatly reduce the likelihood of severe structural damage during thunderstorms.
About 80% of aboveground tree issues stem from underground problems, mainly related to root and soil health. A focused assessment of the root flare and pruning of stem girdling roots can determine a tree’s longevity.
Removing turf and mulching to the drip line promotes 3-5 times more root growth and increases resilience to soil temperature changes, moisture fluctuations, and anaerobic conditions. A healthy root system anchors the tree and absorbs necessary nutrients and water. Compacted soil around the roots, due to heavy foot or wheel traffic, causes stress and leads to problems.
Momentum’s ISA-Certified Arborists use a scientific process to break soil compaction around the root system. Then, they address the issues with nutrient management and tailored mulching. This process includes removing barriers like lawns and applying organic matter to revitalize the tree’s root system.
Our ISA-Certified Arborists assess soil conditions and use targeted treatments such as Oath Soil Life and BioRush+ to restore beneficial microbes, improve nutrient availability, and support strong, active root systems. This scientific approach helps correct underlying soil imbalances that affect tree health.
Healthy soil retains moisture, regulates temperature, and provides essential nutrients, helping trees better withstand drought, heavy rain, or compacted conditions. Our targeted soil treatments and mulching strategies strengthen the root system and increase overall tree resilience.
Airspade work and soil decompaction are essential for tree health. The root flare, where the trunk meets the roots, must remain above soil. Burying it leads to oxygen loss, disease, and instability. The Airspade tool uses air to safely expose roots, ensuring proper planting depth and preventing stunted growth or root girdling.
Mulching retains moisture, regulates temperature, and, when combined with Airspade techniques, boosts nutrient absorption. Soil amendments further improve soil quality, strengthening trees. These methods together enhance tree resilience and support healthier community ecosystems.
An Airspade is a specialized tool that uses compressed air to safely remove soil around tree roots without causing damage. It allows Arborists to expose the root flare, correct buried roots, and prevent issues like stunted growth, root girdling, and instability.
Mulching retains soil moisture, regulates temperature, and suppresses weeds. When applied around the drip line, it also protects roots, supports nutrient uptake, and encourages healthy growth.
