Arbor Care of Tahoe

Wishing everyone a fun and safe Halloween!

Fun Fall Fact The reason aspen leaves change, like the leaves of any deciduous tree, is because of a decrease in photosynthetic activity as the days get shorter in the fall. The gold and yellow colors we see in autumn are always there; in the fall, they simply are revealed when the green hues from chlorophyll production fade.

Arbor Care of Tahoe just did some defensible space work on our property including removing some dead trees, dealing with the bushes, and chopping off tree limbs too close to the house. They are helping me arrange to get an adjacent Conservancy lot cleaned up as well. Great communication, fast, and a very thoughtful job. I recommend them. Aaron Gaines #thankyouforthereview

Another Day... Another Tree! Throwback to this Crane Job done last month in Homewood!

Arbor Care of Tahoe is pretty excited to introduce their NEW 2020 Bandit 250XP Brush Chipper to the fleet. Thanks Bandit Industries & Cal-Line Equipment... It’s already getting some excellent use by our crew!

FUN FACT FRIDAY Aspens sacrifice their leaves in the winter in order to preserve their resources. It takes less energy to grow new leaves in the spring than to keep their wide, flat leaves alive all winter!

Flashing back to some last season arbor action! #flashbackfriday

SNOW DAY FUN FACT: The needle-shaped leaves of the pine tree help the snow slide off from the leaves which helps prevent the branches from breaking off due to the heavy weight of snow that accumulates during a snowfall.

It may be a little wet at lake level, but our TREES are soaking it all up! Evergreen trees lose water through their needles in the dry winter air, so they need more stored-up water going into the winter season to make up for it. #arborcareoftahoe #arborcare #tahoecity #laketahoe #treefacts #rain #evergreen #trees #water #arborists #winter #tahoe #arborist #pine #northlaketahoe #treecare #funfact

First day of FALL fun facts! DID YOU KNOW?! Groups of Aspen trees are considered a singular organism with the main life force underground in its extensive root system. Before a single Aspen trunk appears above the surface, the root system may lie dormant for YEARS until the conditions are just right! #arborcareoftahoe #arborcare #tahoecity #laketahoe #fall #autumn #aspentrees #funfact #firstdayoffall #happyfall #arborist #treefacts #paigemeadows #northlaketahoe
