Continuing with Best Practices
Mechanical Support. Mechanical support for trees may be necessary when the tree is tall, slow to recover, heavily foliaged, or planted in a sandy site. Most small trees do not require staking or other support and will develop strong trunks faster if allowed to move freely with the wind. For trees that do require mechanical support, staking may be used. Two stakes can be placed opposite of each other and the tree anchored to the stakes with a non abrasive material, such as a soft, broad, fabric strap. Any support provided to a tree should be removed as soon as the tree can stand alone, usually after the first growing season. The sooner the support is removed, the faster the tree will become stronger.
Mechanical Support
The decision on which trees to preserve and which trees to remove should be based on tree evaluation.

2. Have Top Tree LLC in West Richland evaluate tree health and risk for failure before removing.
3. We Use only experienced, certified professionals to remove trees.
4. Evaluate trees at risk for failure using ISA approved methods, which include the assessment of the probability of failure, the size of the part that may fail, and the targets that may be affected should the tree fail.
