Ray Bowman, owner of Rayzor Edge Tree Service, emphasizes the importance of early tree care awareness, highlighting treatable issues often overlooked by homeowners and the need for informed assessments to preserve trees and avoid unnecessary removals.

A significant issue Bowman identifies is the delay in homeowners’ recognition of tree health problems. He cites needle cast in spruce trees as an example – a treatable condition that often goes unnoticed until it’s too late for recovery.

He urges homeowners to seek professional advice at early signs of tree distress, highlighting that Rayzor Edge offers free quotes to facilitate this process.

“I have often encountered situations where trees suffer from long-term, untreated issues, such as specific fungal infections,” said Bowman.

“In many cases, these problems were overlooked or misdiagnosed by previous tree service providers, leading to unnecessary tree removals or further damage.”

Bowman aims to change this narrative by providing accurate, informed assessments and solutions.

Demystifying tree care and removal

The process of tree care and removal, as explained by Bowman, revolves around addressing misconceptions and ensuring that homeowners understand their options. He notes that many clients, influenced by misinformation, often consider tree removal the only solution, even when pruning and appropriate care would suffice.

“Rayzor Edge aims to present alternatives that are both cost-effective and conducive to the tree’s health,” he noted.

To aid homeowners, Bowman lists several signs to watch for, such as browning needles in spruce trees indicating needle cast and the thinning of the tree’s appearance. He also advises monitoring for dead limbs and holes in the trunk, which can be indicative of deeper health issues or structural instability.

Hire a trained and knowledgeable team

Regarding his team’s expertise, Bowman proudly mentions their training from Humber College’s arborist course. This education ensures that his crew is up-to-date with the latest tree care practices. While credentials are essential, Bowman acknowledges that the real proof of expertise lies in the quality of service and adherence to best practices in the field.
