Google +1 is one of the coolest new things out there when it comes to integrating social media into the search results. Well maybe you have never even heard of Google +1 so let me tell you a little bit about it. Basically over the last few years Facebook has begun to take over the world, I am only half kidding here. Social media has a draw to it that is not in other types of internet media. It causes us to want to be on it all day long. People are addicted to social media and Google and other internet media companies have felt the hit. So how can they fix the problem?

One of their strategies is a thing called “Google +1”. Basically this is a little button that is placed on search results or a website. When people push the button it increments by one. In the background though it does some amazing things for you. It lets your friends and family know that this is a site that you think they should check out. Google in their advertising compares it to your Mom leaving you a note on the fridge or a friend giving you a recommendation about a great cookie recipe.

Google +1’s are not emailed to your friends and family, nor are they posted as “status updates”. Instead when your friends and family are searching for things they will see a little icon underneath certain sites with your name recommending it. Google knows who you are when you make a search only if you are signed in to your Google Account.

So what if you site is searched by someone who is not a friend of a person who has +1’ed you. Well then the user will see the icon and the number of +1’s your site has received. This will become a way for people to know how well a site has been liked by people that came before you. It is a ranking system very similar to the “Like” button on Facebook which has become so wildly popular.

Here is where you get the code for your site

If you are trying to create a real web presence you will need to get the little snippet of Google +1 code and put it on your website. If you are using WordPress it is as easy as opening a text widget and putting this code inside the widget. If you have a regular HTML site you just need to put the code inside the body tags on your site, or have your webmaster do it for you. All in all this is a great little addition to the Google world and will help lots of people get more traffic to their sites.

Removing a stump as part of tree removal can be a tedious job, especially if the tree is a vast size with a well established root system. When costing out a tree removal job, the actual tree removal and stump removal are two separate costs. Some tree removal clients sometimes will have a tree taken down flush or near flush with the ground and not remove it any further.

There are several reasons to remove a stump including reclaiming space for another use such as a garden or a structure. Some will remove a tree stump to eliminate a tripping hazard. Some will remove a tree stump just because it is there.

Stump Grinding and the Equipment

One way to remove a stump is to grind it out of the ground. A stump grinder is a piece of tree removal and landscaping equipment. It has a wheel with a sharp edge and teeth that grind the stump and the roots into small wood chips. The depth of the roots that are removed will depend on the diameter of the wheel. There are stump removers that are the size of a lawn mower and others the size of a compact car.

Stump removal is made easier with the equipment available today. Stump grinding is often offered as part of a tree removal service, but it has become a business unto itself, as well. There are portable stump grinders available at equipment rental centers that can make stump grinding cost effective for anyone that has more than two stumps to be removed.

The stump grinder operator has to take safety precautions while operating the machine. The operator should wear a hard hat, as well as safety goggles, hearing protection, proper footwear and work gloves. If the operator is using the stump grinder for the first time, it can be a learning process by trial and error, but it is wise to get some instruction from an experienced user.

After the stump has been removed, rake the chips away and fill the hole with loam or clean fill and plant grass or prepare the area for some other use.

1. Prune your tree on a Regular Basis:                                                                                                                                                                                 Pruning a tree regularly is like getting a health check up once a year. If there is anything out of whack a plan of fix can be put in place and remedy the negatives. The same is for a tree and regular pruning. Pruning should include the removal of weak and dead tree limbs. Light pruning and removing dead limbs can be done anytime but pruning to reduce height or canopy spread should be done according to prescribed time frames.

Typically, trees are pruned during the dormant season. That is when the tree is literally asleep. Pruning and trimming a tree during that time will minimize the sap flow and the attraction of disease carrying bugs.

2. Add Mulch ring to the base of the tree:                                                                                                                                          Adding a mulch ring to the base of the tree insulates the soil to provide a buffer from hot and cold temperatures. Mulch will also retain water and keep the roots moist. A mulch ring around the tree will prevent the tree from getting hit with the lawn mower.

3. Provide Hydration to your Tree:                                                                                                                                                              Newly planted trees should be watered immediately after planting. Trees should be watered regularly for the first two growing seasons, especially in drought conditions. It is during the first two growing seasons the tree establishes its root system. Soaking the area around the tree for a few minutes every other day in non rainy weather will keep the roots and soil moist. Beginning with the third growing season, watering is not as critical, especially if there is a mulch layer around the tree that holds water.

4. Prepare your trees for Winter in Peachtree City, GA.: If you live in an area where it snows or gets excessively cold, it will help your tree if it is prepared for winter. Before it gets to cold and water freezes, water your trees well. That will give your tree enough root and soil moisture during its dormant period. If you have mulch around your tree, put in fresh mulch if the existing mulch has been in place for more than 6 months.

Check branches for deficiencies such as cracks and breaks. Remove those branches as they will most likely break during a heavy snow storm or high winds. Thinning the branches in the tree every few years will let the wind to whip through the tree and not take branches with it.
