Aside from our vast Nursery of seeds, seedlings, saplings & big trees for Forest, Fruit and Ornamental trees and our technical expertise for the past 29 years, we wish to offer our services for the planting, balling, cutting, uprooting, and pruning/trimming of trees including tree surgery. Our services can be availed under the following terms and conditions:

• Work specifications to be undertaken by MSBFI are as follows:

  1. Balling

     • Trimming of all secondary branches including the leaves to avoid excessive evaporation that may dehydrate and kill the tree while it is being balled and transferred to specified location.

     • Digging around the stem of each tree including the trimming of its lateral roots.

     • Wrapping the balled stem with empty sacks to prevent the soil from falling while it is being transferred to a specified location to ensure survival, and ..

     • Lifting of balled tree from the hole manually or with the use of equipment.

  2. Tree and Stump Removal (Cutting & Uprooting)

     • The remaining stump shall be uprooted and cover the spot with soil.

  3. Pruning, Trimming and Topping

     • Trimming or pruning of forked and secondary branches to attain the following objectives:

       • To improve the symmetry and balancing of the branches of the tree on all sides.

       • Reduce density of the crown to minimize overlap with nearby trees and over shading of surroundings.

       • To eliminate overhead and lateral obstructions affecting nearby buildings and structures and residential buildings.
