Customers say: True professional

"Danne and Corey were personable, excellent professionals during the entire process, from the estimate to completing the service. Danne came by on a Saturday morning, did his inspection of the trees to be removed and stump grounded, provided a verbal quote, which Corey sent over the formal quote shortly thereafter. After reviewing the several quotes with my partner, we decided on ExTREEme Tree Experts for the reasonable price and thorough communication on the details and overall process. We had about 8 trees and several bushes on a 30° slope, with 2 of the trees over 40ft. Day 1, they set up their wood chipper and began clearing the trees one by one. By the 2nd day, there were 2 trees left, which Danne handled swiftly and began grinding down the stumps. It was a huge undertaking, but Danne and his team did an excellent job clearing all the trees and bushes, although it did take an additional morning to get the remaining stumps. There were a couple stumps left ungrounded, as their location made them inaccessible with the grinder they had, which Danne explained and reduced the price for the service. I've already recommended them to family members who need their services and would definitely hire them again if we ever move to another place with trees that need removal."

"It went great! The crew showed up right on time, spent nearly 3 hours trimming the tree (it is huge!) and cleaned up everything when done. Very professional and thorough. Highly recommend them!"

Small jobs welcome

"I found Amaya Handyman & Remodel LLC through Angi, as a highly rated business. I contacted the company by email on Tuesday, describing the two small jobs: Install a dog door in an exterior wall, and install a protected outdoor electrical outlet. I was contacted same day, and thrilled they could come the next day (a Wednesday) to view the jobs, and then send me an estimate in 24 hours. I accepted the very reasonable quote and Felipe (owner) and Jonathon were able arrange their schedule to arrive on Friday. One worked on the dog door, one worked on the electrical outlet. Both were kind of tricky due to the house layout. The team was neat, efficient, thorough, and cleaned up after themselves. They started work within 10 minutes of arriving, completed and tested their work, cleaned up completely and were gone in about 3 hours. Not just efficient and competent, but very nice guys. I've already requested a quote on another pesky job that has been left undone for quite awhile."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Trees should be pruned every two to five years, depending on its age and type. Young trees should be inspected and pruned every two to three years. Mature trees should be inspected and trimmed every three to five years, and fruit trees should be pruned annually with a careful eye on seasonal growth. Evergreens typically don’t need pruning, unless branches or limbs are damaged, diseased, or harboring pests.

Rock salt or Epsom salt can damage and kill tree roots over several weeks and can even assist in removing the tree's stump. However, you need to drill holes or cut into the stump and surface tree roots to inject them properly with the salt. Repeat the process every two weeks until the roots visibly rot away.

Ideally, you should wait to prune until trees have gone dormant in late fall to early winter. The worst times to prune trees are early fall and late summer, as pruning them so close to dormancy makes it difficult for the tree recover before it goes dormant for the season.

Yes, it’s possible to overwater a newly-planted tree. Daily watering is great for the first few weeks, but it’s important not to go overboard. Excessive watering can lead to various problems, including root rot, fungal diseases, and a lack of root development.

A grafted tree is a tree grown by combining two trees. It takes expertise. Branches from grafted trees don’t grow strong roots. Save yourself the time and frustration by having an arborist help you with this advanced project.  

You can often tell if a tree is grafted because it will have a noticeable line. Above the line, the bark will look different than it does below the line. It’s most common with fruit trees.
