"From setting up the consultation with Anastasia, and having Hugo come and do the preliminary estimate - we knew they were the type of company we wanted to do business with. A local business that is family owned, and they LOVE trees! Family history of arborists, their knowledge is supreme! They were patient with all of my questions, concerns, and lack of any expertise. They fully explained their estimate, and what the best course of action was for the trees on our property. The day of the work, they knew exactly what needed to be done. I wouldn't even have known they were there - respectful of our time, our property, and the wild critters we have! Our property was left even better than when they came. We are excited to see the spring bloom, and have them back for additional trimming, and landscape work on our pond and firepit area."

Providing wildlife removal services as well as general pest control services. Specializing in animal removal from structures. Chimney capping services as well as custom animal guard installation. Sanitation and restoration services also available.

"As the director of a non-profit organization in a small town, I know how unusual it is to find such a capable, knowledgeable, courteous, and prompt technician to come and help with unwelcome “visitors” to your property. We could not have asked for a better experience in dealing with an ant invasion, along with skunks and racoons burrowing under our buildings. Gerrod was always pleasant to deal with and diligent to explain the procedures and costs involved. He responded quickly and took care of our problems in a most timely manner. His wealth of knowledge and professionalism set him apart from others I have dealt with. I highly recommend When Nature Calls Pest Control and will not hesitate to contact Gerrod again if needed."

140-acre retail nursery, 10-acre retail garden center, award winning landscape design & construction. Additional email - [email protected], [email protected]

"We had a comprehensive landscape plan completed by Meagan at Wasco last year and have had trees and other landscaping installed by them for the past two years. Meagan was great to work with and did a great job of listening to us and helping us budget the project. Our home had almost zero landscaping (not even mulch beds) when we moved in. The plant materials that Wasco installed or that we have purchased from them and installed ourselves seem to be of high quality so far. We had a few hiccups with one installation, but they fixed it ASAP, and have always been responsive to questions. Workers who come to the home are excellent."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

It may be possible, but transplanting a large, mature tree can be a tricky project, and some trees handle it better than others. If you have a tree you need to save and are considering transplanting it elsewhere, we highly suggest calling a tree removal service and arranging a consultation to see what they say (and how much a full transplant would cost).

Generally, no, tree topping isn’t a good technique, and you should avoid using it in most cases. Tree topping may be the only good option to save a tree following severe damage after a storm, but in most other cases, it’s not the right choice. Tree topping can leave trees vulnerable to disease and further damage, and most pros will suggest against it.

Some signs that a tree needs to be cut down and removed include:

  • There’s visible damage to the trunk or branches.

  • The tree is leaning significantly.

  • It’s growing too close to a house, power lines, or other structures.

  • The tree has a pest infestation.

It depends. Smaller, younger trees take longer to mature, but they're more resilient, their roots don't get as damaged during transplanting, and they recover faster. Plus, they're much more affordable to plant, and it's possible to DIY the planting. 

On the other hand, mature trees produce fruit faster and provide more shade and privacy immediately. Ideally, a small or medium tree is the better choice if you can wait a few years for it to mature. But if you need immediate maturity, a larger tree is the only option.

It’s usually best to transplant a tree when it’s dormant. For some, the best option is transplanting during fall after the leaves have fallen—October or November. In other cases, it’s best to transplant before new growth begins in the spring, often around March. But avoid transplanting during winter because the soil is harder and colder, and the tree won’t have the same chance to acclimate.
