Some of our beautifully maintained trees from Home Depot, Chico Ca.
Just in case you were wondering...this is the anatomy of a tree.
An average American uses about 750 pounds of paper every year, and 95% of homes are built using wood. That means each person uses the equivalent of one 100 foot tall, 16 inch diameter, tree every year for their paper and wood product needs.
About one third of the United States is covered by forests. Pictured is Hot Springs National Park in Arkansas.
Second emergency tree removal this week..this time in Forest Ranch. Having the right equipment and operator along with a great crew enables us to to do removals like this without further damage to your property and we operate 24-7 so give us a call first if you have a tree related emergency.
Some people really like the look of vines growing up trees but should we really let the two mingle? A little can be ok but once the vines reach the canopy they can cause damage to your tree. This tree is fully encased, which is what can happen if left unchecked.
Any one else notice how many more acorns there are this year in Chico? If you're interested in why....here you go: https://www.treehugger.com/why-do-some-oak-trees-produce-more-acorns-4864040

Each year, a number of businesses and residents have shrubs and trees planted for beautification as well as energy efficiency. It's estimated that the shade and wind buffering provided by trees reduces annual heating and cooling costs by 2.1 billion dollars in the U.S. alone.

Been working weekends up in Plumas. If you need any trees taken down before the snow flies let us know. #mcmillan #Quincy #buckslake #plumascounty #trees
Sometimes...it's a one-man show.
Giants of the forest...the Sugar Pine is the largest of all of the pine varieties and can live over 500 years. If you happen to need one of these majestic trees removed on your property, you may consider having us mill it for you on-site as well, the light colored and workable wood is commonly used for making doors, trim, and even piano keys.
When you LOVE working together
Caring for your trees is more important than you might think. Unhealthy or sick trees - particularly those that are rotting from the inside - can unexpectedly fall on power lines, your house, or into a neighbor's yard.
First pops of Fall in Chico
Did you know that a tree stump in the yard can tell a story? Sometimes, it is possible to see the rings in new and old tree stumps which can offer evidence on climate and weather data plus the age of the tree too.
Emergency tree removal Sunday evening. Nothing like getting an early start to the work week! If you have a tree related emergency give us a call. We’ll do everything in our power to get you taken care of!
If you are not sure if there are utility lines in the area where the stump is located, let us know. We can call the local municipality and get that information so they can be flagged allowing us to work safely.
We tend to think of leaf removal as only an activity for the fall, but leaves or tree debris can fall any time of the year if there's enough wind. Fortunately, leaf removal services can come out then, too, and help keep your lawn and garden clean.
The invention of the modern tree stump grinder is generally attributed to the American Gary J. Vermeer, who is noted for his many contributions to the agriculture industry. In 1956, he created the tree stump grinder and saved people from many hours of hard manual labor.
Tree stumps pose a potential hazard to people, especially if the property is open to foot traffic. As such, it would be an excellent idea to remove it completely before someone trips on it and breaks a leg or worse.
Taiga is a specific biome that is made up of coniferous forests. These are also referred to as boreal forests which are made mostly of larches, pines, and spruces. Taiga is the largest terrestrial biome on Earth.

It may seem logical that fallen leaves would be a free source of nutrients for your soil and lawn, and it is true to an extent. However, they also provide a breeding ground and refuge for many insects that can do more harm to your yard than the benefits derived from leached nutrients. Have fallen leaves removed to protect your lawn.
We are so grateful for all of our friends and family far and near. Hoping everyone is enjoying their Thanksgiving!
Trees aren't indestructible. In fact, they can be susceptible to all kinds of wounds. A young tree can be damaged by a weed whacker or even a garden hose, and an inexpertly employed lawnmower is the mortal enemy of a healthy young tree. Tree bark is like skin. Treat it gently.
Did you know that having a dead tree stump on your property could hurt the market value when you list it for sale? Since tree stumps are often the unsightly homes of termite colonies, having us remove the stump could help you sell your home faster.
If you are working on a residential construction project, constantly having to clean and remove leaf debris from work areas can slow the entire project down – especially if you are trying to work with concrete. Our leaf removal service can reduce the amount of cleaning down time.
You might have heard that you can count the rings on a stump to figure out the age of the tree, but did you know that study actually has a name? It's called dendrochronology.
Pruning dead branches is essential to the health of your trees. Dead wood is food for the fungi that rots trees and may grow through the tree's protection boundary when dead branches are plentiful.
There are many benefits to using stump grinding to remove unsightly stumps in your yard. This method is non-invasive to surrounding plants and structures, eliminating over-compacting the soil and the need to rip out unnecessary surrounding areas.
It happens every autumn. Leaves change into a glorious array of colors, yet all those lovely shades are created by only four leaf pigments. Chlorophyll produces green colors, carotenoids produce yellow and orange, anthocyanins produce pink, red and purple, and tannins produce brown tones.
Diseased trees should never be mulched for compost as the disease will easily spread to other trees. If you’re not sure if the wood is healthy, don’t recycle it.
When selling your home, the landscape is just as important as the house itself, and those ugly stumps aren’t doing you any favors. We can get rid of them and make your home look more attractive to potential buyers.
If you have a deteriorating ripe tree that you'd like to save, consult our tree professionals. Do you know that cabling and stalking are some of the methods that can support the tree and prevent it from falling down?
How can trees control climate? A single tree in your yard can lessen the impact of the sun, rain and wind. A tree’s canopy can lower the air temperature in the summer and can lessen the impact of the greenhouse effect by reducing levels of carbon dioxide.
When going away for vacation during the late summer and into fall, letting leaves accumulate on your lawn is a sure sign to thieves that no one is home. Before you head off, arrange with us for regular leaf removal. Do not leave the leaves lying around when you leave.
It might seem more economical to rake your leaves yourself, but consider how much your time is worth, or how much it's worth to spend time with your family. Leaf removal services work quickly to keep costs down and to give you more time to spend how you want to.
Many types of trees can regrow from just the stump, with new shoots growing out of the same root system. This is used by lumber companies to quickly regrow forests, and also by tree farmers to regrow christmas trees or lumber trees.
If you want the job done correctly, let our professionals do the job. Rental equipment for do-it-yourself stump grinding is too weak to perform the task properly. We use industrial grade equipment with engines designed specifically for the job.
Spent the better part of last week up in Butte Meadows mitigating fire dangers on a 2 acre property. While it was lovely living off grid in the woods, it’s nice to be home. If you need help getting your property up to par in preparation for fire season give us a jingle to come out for a free estimate.
We were up in Magalia doing an emergency tree removal in today. Looks like the weather might get pretty severe this week. We’ll be keeping our emergency line on 24-7 to help you out in case you need it. Just give us a call!
