Trimming & Deadwooding The predominant tree in the area, the Ponderosa Pine, often loses its bottom branches as it grows. This looks unsightly and also reduces tree vigor, inviting insects and disease. Trimming off the dead and dying branches - deadwooding - helps the tree resist these problems and makes your property more attractive. Another important benefit of deadwooding is that it helps decrease the danger of forest fires. We can give you a per-tree price on this service. Consultations At Lam Tree Service we have three ISA (International Society of Arboriculture) Certified Arborists on staff. If you have a tree problem of any kind we are available to provide an expert diagnosis. Even if there is no current problem, it is often wise to have your property checked by a certified arborist. This can educate you about your trees and prevent any future problems. Free Mulch We always offer free mulch. This mulch is the by-product of the tree branches we remove, and has many uses. We generally look for delivery sites within a few miles of our shop in North Evergreen, but will deliver to outlying areas if we are working in the area. We also deliver higher quality mulch for $10 per yard. This is mulch more suitable for formal landscapes. Call early in the spring to get on either list. |
Tree Removals Difficult tree removals are our specialty. We can safely remove trees near houses and power lines. We can cut up the wood for firewood and leave it for you or haul it off. Branches can be chipped into mulch and left for your use or can be hauled off. There are many reasons to remove trees. The trees may be diseased or maybe the trees are crowding each other. Trees sometimes need to be removed for a construction project or just to let in additional sunlight. Whatever the reason, just call for a free estimate.
A very common problem in the Evergreen area is soil compaction in the root zones of trees. With all the new construction going on, we at Lam Tree Service are constantly presented with the problem of trying to save trees which have been abused by graders, bulldozers, or just vehicle and foot traffic. When the soil above the root zone of a tree becomes compacted, water and oxygen are no longer able to get to the feeder roots in sufficient quantities. To correct this situation, we perform a service called "vertical mulching". this procedure entails drilling holes approximately 12" - 18" deep and 2" to 3" wide in a grid pattern throughout the root zone of the tree. We then backfill the holes with a porous material such as pea gravel to promote aeration of the root zone. Sometimes we will add fertilizer to the gravel if it is appropriate. We have seen excellent results so far. The key is not letting too much time pass with compacted conditions. If you have recently built a home in the area, vertical mulching may be something for you to consider. |
