Tad Jacobs founded Treemasters in 1987 with three very simple principles: Honesty, Integrity, and Craftsmanship. Even after over 35 years, those principles continue to be our pledge to our clients. Our mission is to:
Treat our fellow tree care providers with respect, always helping them to deliver and promote high-quality and environmentally conscious tree care to all of their clients.
Above all, we as a team recognize that our most important goal is to provide great care and attention to the one tree we are working on at that moment.
No, it is not safe to remove a tree without the right training and qualifications. Though it may seem simple enough to chop it down, mistakes could jeopardize your health or property. Nothing’s worse than accidentally sending a wayside branch down onto your home or building. A certified arborist will know how to quickly and safely remove your tree without disrupting the rest of your property.
Treemasters offers tree removal services at any time of year. High-risk trees are a sensitive issue that need to be addressed quickly, especially here in Marin County where it’s common to get lots of heavy wind. That said, if your tree removal project is purely for aesthetic reasons, it may be easiest to schedule a service in the spring or summer when the weather is clear.
Yes, our certified arborists offer emergency tree removal services. We understand that sometimes, an unhealthy tree needs to be taken care of immediately. That’s why we offer fast removal along with other emergency tree services, such as storm or broken branch cleanup. Whatever you need, we’ve got you covered!
If it is possible to rehabilitate the health of your tree, then it may be possible to explore treatment options outside of removal. However, that depends largely on just how damaged your tree is. After carefully inspecting your tree, we can discuss different options with you to find the right solution for your situation.
Tree trimming can be a challenging and potentially dangerous task, which is why you should leave pruning to the professionals.
In the modern age of internet access, so many skills are available for those of us with extra time to learn. While it may seem cost effective, we strongly caution against pruning a tree yourself. Our arborists are expertly trained in the safety requirements for, and equipped with, the most environmentally safe tools for the job.
Specialized equipment, such as chainsaws, for pruning should be left to a professional arborist. Improper use can not only cause bodily injury, but you may unwittingly damage your tree, or worse kill it.
Overgrown trees can be a hazard. Long, heavy branches are more susceptible to breaking during storms and other harsh weather conditions. These breaking branches can put you and your property at risk of injury. Dense trees can produce prime areas for pests and diseases. Keeping your tree healthy and safe with regular pruning is recommended by Treemasters for many reasons.
The presence of dead, damaged, or diseased limps poses a hazard to you and your property. These limbs need to be removed immediately. Cutting too many branches can weaken a tree leaving it more susceptible to infestation and disease, stunting its growth, and leading to long-term health issues it may never recover from. Trusting an expert means never worrying if the wrong – or too many -branches have been removed.
Topping is the trend of chopping off the highest portions of new limb growth back to larger branches; usually in order to reduce the size of the tree. Many people believe that by reducing the height of a tree by topping, they are reducing the hazard to their property, when in fact they are creating a larger hazard. Topping can reduce foliage needed by the tree to produce food, causing the tree to weaken and become more susceptible to pests and disease, potentially leading to limb failure and tree death. Topping is not an acceptable method of tree pruning, and is not recommended.
Many people use “tree pruning” and “tree trimming” interchangeably, but there is a difference. While both are essential practices for good tree health, tree trimming and tree pruning serve different purposes.
Tree pruning is undertaken for a tree’s health. It requires a good deal of planning and precision as our goal is to remove branches selectively in order to improve the tree’s overall structure and encourage vitality. We consider factors like sunlight and air circulation and how these might affect the tree’s long-term growth.
Tree trimming is often undertaken for safety or aesthetics. Overgrown tree branches that encroach on structures or powerlines are a safety hazard. Similarly, unkempt trees can be unsightly and clash with your landscaping. Tree trimming usually involves cutting away branches that are growing in undesirable directions. It’s less invasive than tree pruning, and a bigger part of routine tree maintenance.
The experts at Treemasters have been caring for the trees in our community for over 35 years, dedicated to integrity and environmental responsibility. Our arborists are I.S.A. certified and the first of our kind to receive Green Certification.
While it is technically possible to remove a tree stump on your own, doing so can be a difficult and time-consuming task, especially if you don’t have access to the right equipment. Manual digging and chopping is labor-intensive, and chemical treatments or burning could lead to damage or may not fully remove the stump. For the fastest and most reliable results, it’s best to get professional tree stump grinding services.
Stump grinding works by using a powerful, rotating blade to cut the wood into much smaller pieces. The grinding equipment can even access some below-ground roots, which will help fully remove the unwanted stump in a fast and effective manner.
On your own, tree stump removal can be a long process. However, an expert with the right tools and experience can remove a stump in anywhere from 15 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the size and location of the stump.
Trees can sometimes regrow from a leftover stump, but stump grinding makes it unlikely. In addition to removing the above-ground wood, grinding helps remove a portion of the root system to minimize the possibility of regrowth later on.
Professional stump removal will not damage your property. An expert will take precautions to avoid disrupting the rest of your yard or landscape, such as using protective barriers and cleaning up any dust or debris.
Certified arborists are tree care experts backed by years of training and experience. They specialize in every aspect of tree and plant maintenance, and they can provide services such as planting, pruning, disease treatment, and pest management. Arborists can also assist with more complicated situations, such as trimming back branches that are getting too close to power lines.
If you have trees on your property, then you should work with an arborist to ensure your landscape is always healthy, attractive, and safe. Tree problems are more than just eyesores; they could also pose a serious risk to any person or structure on your property. Fallen branches, uprooted trunks, and tangled electrical wires are just a few examples of hazards that an arborist can help you avoid.
