Maintenance and Tree Services.

At Bothell Tree Service, our priority is to ensure your trees are healthy and looking their best. Keeping your trees in top shape is not only for aesthetics, but it prevents accidents from happening and causing damage to your property. In the Seattle area, we get stormy weather, with storm advisories starting every fall season.

​If the tree branches are dried from rot, they can easily snap and fall on a day when we are experiencing high and turbulent storms. In addition to that, the rain will collect on the tree leaves or pine needles, which puts an extra burden on the tree branches. The added weight causes extra strain for branches that are not healthy and strong enough to deal with the adverse conditions.

Trees need preventative care and maintenance during all four seasons of the year. That’s why it’s crucial to have at least annual check-ups. In addition, with heavy rains, the soil can become an unstable environment for large trees and no longer help prevent mudslides if the trunks become unstable.

Trees that are not properly maintained can pose a danger of falling on homes, sheds, and other structures. This can cause considerable risk to all the people and animals on the property, and it can quickly escalate to a severe safety hazard in the winter. Ongoing tree service and maintenance are crucial for protecting your yard and landscaping.

​Although we don’t get a lot of sub-freezing temperatures, the occasional snow, hail, and sleet will continue to damage already weakened trees, and heavy branches can quickly snap from the added weight and cold environment. Our tree services professionals can determine the proper care for your trees and assess the risk of continuing to keep a tree if it’s in bad shape and needs tree cutting. 

​​There are different methods for mitigating the risk if the proper steps are taken, depending on the individual scenario. We may suggest simply pruning the tree and getting rid of old dead branches, but in some cases, cutting down the tree and removing it might be the necessary option.

Tree Trimming and Removal.

Trees that are pruned and trimmed regularly have a longer life expectancy and pose little risk to property damage. Proper tree maintenance such as tree trimming should be performed before it is too late, and one of our professional arborists can assess the health of the trees on your property.
​Some prefer to prune their trees for aesthetic value and fit in with the rest of your landscaping goals. Whatever the reason is, we recommend that you start the process early and budget for doing annual maintenance such as pruning.

In addition to aesthetic value, tree trimming is also beneficial for trees close to the property. When trees are too close to a home, it creates unwanted pests climbing up the branches and creating an easy access path to roofs, windows, and the attic. It is recommended that a tree or large bush not be any closer than six feet from a house, shed, or large building where pests can become a problem.

Additionally, trees with large canopies can limit the light of your property. This is especially important to note if you have a garden, and the lack of extra light can affect the growth of your flowers or produce in spring and summer. In the wintertime, the additional branches can limit the amount of light that gets to your windows, making an already dark winter very tough.
​
If you decide to go down the tree removal path and take it off the property, you should consider replacing it with a large bush or new growth after its removal. It’s essential to maintain the natural habitat of the ecosystem and not cause unwanted disturbances. There are options for lots of native species available at the local home and garden store.

A plan needs to be placed for stump grinding or eradicating the stump when the trees are removed. There is an additional cost for dealing with the stump, but it must be taken care of right away to prevent it from rotting and harboring unwanted insects and pests.

Tree Trimming and Pruning.

 Pruning and tree trimming should be in every gardener’s repertoire as proper maintenance and encourage new growth from your plants, shrubs, and vines. It’s also essential for fruit-bearing trees, larger pines, and deciduous trees. Proper pruning will prolong the life of your plants as the nutrients will be diverted from half-dead branches and leaves to ones that have the potential to flourish and bloom.

In urban areas and properties where the excessive growth leans into an adjacent lot, it’s essential to keep an eye on new growth and keep it under control with proper tree trimming. Trees over cars, garages, and carports can cause unwanted sap and pollen collecting on your vehicles. In the case of a severe storm, it may cause unwanted damage such as cracked windshields or damaged body panels which could cost hundreds of dollars to fix.

Our passion is tree service and care, and our specialized arborists have seen many cases over the years. Our business is proud to help our community and neighborhoods and ensure that everyone stays safe from unwanted damage that falling tree branches can cause. That’s why we provide emergency care as part of our services, and we are ready to take action, regardless of the weather conditions.

We understand that you value your landscaping, but more so, the property and lives of those living on it. Even with ongoing tree care and a properly maintained yard, no one can foresee severe changes in weather patterns or other disasters, and we are here to help!

Tree Care FAQs.

How much should removing a tree cost?

The cost ​of tree removal depends on the size of the tree, the location and condition of it. It can cost anywhere from two hundred and fifty dollars to over two thousand dollars, with the average around seven hundred and fifty dollars. 

How much does it cost to service a tree?

You can expect to pay anywhere between two hundred and fifty dollars to over two thousand dollars for tree removal services. The average cost of removing a tree will be in the seven hundred dollars to seven-hundred-and-fifty-dollar range. Larger trees with harder access will drive up the price of the tree removal. A tree arborist will be able to assess and estimate the cost of doing a full tree removal as well as stump grinding, and cleaning. Tree cutters will usually leave the stump there unless they are hired for additional service to also do stump removal. Ongoing tree care can be an ongoing subscription service that provides monthly or quarterly maintenance for your property. 

Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Bothell?

If you live in a neighborhood with a Homeowners Association, you will most likely need approval from your HOA before any tree services can be performed on the property. If the services are only for a few trees, the city of Bothell does not currently require a permit at this time. If you are a developer and removing lots of trees for land clearing and building, a permit may be required by the city. If the trees being removed are on a slope, prior approval may be required as to protect the area from future landslides. If your property backs up to a greenbelt, we will need to follow the Native Growth Protected Area protocols for removing and disposing the trees as to not disturb the natural habitat of the ecosystem.
