Risks of Not Consulting Licensed Arborists

If you live in Santa Cruz and have a yard with even one tree, it becomes essential to consult a licensed arborist at regular intervals. You are risking your trees, property, and safety by not doing that.

  • Ugly Trees Lower Property Value

    Unmaintained, untrimmed, and unpruned trees can develop into ugly monstrosities which do little to enhance the appearance of your yard. They damage it, instead.

  • Diseased Trees Damage Landscaping

    Trees get infected with illnesses. Without a licensed arborist, it is well-nigh impossible to detect diseases in time; leading to unnecessary removals.

  • Increased Risk of Injuries

    Branches can break off trees and accidentally hit someone. For the average person without training, it’s virtually impossible to detect if a branch poses a risk. Arborists can look out for potentially weak tree limbs and remove them in time.

What We Can Do for You

We provide a range of tree services, right from planting to removal and everything between.

  • Tree Planting to Improve Your House’s Curb Appeal

    We can plan trees that will thrive on your property, improving the appearance of your yard and your home’s curb appeal. Our certified arborist will work with you to determine the best tree species and time for your yard.

  • Regular Maintenance for Sustained Growth

    We perform regular maintenance activities, such as the use of fertilizers, disease detection, and nutrition monitoring to help enable sustained growth.

  • Trimming and Pruning for Your Tree’s Health

    Regular trimming and pruning help sustain your tree in good health. We can remove hazardous limbs, detect and counter diseases and infestations, and assess your tree’s other needs to prolong its life.

  • Emergency Tree Care After to Reduce Damage Risk

    Strong winds and storms can cause entire trees to fall or some branches to hang precariously., jeopardizing your safety. We can remove such unwanted, storm-damaged limbs safely—reducing the risk to your property.

  • Tree Removal to Safeguard Your Family

    We can remove damaged, diseased, and unsafe trees from your property. We are a certified team of arborists who can complete their job efficiently and quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions

After the storm passes, look outside from the safety of your home first. The reason for doing this is that your trees may have tangled with utility lines. If this is something you notice, it is important to call an electricity provider straight away. Once you have established there is no immediate danger, you can look for these problems that may arise.

Let’s be frank: some trees are purely irritating. They may be healthy, but they could merely be a nuisance. This could be because they shed fruit or seeds. It could also be because the wood is weak and, therefore, there is a high chance that it is going to break. Of course, you may need the trees to be removed from your land because you require the area for other purposes.

Sadly, there are sometimes healthy trees that experience simply unavoidable damage. This could be severe weather as well as accidental contact with a vehicle or animal damage. In such a case, you should not only remove the tree. You need to consult experts so that they can assess the situation and help you to make an informed decision. After all, there could be the possibility that the tree may recover.

One of the critical considerations to make when you are looking to choose a tree removal service is the time of year you opt to get your tree removed. Now, if you have a pressing reason to want the tree gone, this is going to impact when you might choose to get in touch with removal experts. However, if you can take a measured approach, the best time to do this would be the winter. In the winter months, the trees are bare, and this makes it easier to remove them more efficiently.

How Does A Tree Removal Service Help You To Save Your Property?
Tree removal services could save your property from serious harm in many ways. Make sure you get in touch with a local tree expert if your tree has become a risk, a hazard, or a severe inconvenience. Here are some ways in which removing a tree can save your property.

At Christianson Tree Experts, we still recommend that you work with a professional to ensure everything is done properly. You’ll need the right power drill, as well as potassium nitrate. Going to try to burn the stump on your own? At a minimum, talk to the local fire department. The last thing you want to do is miss safety precautions that lead to an out-of-control blaze.

We’ve had a lot of tree work done over the past 29 years and I have to say this was a great experience. We’ve had mixed issues with other companies so to have one that shows up on time, gives a reasonable bid, cleans up before finishing, was a relief.
Since the owner is also a certified Arborist, we were able to diagnose and remove a diseased tree that needed immediate removal.
Highly recommend this company.

I recently had tree work done at my home in Ben Lomond. The guys from Christianson were professional and knowledgeable. What I liked most about them is they like trees. They weren’t about to simply chop down trees with their chainsaws, but took the time to assess all the trees and educate me about what would happen to each tree and why. It was also great that every single guy on the crew could speak intelligently and honestly about their work. I’ll definitely be using them again!
Response from the owner:🌳 Hi Carol! 🌳 Thank you so much for your wonderful review! 😊 We're thrilled to hear that you had a great experience with our team in Ben Lomond. Our love for trees is at the heart of everything we do, and it's so important to us to take the time to educate and provide thoughtful care, rather than just cutting trees down. 🌲 We're so glad you appreciated that and the professionalism of our crew! We look forward to working with you again in the future! 🌿🌟 Best regards, The Christianson Tree Experts Team 🌳💪
Can’t say enough great things about this company! Had Edward and his crew come out and remove a few trees and trim some others. Quick scheduling, professional crew, immaculate clean up and reasonable prices! Highly recommend and will definitely be using this company again!
Response from the owner:Thanks for leaving us such a wonderful review! We are excited that you loved your experience.
Edward and his crew recently removed three very large Douglas Fir trees for me... they were professional, well equipped, and did a great job including cleaning up afterward... I highly recommend their services for any tree work needs you might have... They are considered among the best in the area... and their bid was the best of several I obtained...
Response from the owner:It was a pleasure serving you. I really appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback and being so open with us.
I wish I could give 10 stars! Christianson are truly the best. Very responsive and super professional. Watching them work and seeing the trees come down with precision placement is truly amazing. Wish we had called them initially, but now we know and will always use them for any tree issues we have in the future. They're the best!
Response from the owner:Thanks for leaving us such a wonderful review! We are excited that you loved your experience.
