We needed emergency tree work after a big storm broke off a HUGE California Pepper Tree branch during a recent multi day storm.
I was able to cut up the huge branch that had already fallen with my own chainsaw.
Unfortunately. the storm damaged tree now had all of its remaining weight leaning in the wrong direction, right towards my neighbors fence and house!
This tree was huge. It was not worth the risk of getting myself hurt or accidentally destroying my neighbors property while trying to save a few bucks.
Also, there was no way in hell my wife would let me climb a tree and try my luck with my own chainsaw.
We called PALMA TREE SERVICE and boy are we glad we did. They were highly recommended to us by our neighbors. Palma Tree Service did amazing work on their 40+ foot tall Coast Live Oak tree in the past.
It's important to mention that there was another bigger storm coming the next day and all of the weight from this tree was gonna topple onto my neighbors fence and property. This would be an expensive disaster.
The owner of Palma Tree Service, Jesus, came out and assessed the huge California pepper tree personally. He showed us that the tree had signs of disease and damage near the trunk as well.
He gave us great options.
Option 1. He could take off as much of the weight of the tree as possible by pruning some of the larger limbs to help mitigate the risk of the tree falling.
Option 2. Or he could remove the tree outright. His suspicion was that the tree was sick and would not be healthy in the future.
Jesus recommended outright removal to avoid property damage, but would honor whatever we choose to do.
We trusted his expertise, and guess what? HOLY SHIT. He was right!
Once cut down, the massive tree revealed widespread rot, disease and discoloration throughout the entire trunk.
The work was done quickly and professionally by the friendly crew at Palma Tree Service. We avoided property damage and ended up with a clear area for my wife to start her new vegetable garden. She's so happy for how this turned into a blessing in disguise.
Plus, we asked Palma Tree Service to stump grind and mulch the entire tree. This was quickly done with heavy duty equipment which created a small mountain of useful wood chips to use on our property.
His prices were totally reasonable considering the rapid response, expertise and high quality work. You almost always get what you pay for.
I learned one thing from watching my own father hire amateurs over the last 50 years... Good work ain't cheap and cheap work ain't good!
