Tree & Shrub Spraying
Our tree and shrub spraying services help control insect and fungus infestations on your trees and shrubs. We utilize industrial-power sprayers and our spray operators are WA State Licensed. We offer an "automatic" program: timed to apply the sprays at the optimal time of each season so you don't have to worry about remembering when to call! The standard program includes 5-6 applications per year, depending on the weather. You can opt in for the whole program or pick and choose the sprays most important to your landscaping and pocketbook! We are happy to help choose which program will work best for you.

Organic Spraying
This option is an ever-evolving program! We use organic materials and continue to explore options to find the most effective non-chemical agents.

Tree Injections
For many non-fruit-bearing trees, we can offer injections to protect them against sucking insects like aphids.

Deep Root Feeding
Your trees can benefit from fertilization, too! We inject fertilizers into the root zone of trees to help them stay healthy and resistant to insects and disease.

Tent Caterpillars
We provide control for this seasonal pest! There's no approved material we can apply to prevent their emergence, but we can help when they emerge from their tents. Learn more

Darrel Emel's Tree Service has always done a great job. This is our second tree to be cut down and the stump ground out. They have always done a really good job - cleaned up very well - and the tree hasn't grown back! They definitely know what they are doing!! It's definitely worth the cost to have this done very professionally - and they take every precaution to protect our property while they are doing this work. They are worth paying to have this done!

I want to tell you how satisfied we are with the work your men did for us after 2 days of first class work. I haven't seen such diligent, capable, and courteous workers for a long time, especially the fellow who leads the crew. It's nice to see there are still some around. I am reminded that these things don't just happen. Somebody found the right guys, trained them well, and treats them generously, as they deserve. I suspect that somebody is you. So the congratulations go to you as well. Keep up the good work!

Wow, these people are experts at tree trimming. I had them come out to cut back a big fir tree that was in contact with my roof and the side of the house. They cut the tree back expertly, had me out to inspect the job and left the site cleaner than when they started. Will be using them again soon!

I want to share a Thank You and Appreciation to Jackie, Rick, Patrick and Spencer and for Darrel Emel's Tree Service, while once again, providing a 5 Star customer service and satisfaction. I think Jackie felt my apprehension and fear on the telephone regarding a leaning Hemlock in the back yard that could do some collateral damage whereas she was able to have Rick come out the next day to look at the situation and provide an estimate whereas he was able to arrange a crew to come out the next morning in part to the situation and my concern. The following morning, Patrick and Spencer, in the most professional and courteous manner, had the tree cut down and hauled away in chips with a cleanup second to none. Thank You, once again, Jackie, Rick, Patrick and Spencer for your outstanding customer service and satisfaction as Darrel Emel's Tree Service is the BEST!!
