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 can 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

Great people and very professional.

They have a great reputation, so it took awhile to get on the schedule, but it was worth it. These are real, certified arborists and they did beautiful work, with a huge pruning job on a dogwood and a sequoia. They consulted with me about what would be best for the trees' health and what my aesthetic was. They created an open, natural, less crowded balance between two competing large trees and removed a huge, nasty Holly tree. All the cuts were made well, no stumps, no topping. They inspired my confidence with great communication and the quality of the work. They also gave me a nice pile of arborists' chips for mulching my garden.

We were absolutely thrilled by the professionalism, safety, and courtesy that your team exhibited while removing the trees. Outstanding work! Your guys even put up with an audience of our neighbors, as this was apparently the most excitement our street has seen in years. So please tell your crew that we said thank you for doing such great 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!

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!
