A little change of pace for the crew the other day 😂 This little kitty had been stuck in a tree for two days and needed some help getting back down. We’re happy we could help get this little one safely back to its family. 🐱🌲

FIRST RAIN OF THE SEASON: WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW

We’re getting our first rain of the season, and after months of hot, dry weather, it’s a good time to pay a little extra attention to the trees around your property.

As soil takes on moisture, conditions around a tree’s root system begin to change. As soils become wetter, they can provide less stability for roots, especially in trees that already have root damage, decay, restricted root systems, or other structural concerns.

The photos here are a real example of a tree failure involving the root system and wet soil. While today’s rain is nothing extreme, it’s a good reminder of what to watch for as we head into wetter weather.

A few things to keep an eye on:

• A tree developing a new or increased lean
• Soil lifting, cracking, or heaving around the base
• Exposed or damaged roots
• Hanging, cracked, or broken limbs
• Large dead limbs in the canopy
• Any sudden change in a tree that wasn’t there before

Rain doesn’t necessarily make a healthy tree unsafe, but changing conditions can expose problems that were already developing.

Noticing something concerning? Estimates are free and easy to schedule. Give our office a call at (530) 232-8399 or schedule online:

Enjoy the first rain! 🌧️

Just a little Tuesday entertainment. 🌳😂 I asked the crew for their walk out songs... let's just say the final cut wasn't exactly what they had in mind. They haven't seen it yet... 🤫

A little birthday shoutout to the man who keeps this whole circus running. 😂

We couldn’t find a birthday telegram, so naturally we made our own… blow up costume and all.

Happy Birthday Mike Bertell! Thanks for always putting up with our chaos and being such a good sport. We hope you had the best birthday!

🌳 Testimonial Tuesday

Nothing means more to us than hearing about our customers' experience from start to finish.

This review is a great reminder that exceptional tree care is about more than just the work itself. It's about clear communication, knowledgeable recommendations, and a team that makes the entire process easy.

🍂 Preparing Your Trees for Fall

As summer comes to an end, your trees are preparing for a new season too.

Fall is a great time to evaluate your trees for dead or hazardous limbs, address structural concerns, and consider tree health treatments that help protect against insects, disease, and seasonal stress before winter arrives.

If tree work is on your to-do list before the weather changes, now is the perfect time to start planning. Our estimates are valid for 6 months, and we're currently scheduling into October, so scheduling your estimate now gives you plenty of time to make the decision that's right for your property.

Whether you're looking for:

We're here to help.

In case you didn’t know… we really do just about EVERYTHING around here 😂

Tree trimming and removals are only part of what the A-1 family does. Our Vegetation Management team handles plant health too, including issues like powdery mildew.

So if it grows and it’s giving you problems… there’s a pretty good chance we can help.

🌿 What We're Seeing Right Now | Powdery Mildew

Have you noticed a white, powdery coating on your crape myrtle, roses, or other ornamental plants?

This is often powdery mildew, a common fungal disease we see in late summer as warm days and cooler, more humid nights create ideal conditions for it to develop.

Left untreated, powdery mildew can weaken plants and carry over into the next growing season. Treating it now helps reduce its impact and gives your plants a healthier start next spring.

If you've noticed something in your landscape that doesn't look quite right, we're always happy to take a look and recommend the right solution.

Meanwhile, over at Forestry… 😂

A look at today's emergency removal.

This morning our crew responded to a tree that unexpectedly fell onto a vehicle and well house.

Tree failures don't always come with obvious warning signs. Hidden decay, root problems, and structural defects can all lead to unexpected failures.

If something about a tree doesn't look or feel right, it's worth having it inspected. We're always happy to take a look and help you understand what you're seeing before it turns into an emergency.
