#tree trimmer san diego

[beardedmrbean]

A 39-year-old tree trimmer died in Bonita after an accident trapped him on a palm tree, California firefighters told news outlets.

Rescue crews responded to the front yard of a home at 11:30 a.m. Monday, Feb. 13, the Times of San Diego reported.

Palm fronds had collapsed onto the trimmer as he worked, trapping him, KFMB reported. Other workers were trying to free the man, who was pinned about 50 feet up the tree.

It took rescuers 35 minutes to free the man and lower him to the ground, where he was pronounced dead, KSWB reported.

“We have seen this in the past with these palm fronds falling on these tree trimmers and it is something that is relatively unique to certain types of palm trees,” Chula Vista Battalion Chief Tim Mehrer told KNSD.

The San Diego County Medical Examiner’s Office identified him as Bardomiano Bautista-Perez, KSWB reported.

The father of four from Escondido had been hired by a friend as part of a four-person team, his family told KGTV. The team was on its second job of the day when the accident took place.

“We can’t believe it,” sister-in-law Rosario Martinez told the station. “You can’t describe it in words.”

His daughter told KGTV she hopes to make Bautista’s dream of a family-owned tree-trimming business come true despite his death.

Bonita has a population of about 13,000 people and is about 10 miles southeast of San Diego.

The Relevance of Employing a Professional Tree Cutting Provider

You may not know this yet, but there's a significant demand for professional tree-cutting solutions. A lot of property owners keep trees around their homes.

The Dangers Presented by these Trees

These trees have a mind of their very own. You can not quit them from expanding their branches or extending their origins. Here are some risks that can emerge from these circumstances:

These branches can fall on you or a loved one. They can also fall on your vehicle or your house, triggering damage while doing so.

The roots of these trees can in fact damage the structure of your residence. While these origins grow at a snail's speed, they can push your home's structure around. At the very least, they can damage your prized garden.

These trees can connect to low-lying wires. Some locations still have cords installed above the ground. A wayward branch can easily damage these cords which consequently can produce dangerous triggers and/or annoying deduction of service.

What Should Homeowners Do?

The house owners should guarantee that their trees do not present any kind of danger to life, limb as well as property. It goes without saying, the house owners ought to make sure that weak as well as rotten branches are taken down before they fall down on their very own. They must additionally make certain that the trees are trimmed before they reach the wires. They need to also ensure that the trees are not gradually yet surely damaging the structure of their home and the residences of their neighbors.

No, it's not an excellent idea to do them yourself. Call a specialist tree reducing provider.

Why Call an Expert?

Right here are reasons you must work with a professional tree cutting provider:

They have actually the tools needed.

Sure, you can have a tree pruner. Besides, there are tasks that you would not be able to do like reducing down a destructive tree.

They have the skills and also the knowledge.

On the other hand, a specialist tree reducing solution carrier has actually been doing it regularly for a really long time currently. They have staff members that are trained to manage all your tree reducing needs.

They value safety and security.

Certain, you can possibly cut off your tree with a machete. The question is, can you do it securely? A lot of property owners do not worth safety and security because they're not aware of the possible threats of doing the cutting themselves. These experts have actually been revealed to these risks before and also they have actually seen the threats themselves. This is why they're going to do whatever is required to ensure their safety and also the safety and security of the people around them.

They can prevent more damages.

You can cause more damage if you do things the wrong way. A good expert has a well-defined process that he follows to make certain that no more damages are triggered. At the very least, he'll see to it that absolutely nothing will be damaged by the fallen branches.

With these factors, it's currently apparent why you must employ a specialist tree reducing provider. There's truly no reason why you must do it on your own. Have it dealt with by a specialist.

And while we’re at it, let’s retire the outmoded idea that the most important factor in a city’s cultural landscape is the presence of some white knight bearing a checkbook and grandiose ideas about turning bulldozed Los Angeles neighborhoods into the Champs-Élysées (as Broad once described his vision for Bunker Hill).

LACMA draws an annual subsidy from L.A. County taxpayers of about $25 million — an amount that represents a quarter to a fifth of its annual budget. In Michigan, a $15 annual tax on residential properties valued at $150,000 in three counties goes toward funding the Detroit Institute of the Arts. In Colorado, a tiny portion of the sales tax (1 cent on every $10 in sales and use tax) is set aside to fund cultural and scientific institutions in a seven-county tax district around Denver.

My colleague Matt Pearce is known for spending July 4 tweeting photos of flaming palm trees with phrases like “DEATH TO PALM TREES. GOD BLESS AMERICA.” But in a new essay, he argues that perhaps it’s time to retire the palm tree as a symbol of Los Angeles. “Palm trees,” he writes, “when they are not being symbols, are kind of a problem to live with.” Besides functioning as July 4 kindling, the trees provide zero shade, fronds can strike passersby when they tumble, and worst yet, kill tree trimmers in some truly heinous work accidents.

How to do a bikini wax at home?

With salons and spas are shut down, our beauty regimes have taken a seriously wild turn. Now, you don’t have the luxury of visiting due to the lockdown restrictions.

For women, one of the biggest concerns is the bikini area. To keep the nether regions hair-free and smooth is what everybody wants. It feels good not to have wanted hair in the bikini lines.

If you have often opted for a salon visit for a bikini wax in San Diego, California, Boston, or wherever you are located, then you must be noticing the big difference. You must be feeling uncomfortable with the unwanted hair growth in your nether regions.

Well, there’s always a solution to any problem. You can have your bikini areas waxed right at home. All you need is some tips and tricks on how to conduct the procedure. And this idea should do the trick. Although you won’t be able to do as good as a professional, you can at least keep the targeted areas hair-free for some time. And when the world gets back to a normal condition, you can head out to your favorite salon or spa to have your bikini lines waxed.

Now, without much further ado, let’s get to the fun part.

Professionals use a special kind of wax that apparently makes the procedure a lot more painless. Unfortunately, not everyone has access to this type of wax, especially at home. For the time being, make the procedure work with the waxing product you have with you.

The technique

The waxing procedure is generally designed to maximize the amount of hair pulled out while reducing the level of pain. However, the procedure should be conducted correctly to experience the optimal result.

·         When applying the wax, apply carefully and in the right direction i.e. the direction of hair growth.

·         When removing the wax, remove the wax against the direction.  This trick will give you effective results because this method removes the hair from the root.

·         If you apply the wax in the wrong direction and remove it in the wrong direction again, the wax won’t pull out the hair follicle properly.

How to make the procedure as pain-free as possible?

This is pretty tough. Managing the pain of waxing at a salon is also challenging. You will feel a little amount of pain no matter what you do. All you can do is minimize the discomfort with some tricks and this should reduce the pain. So, be prepared to feel some pain if you have planned to take this matter into your hand.

·         Make sure the hair isn’t too long when you are preparing for waxing. If it’s, then, trim the hair with a trimmer or a good scissor. Also, do not make the hair too short, keep it even.

·         Stretch the skin as much as possible when you are pulling out the waxing. This trick has proven beneficial for minimizing pain.

·         Ask a friend, your sister, or your partner to lend a helping hand. You may find it difficult to manage the process all by yourself.

Why after-care is important?

When you are finally done with the bikini wax, you must give some time to heal the waxed area. Meanwhile, avoid hot showers for and workouts for the first 24 hours. Use a tea tree lotion or aloe vera-enriched lotion on the waxed areas to keep the areas rash-free and smooth. But make sure the lotion isn’t heavily perfumed. Also, do not wear tight underwear or any tight pant until the waxed areas heal completely. It’s important to let the area breathe for a while.

A new snapshot from https://sagesacre.com/2019/10/02/fall-finally-lets-get-to-work/

Fall Finally! Let's Get to Work!

I’ve been reading “what to plant for fall” stories since August. In some ways I’m jealous of people who can start their fall garden in late summer, but it’s not an option here in the San Diego county foothills. By August the sun is directly overhead and it hasn’t rained in four months or more. The ground is hot and dry, the air is hotter and drier. All the natives drop their leaves and other plants, even mature, well-watered ones, wilt. And the greenhouse is basically an air fryer, so the only things in there are cacti and succulents.

The baking usually continues through the end of September when the longer nights finally let cool, damp air off the ocean seep inland and put a lid on the day’s heat. Then I can get the fall gardens started. This year the magic date was September 29th.

First Things First – Plant for Thanksgiving

Since I started two months later than a lot of others, I planted edible stuff that can be harvested before the holidays first. Thanksgiving is 60 days from September 29 (late this year), so (theoretically) I should have time to sprout, transplant and harvest a bunch of fast growers like herbs, lettuces and spinach, while also getting a running start at broccoli, cauliflower and cabbages which grow without too much help in what we call “winter” here.

Because there’s lots of critters and varmits in the garden right now, rather than starting the seeds outdoors, I did it in the greenhouse. It’s still pretty hot in the daytime, but I figure  can shade the trays until the seedlings have a good start.

The fall veggie and herb seeds in their trays

Here’s what I planted sorted by days to harvest:

Leaf Lettuce – All Star Lettuce Mix (40 days) All purpose leaf lettuce mix. Pick and eat all season long.

Basil – Italian Large Leaf (40 days) Basil is a staple around here, so we try and grow it year-round. Large leaf seems to do better than other varieties in the fall.

Garlic Chives – Geisha (40 days) We always need chives especially with all the potatoes we eat. I should plant more.

Spinach – Space (45 days) Fresh greens! Resistant to pretty much everything and reliable grower in fall and early winter (not so much in spring and summer).

Parlsey – Garden Variety (45 days) A volunteer that’s been growing here so long that I don’t know what type it is. It’s a biennial and it all went to seed this year. Even though it usually produces lots of volunteers on its own, I’m hedging my bet just in case.

Chinese Cabbage – Minuet (48 Days) This one has a mild cabbage flavor so it can sub in for lettuce in a pinch. Gets only about 9-inches tall and stays crispy for a long time. Great for stir fry.

Dill – Mammoth (40-50 Days) Another one of those “must have” flavorings around here. Along with those Max Pack cukes, we’ll have plenty of dill pickles and gyros with fresh tzatziki sauce.

Pea – Tom Thumb (40-50 Days) Heirloom variety with small plants and big peas. Except for the dead of winter when temps dip below freezing, it handles our winters very well.

Cilantro – Santo (50-55 days) Another flavoring we can always use. Great fresh as well as seed for everything from soups and salsa to pulled pork and brisket.

Cucumber – Max Pack (55 Days) A pickling cucumber that’s also good fresh. This variety produces a lot very quickly, so with a little mulch to keep its feet warm, I should have a good supply by Thanksgiving.

Romaine Lettuce – Green Forest (56 Days) Romaine is hit or miss with me, but since they grow it commercially all winter around here, I’m hoping I can too. Salads with romaine are awesome.

Cauliflower – Bishop (70 Days) White cauliflower. Does well in the fall around here. Love to take these whole, drizzle them with olive oil and lemon juice and bake them. Delicious.

Broccoli – Imperial (71 Days) My go to among brassicas. Produces nice big heads even in prolonged cold, gray weather. We’ll probably have some with Christmas dinner.

Cabbage – Ruby Perfection (75 Days) Red ball cabbage. Some people actually use it as a landscape plant, but I use it for coleslaw. Football playoffs and brats require it.

Once everybody was seeded, I watered and covered them with wet burlap to provide shade and maintain moisture while they germinate. We should be seeing the first seedlings in a week or so (fingers crossed).

Seed trays covered with burlap to keep them shady and moist

Up Next – Clean up and Cuttings

With the fall seeding out of the way, it’s time to move on to the end of season round-up of spent plants and pots, and unearthing the big trimmers to regain control of several areas that the trees and vines have taken over these past few months. I’ll get to that next.

California’s Latest Wildfire Problem: Insuring the Tree Trimmers

California law makes the utilities liable for fires caused by their equipment, increasing the urgency of trimming trees and maintaining the power grid. But contractors face liability, too, if fires are traced to what they did or failed to do, which makes it harder to get the insurance needed for the work. If you were a business person on a state committee looking at this insurance problem, what would you recommend be done? Why? What are the ethics underlying your decision?

D.J. Gomes and his logging crew were working in California’s wine country last fall, helping clear vegetation away from power lines and reduce the ever-growing wildfire risk. While they were gone, fire came for their hometown.

The disaster that followed, the Camp Fire, killed 86 people and virtually leveled Paradise, where Mr. Gomes’s house was one of the few spared. His loneliness has started to ease as stores reopen and displaced neighbors move into new modular homes. But getting back to work has been more complicated.

Mr. Gomes owns Crossfire Tree & Vegetation, one of many companies that have been contractors for utilities like Pacific Gas & Electric in fire-prevention work. State law makes the utilities liable for fires caused by their equipment, increasing the urgency of trimming trees and maintaining the power grid. But contractors face liability, too, if fires are traced to what they did or failed to do. And that is making it harder to get the insurance needed for the work.

“Every year I go to renew, it’s a huge fight,” Mr. Gomes said. Despite his company’s safety record, “they keep increasing the amount of insurance they want you to have.”

Before he first went to work for PG&E after the 2015 Butte Fire, which scorched more than 70,000 acres in the Sierra foothills, Mr. Gomes said it cost around $1,500 to buy $1 million in annual liability coverage. He spent $15,000 last year to secure $5 million in liability coverage then required by PG&E.

In addition to surging premiums, insurance brokers said that some contractors were seeing policies canceled or were unable to secure new coverage. Tree work has always been hard to insure because of hazards like falls from 100-foot trees and the heavy use of chain saws. Now, after several seasons of major wildfires, the risk calculus has changed.

“They’re starting to apply wildfire exclusions,” said Milton Smith, a senior vice president at the national insurance brokerage McGriff, Seibels & Williams. And without wildfire coverage, Mr. Smith said, a fire traced to a contractor’s job site can be “a business-ending event.”

At the heart of the insurance anxiety is a provision of the state constitution known as inverse condemnation. That rule holds utilities responsible for fires even if they are not negligent — a doctrine that PG&E has lobbied to change as it contends with tens of billions of dollars in potential claims for fires attributed to its equipment, including the Camp Fire.

To work for PG&E, contractors must agree to absorb the liability for any lawsuits over death, injuries or property damage — during or after the fact — in areas where they work.

The result can be multimillion-dollar payouts. In 2007, after two fires ignited by San Diego Gas & Electric equipment, the utility sued two of its contractors over work they had been responsible for — tree trimming and power-pole maintenance — at fire sites. The contractors agreed to a $370 million settlement.

How much contractors might pay for more recent fires is unclear. Since PG&E filed for bankruptcy protection in January, victims’ lawyers have requested extensive information about the company’s contractors and argued at a May hearing that tree trimmers, inspectors and other vendors could be liable for up to $1 billion.

“If a tree falls on a line, there’s a reasonable claim against the tree trimmer for screwing up, right?” said Michael Wara, director of the Climate and Energy Policy Program at the Woods Institute for the Environment at Stanford University. “They’re at least partly responsible.”

Now the question is how much of the burden contractors can be asked to bear, especially as PG&E tells regulators that it cannot secure enough crews to confront a yearslong backlog of maintenance around power lines.

“When the utilities talk about the limited labor supply, part of what they’re really talking about is the fact that these companies will not do business with them,” Mr. Wara said. “Because doing that exposes the tree-trimming companies to enormous potential liability that they cannot insure.”

The world’s largest tree company, Asplundh of Pennsylvania, allowed its longtime contract with PG&E to expire late last year. A subsidiary of Asplundh, Trees Inc., was named in a wrongful-death lawsuit brought by two women whose father was killed in the Butte Fire, sparked when a PG&E power line was hit by a dead tree that the suit said the contractor had failed to address. The case is in limbo, since no verdict was reached before PG&E declared bankruptcy, freezing lawsuits. Asplundh did not respond to requests for comment.

Paul Doherty, a PG&E spokesman, acknowledged the concerns of contractors about the availability and cost of insurance. But he said that the cost of contract labor had risen for reasons “primarily related to supply and demand” and that it was hard to judge how much of the increase was attributable to insurance.

As officials try to head off another devastating wildfire season, there are signs that much remains to be done.

An August report by a court-appointed monitor found “systemic” issues with PG&E’s fire mitigation work, including a nearly 50 percent shortfall in identifying fire hazards, as well as indications that power lines had come in contact with vegetation that contractors said they had cleared. The report, part of the utility’s criminal probation from a 2010 gas pipeline explosion, also found “record-keeping defects” in PG&E’s system for contractors that may make it unclear who is doing work.

The confusion is evident to Steve Sando, who lives in forested hills above Napa Valley where a 2017 fire destroyed a barn and trees on his property. More than a dozen crews have made inspections of his land, resulting in a hodgepodge of “rainbow trees” that were spray-painted four colors to denote hazards but were never taken down, he said.

“At first, I thought, ‘These people don’t have it quite together,’ but it was an emergency, so you cut them some slack,” said Mr. Sando, who owns Rancho Gordo, the heirloom beans purveyor. “It really just kept going, the PG&E drama.”

PG&E’s chief executive, Bill Johnson, said the company was doing all it could. It has about 4,500 workers engaged daily in tree maintenance, he said in an interview, and by the end of the year will have felled or trimmed 1.8 million trees. It is also changing inspection procedures and improving contractor training, he added.

“This is a huge effort,” he said, “and we’re learning as we go.”

The success of that effort may help shape how insurers and investors respond to climate-related risks.

“We are marching steadily toward a future in which the private market may conclude that these are uninsurable risks,” said Dave Jones, a former state insurance commissioner. “In some ways, that’s already happened for the utilities.”

In July, California lawmakers approved a plan to create a state-backed insurance pool to expedite payments to victims after future wildfires. Homeowners in fire-prone areas who report their own insurance cancellations and skyrocketing costs are increasingly directed to secondary insurance markets or state plans, similar to flood insurance, as a last resort.

For utility contractors, there is no backstop like a state insurance program. Many are turning to costly alternatives, sometimes sold by offshore companies in places like Bermuda and lacking some of the regulation and financial guarantees of conventional policies.

The income from utility work is still enough to draw bidders. For Paul Sousa, owner of California Tree Solutions of San Jose, it meant increasing his insurance to $12 million in liability coverage from the $2 million he carried as a residential tree trimmer. But after weathering the initial costs, he said he was confident that his nine-man crew doing PG&E fire mitigation in Lake County would make the gamble pay off.

“If I hadn’t been established already, I think I would have gone out of business,” Mr. Sousa said. It also takes longer to be paid by the utility, he said, but there is an advantage to having a client with hundreds of thousands of miles to clear. “It’s better job security,” Mr. Sousa said. “They need us as much as we need them.”

Other established contractors have had second thoughts, including Mr. Gomes. He has stopped doing work for the utility in recent months to focus on cleanup jobs for fellow Paradise residents as they rebuild.

“There’s so much work that I don’t see the point of leaving,” he said.

Most Common Electrocution Work Injuries | Electrical Shock Lawsuits

From computer equipment to heavy machinery, almost everyone encounters electricity in the workplace. While it helps us get the job done, electricity can also pose a serious hazard to our health and safety. According to Electrical Safety Foundation International (ESFI), 1,640 workplace electrical injuries occurred in 2016 – and 154 fatalities.

The most frequently reported types of workplace electrical injuries

The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) reports the following types of electrical hazards facing American workers:

Electric shock

An electric shock occurs when a person comes into contact with a power source, causing energy to flow throughout their body. Depending on the type and level of electrical current, electrical shock injuries can range from mild to serious. Extremely high voltage shocks can result in electrocution, which is death due to cardiac arrest.

Burns

Exposure to electrical current can cause significant burns to skin, hair, internal organs, or subdermal tissue. The electrical energy flowing through your body can destroy blood vessels, nerves, and muscle, sometimes without leaving much of an external marker.

Falls

When workers are perched on high locations and come into contact with electricity, such as in powerlines or machinery, they can suffer electrical shocks that cause them to fall from great heights. Falls can carry devastating long-term consequences, including neurological damage or musculoskeletal disorders.

High-risk industries for electrocution injuries

While anyone can suffer an electrocution injury at work, construction workers run the highest risk of any industry. According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), 53% of workplace electrical fatalities occur in construction. This industry is comprised of roofers, carpenters, and laborers, but the most at-risk construction workers are electricians, who account for over half of electrical injuries suffered in the field.

People who work in the installation, maintenance, and repair industry also have a higher risk of electrical shocks or burns. Those who work with power lines, telecommunications systems, HVAC units, and industrial machinery are repeatedly exposed to wiring, transformers, and other electrical components that can cause serious harm.

Common causes of workplace electrical injuries

NIOSH reports the following common causes of workplace electrical injuries and fatalities:

Direct contact with a powerline

Electricians aren’t the only workers who are exposed to overhead powerlines. Sign technicians, tree trimmers, and telecommunications specialists are also at risk of electrical injury from powerlines that haven’t been properly insulated.

Indirect contact with a powerline

Workers operating lifts, cranes, or trucks are in danger of electrocution if their equipment touches a powerline. Observing OSHA regulations, such as minimum clearance distances and designated lookouts, can reduce the risk of injury.

Direct contact with electrical equipment

Dangerous electrical currents can be emitted from machinery or equipment that’s routinely used on the job. If lockout/tagout procedures aren’t followed correctly prior to servicing or maintenance work, electrical injury can occur.

Improperly installed or damaged electrical equipment

Faulty wiring, improper grounding, or even damaged extension cords create hazardous conditions, exposing workers to potential shock or electrocution.

What to do if you’ve suffered an electrical injury on the job

If you’ve suffered from an electrical burn, shock, or related fall, your first priority is to seek medical attention. Left untreated, electrical injuries can be painful, debilitating, and potentially life threatening – and sometimes, the full extent of the damage may not be immediately obvious.

Once you’ve been examined by a physician, it’s time to record the details of your injury, including where you were, what you were doing, and who you were with. If possible, take photos of the accident site, and any visible injuries you may have sustained. This evidence will be helpful in filing a claim for workers’ compensation. You should also speak to a qualified attorney who can advise you about pursuing an electrical shock lawsuit to help offset any hardship you may have endured.

San Diego Tree Care Tips For Fall

Preparing Your Trees For Fall in San Diego

Estates Tree Service has been a Family owned and operated Tree Service operating in San Diego County since 1992. We work here, we live here, and we know how to make your trees look great year-round with the unique San Diego climate.

Now, part of the unique climate of San Diego is that seasons really don’t exist, we have summer, and summer with rain, while the temperatures outside may only dip into the 50’s, that doesn’t mean your trees are not reacting to the changing of the seasons, so despite our great climate, you will still want to be sure to prepare your trees for fall.

We want to help you make the most of your yard by ensuring that your trees are safe, healthy, and happy, we also want you to be happy with the looks of your home, so take the tips below and put them to good use around your yard, next spring you’ll be happy you did when your trees look better than ever!

Maintaining healthy trees in San Diego during fall.

1. Fall Fertilization is essential to a spring bloom.

After a hot summer, your soil will be depleted of moisture, and the essential nutrients that the roots of your trees rely upon in order to allow the rest of the tree to flourish. The lack of vital nutrients in the soil that your trees are planted in will eventually lead to sickness or death of your tree.

To help ensure your trees have the right nutrients and regain the nutrients lost during the warm San Diego summers, you’ll want to apply a slow release fertilizer, this will slowly work it’s way into the soil replacing the vital nutrients that your tree is looking for.

With these nutrients and proper fertilization, your tree will become more resistant to damage from disease, insects, harsh weather, and they’ll be well prepared for the upcoming rains of winter.

Be careful not to over fertilize your trees, and use a fertilizer that is right for your specific species. If you need help keeping your trees healthy, you can call the San Diego Tree Care experts at Estates Tree Service.

2. Hydration is critical.

San Diego County does not receive a lot of rain, whether you’re in the mountains of Ramona, the valleys of El Cajon & La Mesa, or along the coast in Del Mar, La Jolla, or Coronado, your trees probably want more water.

Being that San Diego County IS in a water shortage, be careful to not over water, but don’t skip watering altogether if you care about your trees.

Fall is the right season to give your trees a healthy drink of water, after the scorching summers we experience in San Diego, your trees will greatly appreciate it, by now they’ve depleted what they had stored and they’re ready for some hydration.

If you’re in one of the areas of San Diego where frost and freezing is a concern, you’ll want to pay extra attention to getting water down to the roots of your tree, so the tree can soak up the water and deliver it to the rest of the tree. Subsurface watering is an efficient way to ensure water reaches your tree’s roots. Using an injection probe, water is sent throughout the top 12 inches of the soil surrounding your trees, the area your trees need the water most. This method of subsurface watering is ideal for trees and shrubs that are not connected to irrigation systems, newly planted trees, and trees that are in need of temporary relief from drought stress.

3. Plant Trees When the Time Is Right.

Depending on the species you’re planting, the right time of year to plant a tree may just be in the Fall. Some tree’s will shed their leaves in Autumn and sprout new life in spring, making fall the best time to plant new trees. Since temperatures are cooler, but not so cold that frost or freezing temperatures will become a concern, there is much less risk of sun scorching, drought stress, or swarming of insects.

Planting your new trees during fall give the trees the chance to establish their roots, build a root mass, and prepare for winter dormancy.

Tom and company knocked down a big, ugly Jacaranda tree along with trimming some pine branches that were crowding our SDG&E power line. Excellent job and fair price. Especially evident was the clean-up including sweeping the roof which has now never looked so good. Estate Tree Service is highly recommended.

We are so happy with the service!!!!  Not only did they do an excellent job on trimming all of our trees, the bid Tom gave me was the best out of the three places I called. Tom and his crew are experts at what they do. They showed up on time, did a great job on trimming all of the trees and clean up.   I know who to call now next time I need tree service. Thank you so much Estates Tree Service, my yard looks great!

San Diego Tree Care Tips For Fall

Preparing Your Trees For Fall in San Diego

Estates Tree Service has been a Family owned and operated Tree Service operating in San Diego County since 1992. We work here, we live here, and we know how to make your trees look great year-round with the unique San Diego climate.

Now, part of the unique climate of San Diego is that seasons really don’t exist, we have summer, and summer with rain, while the temperatures outside may only dip into the 50’s, that doesn’t mean your trees are not reacting to the changing of the seasons, so despite our great climate, you will still want to be sure to prepare your trees for fall.

We want to help you make the most of your yard by ensuring that your trees are safe, healthy, and happy, we also want you to be happy with the looks of your home, so take the tips below and put them to good use around your yard, next spring you’ll be happy you did when your trees look better than ever!

Maintaining healthy trees in San Diego during fall.

  1. Fall Fertilization is essential to a spring bloom.

After a hot summer, your soil will be depleted of moisture, and the essential nutrients that the roots of your trees rely upon in order to allow the rest of the tree to flourish. The lack of vital nutrients in the soil that your trees are planted in will eventually lead to sickness or death of your tree.

To help ensure your trees have the right nutrients and regain the nutrients lost during the warm San Diego summers, you’ll want to apply a slow release fertilizer, this will slowly work it’s way into the soil replacing the vital nutrients that your tree is looking for.

With these nutrients and proper fertilization, your tree will become more resistant to damage from disease, insects, harsh weather, and they’ll be well prepared for the upcoming rains of winter.

Be careful not to over fertilize your trees, and use a fertilizer that is right for your specific species. If you need help keeping your trees healthy, you can call the San Diego Tree Care experts at Estates Tree Service.

2. Hydration is critical.

San Diego County does not receive a lot of rain, whether you’re in the mountains of Ramona, the valleys of El Cajon & La Mesa, or along the coast in Del Mar, La Jolla, or Coronado, your trees probably want more water.

Being that San Diego County IS in a water shortage, be careful to not over water, but don’t skip watering altogether if you care about your trees.

Fall is the right season to give your trees a healthy drink of water, after the scorching summers we experience in San Diego, your trees will greatly appreciate it, by now they’ve depleted what they had stored and they’re ready for some hydration.

If you’re in one of the areas of San Diego where frost and freezing is a concern, you’ll want to pay extra attention to getting water down to the roots of your tree, so the tree can soak up the water and deliver it to the rest of the tree. Subsurface watering is an efficient way to ensure water reaches your tree’s roots. Using an injection probe, water is sent throughout the top 12 inches of the soil surrounding your trees, the area your trees need the water most. This method of subsurface watering is ideal for trees and shrubs that are not connected to irrigation systems, newly planted trees, and trees that are in need of temporary relief from drought stress.

3. Plant Trees When the Time Is Right.

Depending on the species you’re planting, the right time of year to plant a tree may just be in the Fall. Some tree’s will shed their leaves in Autumn and sprout new life in spring, making fall the best time to plant new trees. Since temperatures are cooler, but not so cold that frost or freezing temperatures will become a concern, there is much less risk of sun scorching, drought stress, or swarming of insects.

Planting your new trees during fall give the trees the chance to establish their roots, build a root mass, and prepare for winter dormancy.

4. Equip For The Cold Weather To Come.

Winter in San Diego is generally mild, but you’ll want to be prepared for possible snow, frost, cold temperatures or any other environmental variables your area in San Diego County is prone to.

According to the experts at Diamond Tree Company a company based in Colorado Any sort of extreme weather condition will pose a higher risk of stress on your trees, be sure to take the time to think what you may need during the fall and prepare for winter. Commonly cabling, bracing and pruning your trees before the frost hits will help your tree flourish in the following seasons.

What Are the Typical Tree Service Company Services?

If you live in San Diego, you already know that you can find just about anything you need, when you need it. This is the case even when tree trimming isn't an option because your home may be in danger of flooding or storm damage. You can also use a tree service if you have trees at home that are dangerous or unhealthy. There are many reasons why you might need to contact a tree service if you're not already familiar with the different services they offer.

The first thing you need to understand is that there are many different tree services in San Diego. There is a wide range of businesses that can help you with all kinds of tree problems. Therefore, before you decide that you want to call a tree service company, you must take some time to think about what you need from them. To ensure that you get exactly what you need, you must take a few minutes to think about all of the various tree services in San Diego. Then, after you've thought about it, you can call a tree trimmer San Diego and ask them to help you out.

When you have a tree that is growing in a place where it's not in healthy conditions, it can be very dangerous. It can also cause damage to other property. Therefore, it's a good idea for anyone who has trees that they need to get rid of to call a tree service company today. However, you don't have to wait until you have a tree issue before you decide to contact a tree service company. Instead, you should think about the potential damage a damaged tree can cause in your backyard before you get ready to call one today.

A tree service company will often come to the home of a customer to remove a tree that's growing on or near a sidewalk or road. For example, if a tree has grown up between two buildings and is blocking a road, a tree service company might come to the house and remove the tree. However, if a tree is growing too high and dangerously close to home, the tree service company might have to remove it from the area altogether. Depending on the type of tree and how close it's getting to the house, the tree service company might remove the tree or trim it back to make way for a safer environment.

Another example of tree service that can be helpful is tree trimming. If a tree is growing dangerously close to a home or garage, a tree service company might come to remove the tree so a person can use the garage instead of having to drive around it. This can save someone from a terrible commute.

Tree trimming in San Diego also includes removing unwanted tree branches. Sometimes a tree will grow in a way that is creating a hazard around a home or business. A tree service company might come out and trim the tree so a person won't get into harm's way. Trimming is also needed when a tree grows excessively because it is blocking a sidewalk or road. This could be dangerous and should be done as soon as possible.

Tree removal services are often needed when a tree has started to mature and is becoming dangerous. If a tree is not properly taken care of, it could fall on a person or damage a building. Therefore, a tree service company might come and remove a tree that is threatening to fall and cause harm.

Of course, there are other tree services that a San Diego tree service company may provide. They might come out and give a proper inspection of a tree. In addition, they can inspect a tree for signs of insect infestation, decay, and other problems. The San Diego area has many professionals who can provide a good tree trimming service to individuals and businesses.

Some time ago, years in fact, I started to plan landscaping that would mature about the time I retired.   Perhaps you have heard that San Diego has a “Mediterranean” climate most of the year.   In my part of the county, winter arrives when the temperature dips to 58 F (14 C).  Of course, we do have some mornings that are freezing.  Some years, rain is slim to none,  and in other years, rain comes and goes through April.  While we had a couple days in late February that were 90 F (32 C), Spring turns to Summer in late April.

Years ago, it was popular to have lawns in suburban California, but with drought for several years we pretty much let them all die.   I replaced all my grass with mulch, dry-climate loving succulents and Australian-origin trees, shrubs and the like.  And because I have dogs,  I found out which landscaping can tolerate a little dog pee and which just outright die.  In the last year,  I started to install decorative iron fencing in the backyard a little at a time.  At the time I was wrestling whether to put down rock, gravel or mulch so I was not ready to complete the fencing project.   My wife tells me the yard is lovely, but after six months,  the chain link, chicken wire, and reclaimed wood that forms the remaining barriers,  need to be replaced.  I am just very grateful that, things are thriving away from the pee zone.

With all the other concerns of life,  the dusty climate in my part of the county, and the fact of dog-life,  I was leaving the back door open to let the dogs wander in and out during my work-day.   The amount of dust and debris tracked into the house was intolerable (by mutual decision) so I got a sliding door with a doggie-flap.   Dust continues to coat the patio and is tracked still into the house.   If I plan to retire before I cannot lift a rake or hedge-trimmer, I need to finish the landscaping.  What is the proper groundcover?

When grass was in the yard, dust did not seem to be as big an issue.  But I don’t want to deal with watering grass, cutting it, and dealing with dogs scratching it up.  Fake grass?  I hate fake grass.   I’d rather just put down decorative rock.  I could start picking up shopper-sized individual bags at the big-box store, or have a huge pile dumped in my driveway.   I’m thinking about the pile, and all the exercise I will get moving stones by wheelbarrow.  That gives me more ideas.

It’s not landscaping,  It’s a home-based fitness center!   I wonder if I can earn a fitness discount with my employer health insurance?
