Siding Repair Seattle WA can be done to save your siding. But if your siding has begun to show signs of rot, it may be time to replace it. You don’t necessarily need to replace the entire board. Just replace rotten or broken boards. Make sure to stagger the butt joints and center your cutting lines on the studs. You can identify stud locations by the nailheads on the siding. There are several steps to replace siding. Here are a few of them. Read on to learn how.

Siding Repair

Before you begin, you must determine the extent of the damage. Then, you can either repair a small portion of the siding or replace the entire siding. While fading is not repairable, you can fix small holes. Gaps can be caulked. When properly maintained, siding is your home’s first line of defense. It keeps out rain, wind, ice, and cold and gives you curb appeal. Here are some tips for siding repair.
Dry rot is difficult to detect by looking at the siding. To find this problem, you should tap on the siding and listen for differences in sound. Wood siding is beautiful on the outside, but it also looks great on the inside. If the underlayer of the siding is soft, you may need to replace it. Another thing you should look for is low-grade wall insulation. Poorly insulated walls can result in higher energy costs. Therefore, make sure to install high-quality wall insulation.
If your home is covered by siding, you must protect the entire area. Clean the siding area thoroughly to remove any mold, mildew, or algae. This is especially important if you live in humid climates. If you can protect your landscaping from damage, it will last longer. However, you should be aware of the costs of re-applying for the paint. It’s always better to invest in high-quality, durable products, especially if they are not cheap materials.
Before choosing the right type of siding for your home, you should consider the resale value of your home. If one wall of siding is freshly painted, buyers are likely to be less likely to invest in it. If they notice the painting job on only one wall of the home, they may consider buying a home that has new siding on all walls. If the other walls are painted, buyers will assume the siding needs to be replaced soon.
Siding materials come in many different varieties, each with its pros and cons. They vary in price and look, as well as their durability and maintenance requirements. Some homeowners opt for a traditional wood siding, while others choose a modern look with metal siding. If you’re looking for a classic brick look, brick siding may be for you. However, while it is durable and resistant to rot, brick siding is not easy to repair and is not particularly easy to replace if damaged. Wood siding is another option, but it’s expensive.
While vinyl siding is a relatively cheap option, natural or manufactured stone can cost more than vinyl. In addition, stone siding requires professional installation or repair. It would be best if you also considered hiring a mason, as these professionals are more highly skilled and expensive than a standard handyman. The cost of installing stone siding may be more than double the price of vinyl. In addition, a mason will charge you a lot more for the work than a standard handyman.
If your siding is beginning to show signs of rot, you may want to consider replacing it. Repairing a small hole in the siding will cost between $50 and $150. Once you have determined the cause of the rot, the remaining wood will be replaced. The cost of replacing a large section of your siding may reach $2,500 or more. Siding contractors typically charge between $40 and 70 per hour for labor. However, if you have a more complex pattern, you’ll likely have to spend even more.
Brick and stone siding are the most expensive types of siding, and they’re notoriously difficult to install. Because they’re so heavy, however, they can also break easily. Even though stone and brick are strong and durable, they can break over time due to settling or harsh weather conditions. In addition, a loose mortar could give insects and moisture access. These siding types require frequent cleaning and are generally quite expensive. They are also the most expensive for residential installation.
Siding has long been an excellent exterior shell for homes. For decades, wood siding was the popular option. Typical wood clapboard was used for the majority of homes. Today, the majority of siding options are made from aluminum, vinyl, or fiber cement. Fiber cement is also relatively easy to care for, which makes it one of the most popular choices for siding. However, fiber cement is also fairly expensive and requires more maintenance. The benefits of fiber cement siding are numerous.

Holly Plant: A Holiday Favorite that Shines in Winter

Holly Plant: A Holiday Favorite that Shines in Winter

Holly is commonly seen during the holiday season. Even carols tell us to ‘Deck the halls with boughs of holly.’ The plant’s green leaves and red berries (though some cultivars do have berries with other colors) are a festive pop of color in interior décor. In the outdoor landscape, they are a bright and welcome sight on cold and gray winter days.

There are around 400 species in the holly (Ilex) genus including trees, shrubs and climbers. American holly is the one we most often associate with the holidays. While holly are generally slow-growing, some species are capable of obtaining heights of 80 feet or more!

Holly Characteristics

All parts of the plant, including the berries, are toxic to humans if consumed. However, they are an important food source for birds. The dense foliage is also a great hiding place from predators! In native areas, birds help the plant survive by dispersing seeds. Unfortunately, this can be a problem in non-native geographies. For example, along the west coast of North America, from California to British Columbia, holly has been spreading rapidly and crowding out forest species.

Holly plants are separately male and female. Males produce flowers, but no fruit. The familiar red fruits are on female plants. For the female to bear fruit, a male must be planted nearby. The fruits ripen in winter. They provide a nice color contrast to the glossy evergreen leaves.

Holly often grows as a shrub or in hedges. In open conditions, it can also form a small tree after growing for many years.

Growing and Caring for Holly

These plants thrive in full sun or partial shade and well-drained soil.

Hollies are susceptible to various leaf spot diseases. Infection results in leaf discoloration and eventual defoliation. Management of these disease is achievable as long as they are identified and treated in a timely manner. Root rot is another disease issue that is common. The best course of action is to maintain healthy soil conditions so that roots can continue to grow and thrive.

Some insect pests attack holly. A Certified Arborist can identify and treat infestations of aphids, scale, mites or holly leaf miner.

Overall, this is a great plant in its native range that brings color and beauty to a winter landscape.

Watch Out for Winter Tree & Shrub Problems

Steven Kelley Tree Blogs
Watch Out for Winter Tree & Shrub Problems

Imagine staying outside all of the time, even during winter. Exposed to severe weather, you’d face many problems. Even though trees live and grow outside, that doesn’t mean that the challenges of winter aren’t stressful for them too! Low temperatures, heavy snow, ice storms and other extremes cause a variety of winter injuries on landscape plants. It’s important to know what type of problems to look for during winter.

Low Temperature Injuries

Root damage can happen during prolonged cold spells, especially on shallow-rooted plants, container plantings and non-native plants. When roots die during this weather, the symptoms won’t appear until late winter or spring. At that point, foliage turns brown, buds die and the entire crown may wilt and die suddenly.

Low temperatures can also kill above-ground portions of plants. Again, non-native plants are most susceptible.  

Winter Drying   

Winter drying generally affects evergreens, particularly mountain laurel, rhododendron, azalea and holly. Plants continue to transpire water during winter. When the soil is frozen, that water cannot be replaced and the foliage dries out. As with injury from low temperatures, in late winter or spring, foliage will turn brown and buds will die.

Stem Splitting or “Frost Cracks”

Frost cracks generally occur on young, thin-barked trees like maple, sycamore or linden. The sudden drop in temperature from sunny, daytime highs to the very lows of nighttime causes stem tissues to shrink and wood to crack.

In severe instances, cracks can extend well into the heartwood, but usually, it is restricted to the outer few inches of wood. Frost cracks can be an entry point for decay on certain species.

Breakage from Snow and Ice Accumulation

The added weight of ice and snow can break branches. Heavy or long limbs, branches showing signs of decay, or those with a weak branch attachment are more vulnerable. This can also be an issue for evergreens, which have a large surface area to “hold” snow.

Deicing Salt Injuries

The salt (sodium chloride) commonly used as a deicing agent can splash onto plants or seep into soil. Salt spray dries out foliage and buds. In the soil, high levels of salt dries out, and can kill, plant roots.

Damage from Animals

Some animal activity during winter is harmful to trees and shrubs. Deer are one example. As other food sources become unavailable, deer turn to twigs and buds for sustenance. Further, deer injure trees by scraping their antlers against the trunk. This is called “buck rub.”

Small rodents and rabbits can also be problematic. These animals eat bark tissue around the lower stem and root collar during winter. This can result in tree death when feeding leads to girdling, where the bark is completely stripped from the tree.

Deicing salts can kill plant roots and dry out foliage.
animal damage
Small rodents and rabbits feed on bark when other food sources are sparse.
low temperature injury
Low temperatures can damage roots or the above-ground portion of plants.

breakage in tree crown
Breakage from winter weather is readily apparent once the leaves have returned.

How to choose the right tree for your backyard

Steven Kelley Tree Blogs
How to choose the right tree for your backyard

There are just so many trees out there to choose from, how on earth do you narrow down your choices? Tree selection has become more complicated these days as more and more kinds of trees are grown and sold at your local nursery.

You want to choose the right tree, and you know that it is important, but how do you go about it? Well, don’t worry, because we’ve got your back. Here at Darryl’s Tree Care we’ve seen many trees located in the wrong place for their welfare, and that of the structures around them.

In this article, we will cover 3 simple criteria that you can use to assess tree selection possibilities for your garden. We hope that they will guide you through the process of making a decision so that you can choose the right tree for your situation.

Size

The first thing that you really need to get right when you go to choose a tree for your backyard is size. You need to choose the right tree for the size of your yard. That is, don’t be tempted to squeeze a huge tree into a small space, as that will not end well.

Have you ever seen a home that is getting almost eaten alive by a nearby tree? It can really detract from the look of your house. Tree choice is something that requires a lot of thought, otherwise, you may regret your decisions years down the track when it’s too late to do anything except get your tree trimmed constantly.

Another warning when it comes to tree selection concerns power lines. You need to ensure there is plenty of space for your new tree to grow upwards, and that there are no buildings or other obstructions in the way, including existing trees.

The general rule is to allow for 1.5 times the expected width of the grown tree around the planting site. The information tag on your tree should tell you what the end width of the tree will be.

Function

In order to choose the right tree, you need to take function into the equation of tree selection. What do you want your tree to do?

To choose the right tree, you need to consider your situation. Do you want shade? Exactly how much? This will determine whether you should opt for a medium or large tree, as will your available room in the backyard.

Do you want to choose a tree that will give you more privacy? Then you may want to decide on an evergreen tree, as then your privacy shield won’t drop its leaves to become see-through every Autumn.

Maybe your tree selection is governed by the need for a tree that your future kids can climb? Or perhaps you just want some greenery to frame your outdoor entertaining area? Other uses for trees may involve harvesting fruit or nuts to offset the family grocery bills.

You may be guided to a certain tree selection based on a love of a particular tree for its flowers or leaf colour, or maybe you intend on picking something that brings local insects or birds to the garden.

There are endless potential purposes for trees, but the most important thing is that you consider what function your new tree will have in your backyard. That way you can ensure you choose the right tree for your desired effect.

Conditions

In order to choose the right tree for your backyard, you need to ensure that the conditions in your garden match the conditions that your potential tree thrives in.

Soils range from sandy to clay to everything in between. Some areas get more rain than others, and some plants are prone to being singed by the summer sun if they are put in the wrong spot.

Does your new sapling need full sun or partial shade? Does it need well-drained soil? It’s a good idea to check out what conditions your tree prefers before planting in the ground and hoping for the best.

There are things you can do to help beyond tree selection, such as using an irrigation system if your tree needs more frequent watering, or using fertiliser or mulch to aid the health of the soil.

But really, if you want to choose the right tree for your yard, you really should go to the effort of doing a bit of research to ensure your garden conditions are compatible with the climate preferences of your tree.

Need help with your trees?

Here at Darryl’s Tree Care, we’ve been helping people get control of their trees for years. If you need tree stump removal, tree trimming, tree selection help, or even possum control or a hazardous tree assessment, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us.

Why You Should Never Attempt Tree Removal on Your Own

Steven Kelley Tree Services
Why You Should Never Attempt Tree Removal on Your Own

Never Attempt Tree Removal on Your Own

 

It’s estimated that urban trees have an average lifespan of around 20 years. Based on that number, you might think that tree removal is not something you will have to worry about anytime soon, especially if your trees are relatively newly planted.

But there are natural occurrences that might end your trees’ lives early, such as thunderstorms and tree diseases. In that case, you will need to be proactive and remove those dying or dead trees before they can affect the rest of your garden.

Do you currently have a tree that needs to be removed? In that case, you should call a professional!

You might think you can perform tree removal on your own, but the truth is, you should never try to. Read on to find out why.

 

Never Attempt Tree Removal Because: You Might Not Have the Right Equipment

When you consider removing a tree, you might think that all you need is a chainsaw and/or a hacksaw. Then, all you need to do is just get to work, right?

But the reality is, there’s proper commercial-grade equipment that the professionals use to perform tree removal services. Since you most likely do not have that type of equipment, you will not have the right tools for the job.

As a result, this can cause many other issues (which we will explore below).

Even if you were to get the right equipment, it can end up costing you a pretty penny. Not to mention, this rarely used equipment will take up precious space in your shed.

If you have professional tree surgeons come to perform tree felling, they’ll bring all the proper equipment with them, which can end up saving you money (and space) in the long run.

 

Never Attempt Tree Removal Because: The Tree Can Fall Incorrectly

Chances are, you are probably not a trained arborist. This means you do not have the training or experience to cut the tree, so it falls correctly.

Even if you have an inkling and grasp of some basic physics, you are still too inexperienced to confidently predict where a cut tree will land. This unpredictability can cause injury and damage to properties.

Professionals will know how to cut the tree in sections so that each bit will come off safely.

 

You Might Hurt Yourself

There are so many aspects of a tree removal service that can potentially go wrong. And when they do, you will be the one paying for it.

As we have said above, the tree can fall incorrectly, meaning it can land on any part of your body. Resulting injuries can be as small as cuts and bruises, and as serious as broken bones and punctured organs, or even death!

Also, just one wrong move with equipment (such as a chainsaw or hacksaw) can result in serious injuries. This may cost you a trip to the A&E.

Also, many homeowners who take on DIY projects often do not wear the correct personal protective equipment (PPE). Things like safety glasses, hardhat, gloves, sturdy shoes, and long-sleeved clothing will help decrease the chances of injury. But unfortunately, most do not think to wear these items.

Lastly, for some trees, you might need to get up high to cut certain branches. Standing at any height can result in a serious fall if you do not secure yourself properly. This can also end up with cuts, bruises, and broken bones.

 

You Might Cause Damage to Property

Returning to the possibility of the tree falling incorrectly if you are lucky, it will just fall on your lawn, without damaging much else.

But in the worst-case scenario, the tree might end up crashing onto your other plants, car, garage, or home. Even worse, it might cross property lines and destroying your neighbour’s property!

Avoid all this trouble and get peace of mind by using a professional instead. Not only can they perform correct tree felling, but they will also have insurance to cover any damages should anything unfortunate happen.

 

You Won’t Be Able to Remove the Tree Completely on Your Own

Whilst some homeowners choose to keep the end stump in the ground, many others opt to have it removed as well. This will require the proper knowledge and skills to completely remove the entire stump and surface roots.

Not only that, but you will also need specialised equipment like a stump grinder. Again, you probably do not have this equipment lying around, which means you would need to go through the hassle of buying these things. Hiring a professional for tree stump removal is a lot easier and safer.

 

Other Benefits of Using a Professional

The main reason for using a professional for tree removal services is this: safety. Not only will you protect yourself and others around, but also, the surrounding property.

But this is not the only benefit you will reap from using a professional.

Besides, they will provide complete services, meaning they will also clean up your property afterwards. You will not have to worry about having a garden strewn with random branches.

Not only will you remain safer by opting for a professional, but you will also save some time. When you consider the tree removal cost, it will be well worth it when you consider how long it would take you to attempt removing a tree on your own.

 

Do You Require Tree Removal Services? Then Call a Professional

As you can see, if you need tree removal carried out, you should not attempt to do it on your own. Not only is it dangerous to you, others, and your property, but it will probably be time-consuming for you as well because you might not have the right equipment.

So, the next time you have a dead or downed tree, call a professional instead. They will be able to remove your tree safely, so you do not have to lift a finger at all. Plus, it will be a cost-effective way to keep your garden beautiful and healthy.

Fight Fire Blight with Pruning & Treatments

Steven Kelley Tree Services
Fight Fire Blight with Pruning & Treatments

While tree diseases often thrive in spring, it is important to remember that proper care year-round can make a big difference in managing these issues. Some simple practices now can help combat disease. One good example is autumn and winter care to help control fire blight. Caused by the bacterium Erwinia amylovora, fireblight commonly infects pear, apple, hawthorn and quince.


The scorched leaves and “shepherd’s crook” that are telltale signs of fire blight.

Symptoms of Fire Blight

The disease gets the name “fire” blight because severely infected plants will have blackened or dark brown branches and foliage. Plant tissue can look as if it has been scorched or burned. The affected branches also often form a shepherd’s crook at the tip.

How Fire blight Spreads

Bees and wind-driven rain spread new infections during spring. These infections progress into the twigs and toward the main trunk. Once infected, cankers on trunks and branches can persist, where they serve as a source for future infections. Left untreated, cankers can completely girdle the cambium tissue. The result is the death of large branches or entire trees. The bacterium is active during the moist and humid weather of spring. After spring, the bacterium is normally dormant. However, symptoms in infected tissue can continue to worsen during this time.

ction to Combat Fire Blight

Management of fire blight requires sanitation and prevention. Pruning infected tissue should be performed when the bacterium is dormant and spread of disease has ceased. Please note that on highly susceptible trees and rapidly advancing infections, pruning below the branch cankers should be performed immediately to reduce severity – even when the disease is active.

Any leaves that have fallen from infected trees should be bagged and removed to help minimize re-infection.

Preventive treatments can also help protect healthy tissues from new infections. It is rare to get complete control over any plant disease but limiting infections through sanitation and prevention will limit dieback and avoid major infections that often lead to plant disfigurement or mortality.

Common Tree Pruning Mistakes Homeowners Make

Steven Kelley Tree Services
Common Tree Pruning Mistakes Homeowners Make

Regular pruning of the tree is important to ensure its beauty and long-term health. It may seem like an easy enough task to – just grab your hand pruners, maybe take inspiration from a YouTube video, and voila! Who needs tree pruning services, right? That kind of thinking is exactly what leads to costly tree pruning mistakes.

Some of these mistakes can result in significant damage to the tree as well as your property. In this post, our experts at Chippers Tree Service discuss the most common mistakes they see homeowners make regarding tree trimming and pruning.

Improper Pruning Cut

A proper pruning cut reduces the harm done to the tree and allows it to heal fast. On the other hand, a bad cut – like a stub cut (cutting too far from the trunk) or a flush cut (cutting too close to the trunk) can permanently damage the tree.

Pruning Without A Goal

Why exactly do you want to prune a tree? Is it to increase its flower or fruit production? Or is it to get rid of the dead branches? If you don’t have a specific goal in mind, pruning can inflict unnecessary damage on the shrub or tree.

Keep in mind that improper, extensive pruning takes a lot of time and effort to fix. In some cases, the damage can never be reversed!

Heavy Pruning During The Growing Season

If you prune the tree heavily when it’s in growing stage (spring until late summer), you can end up “starving” it by removing too many leaves. Removing too many branches can also lead to damage as the tree won’t be able to shield itself from the scorching sun.

Over-Pruning

Over-pruning a tree any time of the year makes it more vulnerable to disease and rot. Remember, every pruning job matters – after all, every cut is essentially a wound. When branches are removed, the stored nutrients are removed as well, affecting the photosynthetic capacity of the tree.

Using Dull Tools

This may seem like such a small issue, but using dull loppers or pruners can create improper or rough cuts that shred/rip the bark, leading to deadly wounds.

To make sure your trees don’t suffer from the improper pruning practices, make sure you only work with a reliable and licensed tree service. Don’t hesitate to ask the company how they plan to avoid making the tree pruning mistakes mentioned above. If you have a question or would like to schedule an appointment, feel free to reach out to us.

Tree Stump Grinding vs Stump Removal

Steven Kelley Tree Care
Tree Stump Grinding vs Stump Removal

If a tree on your property has come down, your next step is to determine what should be done with the tree stump. You can leave it right there too but that can lead to safety and property damage issues. With that said, should you call tree stump services for stump removal or stump grinding?

At Chippers Tree Service, we offer both stump grinding and total removal services to help homeowners keep their property clean and safe. In this post, our arborists have compiled a list of factors that explain the pros and cons of stump grinding and removal in detail.

Stump Grinding Services

Grinding a tree stump requires specialized ground saws to shred a stump into sawdust or wood chips. The grinding machine can reduce the stump to ground level, or as low as 12 inches below the ground level which can then be filled with dirt.

This way of getting rid of stump offers many advantages, such as:

It’s quick and efficient: It takes only a couple of hours, depending on how big the stump is. Post-service cleanup is equally fast.

It doesn’t require a lot of filling: When the stump is ground, the roots stay in place and there’s either no hole or a very small hole that needs to be filled afterward.

It’s cheaper: Grinding a stump is cheaper than removing it completely.

Stump Removal Services

This option involves pulling out the entire tree stump from the earth using a tractor or a hydraulic jack. If you want to remove the risk of all the issues that come with having a tree stump on your property, including pests, fungi, and burst underground pipes, this is a recommended option.

Here are a few advantages of stump removal:

It’s easier to replant a new tree: Once you have completely removed the stump, you can plant a new tree in its place. Many people like the idea of planting a new tree in the same spot as the old one because of the sentimental reasons.

It eliminates the risk of future problems: When the stump is completely removed, there is no risk that it will rot or sprout down the line.

If you are not sure which option is better for your situation – tree stump grinding or stump removal, our experts at Chippers Tree Service will be happy to talk to you and offer their two cents. Schedule a consultation and we will visit your landscape to inspect the tree and recommend the best course of action.

At Chippers Tree Service, a professional provider of tree care services in Dallas-Fort Worth, TX, we recommend that you consider tree care experts whenever you think your trees need that extra bit of care. While tree service companies perform several tasks, some of the most common tree care services include:

Tree Trimming and Pruning

Although trees in the Fort Worth area are mostly symmetrical, there will always be a few that need trimming to correct some flaw, whether inherent or acquired. Whether the tree in your yard that needs extra care is mature or young, you should hire professionals for its trimming or any other type of maintenance.

Our trained tree care specialists take extra care to trim branches and limbs in a manner that does not have any adverse effect on the tree’s structural integrity and gives it a more balanced appearance. This ensures that there are almost no chances of any lasting damage to your tree.

Stump Grinding and Removal

We highly recommend immediate removal of your tree stumps that may turn into a breeding ground for infection-causing pathogens and pests if left unattended. Old tree stumps can be an ugly sight to behold, apart from being a safety hazard for your small children and pets.

Our accomplished tree removal experts can take care of all sizes and types of old tree stumps efficiently and in a cost-effective manner. If a stump has a complex root system, as is the case with mature older trees, we recommend stump grinding to take care of the eyesore.

Tree Removal

If you have a tree on your property that may be rotting from the inside or infected with some fungus or pathogen, or one with a weak root structure making it susceptible to toppling over, you must engage professionals to have the tree removed from your property.

We understand your reluctance to remove a tree that might hold a special meaning to you, but you must understand that a damaged or weak tree poses an increased risk to life and property. Also, if you do not take professional help from a tree removal company, there is always a risk of new trees growing in a haphazard manner as the root systems of the older tree continue living.
