Hello from a local tree service in Seattle, Washington

Hi folks,

I run a tree service in Seattle called Blooma Tree Experts. We are locally-owned & operated (I live in the Ballard area personally) -- we've been around since 2007 serving the greater Seattle area community. We pride ourselves on being trusted arborist advisors to clients, and being a great small business employer as well for our talented crew.

I'm brand new to this community/forum -- I created an account because I'm curious to see if there are ways we can serve the community given the type of work we do is usually beyond the capabilities of even the most resourceful folks simply for safety reasons. (I could be wrong about that -- no worries if so!)

Our team consists of ISA-Certified Arborists and experienced tree climbers, so we can handle pruning deadwood or hanging branches from 100+ foot tall trees to mitigate safety hazards. Generally speaking, mature trees don't need much pruning (<15% of canopy), but given we are trying to co-exist with these majestic trees and protect them even in urban/close-to-urban settings, we feel it's important to proactively manage them to promote healthy growth that doesn't lead to future safety issues. Similarly, we often do structural pruning of younger trees to help "train" them to grow in ways that will allow them to become mature trees without coming into conflict with your homes or other issues.

We specialize in tree pruning and tree healthcare -- we take a lot of pride in getting to help the Seattle community have beautiful trees. If you have questions about tree care, we're happy to be a resource (I'll have to ask our arborists to reply to any specific questions of course), so just let us know if any specific topics would be useful for this forum.

Anyway, we'll mostly be readers here, just trying to understand how this community thinks about & talks about trees. But happy to answer any specific questions where we can!! You can also check us out directly at https://www.bloomatree.com/

Thanks,
Kaustubh

Hi Kaustubh, you are welcome to join us!
Paul's absolutely OK with promoting your stuff on the site, as long as it's done in a non spammy way and is in line with our values and publishing standards (which are mostly covered by 'be nice'. Have a look at this thread about promoting stuff and see if it all makes sense. If it looks like spam posts may be removed. Feel free to ask questions, preferably in the tinkering with this site forum where there are more helpful links.
We have forums generally for trees and woodlands. My suggestion would be to put a link to your site in your signature, put a watch on those forums and chip in helpfully when you can.
I hope this helps.

That makes a ton of sense, Nancy! Not planning to promote ourselves (but put the link in my sig like you suggested). Thanks for pointing me to the trees forum, I'll keep an eye on that one in particular! Hopefully we can help folks out.

“Chip In”, lol.  Most folks here will love you forever if you drop them off a load of wood chips;)

Oh giving away arborist wood chips is easy! We generate so much of them. We actually maintain a wood chip list, who we contact when we're in their area and have a truck full of chips to dump.

If you're in the greater Seattle area, you're welcome to join our chip drop list by filling out this form: https://forms.gle/Rd2pR6sjzty4uZLMA
