Rembrandt Tree Care offers year-round, Certified Arborist consultation, full-service tree pruning and tree removal to Moscow, Pullman, Lewiston and Clarkston and surrounding areas.

Allow me to come and visit your landscape

Your free tree assessment offers information, options, and suggestions designed to reduce liability and promote the healthy growth of your landscape. During the assessment, I will analyze the different symptoms of health or lack thereof of the trees in your landscape including the type, branch structure, and growth habit of your trees. I also look for included bark crotches, dieback, stobs, wounds, signs of insects or fungus, previous topping, indiscriminate pruning, as well as the tree’s relationship to the soil and proximity to your buildings and other suburban infrastructure.

Shared boundaries

As we live in communities that have a shared forest, I often give advice to help solve issues that arise between landowners on property lines. Damage from root systems, migratory seedlings, direct or possible contact to houses, vegetative shading and or screening, debris buildup in gutters, and lichens or moss growing on roofs are just a few of the topics discussed. Realizing the possible complexity of such issues I work with tact to shed unbiased light on the subject and to raise awareness and help forward positive progress for all concerned parties.

Mulching

Many people are concluding that mulch, in the form of cardboard and chips, is an efficient way to xerescape over grass – reducing the need to water encouraging the long term health of trees in their landscape. I have often prescribed this type of soil amendment to control grass and weeds and to address soil fertility and water retention, yet no landscapers would do the work, so my crew and I can help. We can:
1. chip debris from tree work in your yard
2. weed wack or mow grass low
3. apply upcycled cardboard directly to the surface
4. cover with chips
Not all jobs supply enough chips for this use, so I can supply chips by the truck load at additional cost.

Milling

Sometimes whole tree removal is the best course of action in your yard or forested lot, but that’s not always a loss. Consider if that beloved tree that had to go found a new life as part of a building, a piece of furniture, or a work of art. In addition to chipping the brush for mulch, often the trunk can be harvested as well. I own a Timberking 1620 bandsaw and can mill logs up to 3 ft. diameter and 30 ft. long. Each log is different and requires different techniques to recover and haul, but we can talk about options as part of an assessment.

New Tree Selection

If there is a need for a new tree in the landscape I will help with advice as to what kind and where to plant. This information includes species that thrive in our environment, have little exposure to insect infestation and or other common disease vectors, reduced maintenance, color, shape, and size of the tree, and how it will fit into your overarching landscape.

Qualifications

In addition to many years of my family’s collective tree experience (since 1977), Rembrandt Tree Care is licensed, bonded, and insured in both Idaho and Washington, and is qualified to perform actions that insurance companies frequently require. I am also familiar with the different regulations that are enforced in the cities and municipalities which I service.

Business Practice

As always my central focus is to serve the needs of my clients through the creation of awareness about their landscape. If I prescribe work then I will also offer a written bid to do such work.
