The banners feature a great shot of owner Martin Macauley hand-pruning a Seattle Heritage Tree, a majestic Black Walnut tree. Since we do boast TWO ISA Certified Arborists, we like to emphasize our prowess in pruning trees the proper way. We do also remove trees and grind stumps--we are your full-service tree care professionals!

Blooma proudly announces its new trailer wrapped with a beautiful ad created by Graffix Inc. of Seattle. The trailer contains our powerful stump grinder, ready to roll out and eat up those unwanted stumps.

The beautiful photo used on the ad shows Blooma owner, Martin Macauley, climbing a Seattle Heritage Tree on Queen Anne in the summer of '09. We were honored then to be asked to prune this beautiful Black Walnut tree, and we are honored to use the image for our ad.

The Blooma Tree Experts: Josiah, Martin, Drew, and Chris.

Most people think of cupid, roses, and flowers when they think of Valentine's Day. But Jackie and Bender, the morning DJ team at Seattle's KISSFM, had a different idea this year. What if people had old mementoes from their exes? What could they do with those old cards, old teddy bears, and old pictures? The answer: feed them to the powerful wood chipper of Blooma Tree Experts!

This morning, from 7 - 9:00 a.m., the Blooma Tree Experts were down in Tukwila for the "Vindictive Valentine's" promotion. One man fed the chipper with his ex-girlfriend's t-shirt, a woman tossed a menu from her ex-boyfriend's restaurant into the steel teeth, and another man threw in a baseball bat (?).

Our favorite was the man who showed up with a wood side table that his ex had left in his apartment. Before he could feed it into the chipper, he took our axe and busted it with all his agression. Then he tossed in the pieces, and soon memories of his ex were obliterated.

He's sizing up the side table . . .

He swings his axe . . .

Gone!

So you've got a tree stump in your yard. Grind it? Or leave it? Here are three reasons to get it gone:

#1. Aesthetics!                  Fun but tacky.

Tree stumps are, at best, unattractive. At worst, they detract from your yard and property value. We've all seen people try to turn them into stands, placing a bird bath basin on top or perhaps a sculpture, but that really doesn't disguise the fact that it's a tree stump. It's much more beautiful to remove the stump and replace it with a beautiful shrub, tree, or flowers.

#2 Tree Shoots!

Some trees just keep sending up shoots, even after the tree itself has been removed. These shoots or suckers grow out of the stump, ending in an unsightly mess. If you didn't want the tree there in the first place, you aren't going to like scrawny suckers.

#3. Destructive Bugs!                       Carpenter Ants

It's just a short walk from a stump to your foundation. Stumps attract carpenter ants and termites. These hungry insects can move quickly to your house and move in. Most carpenters we know always remove stumps in their yards--they've seen the damage of these insects firsthand. In addition, wasps and bees like stumps. These insects will not destroy your house, of course, but you may not want to invite them into your yard!

Stump grinding is the answer to these problems. A stump grinder wielded by a professional can reduce your ugly stump into a nice pile of mulch, perfect for your garden. If there are large roots that have disrupted your lawn or raised the sidewalk, those can be "chased down" with a stump grinder, too. We've yet to run into a customer unhappy with their stump gone!
