Chances are, if you’ve ever tried to grow something here in the Valley, you have had one of two experiences. It either takes off like a weed and you can’t seem to tame it no matter what you do (bougainvillea, ocotillo, bird of paradise), or you can’t seem to get it to grow evenly no matter how much coaxing you give it (grass).
When it comes to trees here in the Sonoran Desert, though, that is a completely different story. They seem to be at the whims of Mother Nature. That’s why it takes an expert to take care of them.
If you are in the Mesa Red Mountain area, that’s where Tonto Trees come in. They have a team of experts ready to help you no matter what your arbory needs are. “At Tonto Trees, we understand that each tree and property is unique,” said owner Scott Brogi. “That’s why we take a personalized approach to address your specific arborist needs. Our tailored solutions ensure that your trees are cared for in the best possible way.”
Those services include tree thinning, removal, and stump grinding. Tonto Trees can also take care of the cleanup if you lose a tree during one of our fierce and unpredictable monsoon storms.
“Tonto Trees was very professional and removed a large mesquite tree for a very reasonable price. Scott was very professional,” said a review written by Kyl B. on the Tonto Trees website.
“I was able to get a tree removed that fell on my driveway the next day. A++ service and prices,” Colleen B. said in her review.
Scott and his wife, Tina, are using their years of professional experience, he as a corporate CFO and accountant, and she as a professional photographer, as their background for running Tonto Trees. They decided they had done their time in the corporate world and created a new kind of service for their neighbors and friends.
“We have traded in our calculators and cameras and now we’re focused on helping our neighbors here in Northeast Mesa in communities like Las Sendas and Mountain Bridge keep their trees healthy!” Scott said.
Tonto Trees’ partners are property owners in Las Sendas and Mountain Bridge, so the company’s arborists not only understand the trees, how they act, and what they need, but they know and understand their customers’ needs, too, because they are neighbors.
Scott and Tina live here locally and are also very familiar with the rules and requirements that go along with living in a Master-Planned community, making sure your trees stand up to the rules.
“We take arbory and the health of your trees very seriously, and even reuse the resulting mulch to support area horse stables and local landscaping businesses,” Scott said.
Daytime high temperatures are starting to ever so gradually retreat from the triple digits and fall weather is about to settle in. That means it’s the right stretch of weather to care for your trees, Scott said.
“We offer a fall special where we will take 10 percent off the free quote, which we are happy to provide you with anytime to encourage you to get your trees trimmed up now!”
