"Pacific Northwest Arborists was great to work with. Keith helped me realize that my browning cherry tree was not in great shape so I ended up having them remove it. They also pruned my apple tree which looks better than it has in years. The crew was great to work with - especially considering the 90 degree heat. I would definitely hire them again."

"Definitely picked the right company, they were efficient taking down a large birch tree, cutting it in 14 inch rounds, and cleaning up afterwards. Such a great company to do business with!"

Customers say: True professional

"Unlike many of the tree services I contacted, Cabreras called back right away and arranged for an estimate within 48 hours. Although they then scheduled the work the following week, they were able to come several days early. Removal of the tree and chipping the branches took two and a half hours. I requested them to leave the chips, and they made a neat pile exactly where I asked. Although the tree was in the middle of my garden, the workers were extremely careful not to damage any of the plants. Daffodils coming up right at the base of the tree were not hurt, even during the removal of the trunk! Tree removal is expensive, but I expected it to be. This job which included the removal of a mature tree, over 30 feet tall, and the trimming of another large tree cost $2500. Given the care the workers took and the speed at which the work was done, I feel the expense was well worth it. I would definitely hire them again."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Generally, you’ll want to prune back the trunk by 1 to 2 feet each year to promote bushy growth. Doing so concentrates vegetative buds closer to the bottom of the tree, where you can easily harvest fruit. For side shoots that are a year old, leave at least six leaves. 

Never remove more than 30% of a tree’s foliage during pruning—even if your tree is really overgrown. Removing this much foliage at a time could kill your tree.

The best tool to cut trees is a chain saw. You can adjust your chain saw to the correct size based on the size of the branches, offering you the fastest and cleanest cut for medium- to large-sized trees. Depending on the type of chainsaw you use, you can cut through larger trees than you would with a more manual tool like an ax.

Some people prefer to leave or even carve a leftover stump, but we recommend removing it if possible. You can often dig out smaller trunks with a shovel once they have died and dried out. You can have stumps professionally removed, or request a service to grind them down to ground level so they can be replaced with other landscaping or objects.

The typical lifespan of a Bradford pear is relatively short, only 15 to 25 years. However, these trees have issues long before their life is over. Due to their soft wood and fast-growing branches, Bradford pear trees often split around 15 years, making them a risk for falling branches and more prone to disease. 

After a big storm, you may not be sure if a tree was struck or not. Look for the telltale long scars, like strips or gouges in the bark of the tree, running in sometimes jagged lines down the length of the trunk. These scars will often show vulnerable living wood inside the tree. It’s also common to see scorched or wilted leaves on the side or top of the tree where lightning struck.
