"Mark at NW Arbor Care followed up promptly and came out to see my project which involved trimming several very large branches from 80 feet maples. He gave me a bid on the spot which seemed very reasonable. He clearly trusted his team to work with me, and was he ever right! They were great! Four people who knew what they were doing and worked together like clockwork. They were pleasant, good communicators, knowledgable, and really good at what they did. I'm so happy with the work which exceeded my expectations. They were flexible and thorough. They cleaned up so it looked better than when they came. I will hire them for any tree trimming needs in the future."

"Pacific Arboriculture is so professional! From the first inspection, to the thorough written bid, to the scheduling and communication, and through to the execution of the contracted work, management and crew conducted themselves with absolute professionalism. Knowledgeable. As ISA-certified arborists, they knew all about my treesâ health and the best pruning and maintenance for the continued well-being, in spite of the treesâ problems. They guided me in making tree care decisions, putting my mind at ease by quelling potential hazards. Capable. You should see these guys climb trees! I have incredible respect for their agility, and their ability to make decisions when high up in the limbs, aiming for and achieving the right results. Conscientious. Every one of them were courteous, respectful and a pleasure to work with. Before they left, they cleaned up every limb and leaf, leaving my property in pristine condition. Appropriately-priced. I received a half-dozen recommendations and bids before making my choice. Pacific Arboriculture was the best choice for the above reasons, AND their pricing was appropriate and affordable. With my half-acre, heavily-treed property, I have finally found my forever arborists. I highly recommend them."

"The trees I wanted trimmed were done in a timely manner and the area was totally cleaned. There was a communications problem. The arborist was the only person on site that spoke English well. He explained what needed to be done to the foreman and left. From then on it was touch and go. Luckily, one of the young guys doing the work spoke some English. I had to watch what was being done, running from the front to the back of my yard. I was having two trees done at once. Sometimes I would catch a mistake being made, as to what I asked for, and sometimes I wouldn't. I finally was able to get a hold of the arborist and have him come back. In the end, the trees were trimmed, it wasn't a disaster, and I was somewhat satisfied with the work."

"4th time hiring American Tree Care and once again they showed up on-time, did all of the promised work - plus some - matched the estimate and was polite, courteous and very efficient. Removed a died-all-of-a-sudden tree plus another heavy-leaning tree near the telephone and power lines and then trimmed huge cedar limbs that were rubbing on the roof. In the end, there is a nice pile of shavings for the walkway, a neat stack of logs for my neighbor to have - and that's it... nothing more to clean up, nothing damaged and no surprises. Don't hire another tree service without talking to American Tree Care first - it's not too good to be true."

"Zeke helped us remove two large fir trees that were close to our home. He was able to get the trees down and stumps ground with no issues. Excellent customer service, quick response, and competitive price. I would hire again no questions asked!"

"Puget Sound Energy butchered (I mean pruned) our Fir tree about two years ago. It has been in decline ever since.  When it became clear the tree was not going to recover, we decided to take action before it became a hazard.  We sought out four 'A' rated companies on Angie's List.  After meeting with the estimators and reviewing the proposals, we decided to go with Bushman Tree Service.  Mark (estimator for Bushman) was straightforward, clearly explained every step of the process and was attentive to our concerns.
It pains me to ding Bushman in the least, but the only issue I had was with their punctuality.  Once the crew was onsite (about two hours after the scheduled time), they leapt into action.  The whole process was like a well choreographed dance.  Even as the tree was coming down piece by piece, the fallen branches were being mulched and the yard was being swept.  The whole process took much less time then we anticipated and the yard was left in better condition then when they started.  As a bonus, the crew was super nice and even considerate to our 21 month old son who was fascinated by the process.  I would absolutely use Bushman Tree Service again.

Arborists questions, answered by experts

You can shape a cherry tree by trimming vertical branches, dense branches, and intersecting branches. Your personal aesthetic comes into play, as well. If you want to simply thin and shape the tree, you can get away with trimming the aforementioned parts of your cherry tree. If you want to shorten branches, however, consider thinning cuts, which alter the length of the branches while encouraging light penetration, new buds and shoots, and a structurally-sound shape.

Your local government is usually in charge of pruning trees on public property, and the power company is responsible for trees near power lines (even if they’re on your property). Whether or not they top these trees depends on their approach to pruning. You won’t be able to do much to control this, but you can contact them to find out more about their pruning process.

It depends. Smaller, younger trees take longer to mature, but they're more resilient, their roots don't get as damaged during transplanting, and they recover faster. Plus, they're much more affordable to plant, and it's possible to DIY the planting. 

On the other hand, mature trees produce fruit faster and provide more shade and privacy immediately. Ideally, a small or medium tree is the better choice if you can wait a few years for it to mature. But if you need immediate maturity, a larger tree is the only option.

No, you should never top maple trees. Topping injures the tree and leads to the rapid growth of a weak canopy, which can be hazardous to rooftops and utility lines. Removing the crown can also leave the interior bark vulnerable to sun damage, leading to insects and disease. A topped tree can also reduce property value and permanently damage the appearance of a tree.

Some trees will bounce back just fine, and others will struggle and possibly die. Evergreens, for instance, have a very difficult time recovering after droughts and usually die after periods of extreme dryness. Usually, you’ll have to just wait and see—if the drought occurs in wintertime, it’s possible that your tree will recover during the gentler springtime.
