"I contacted 2 highly-reviewed and rated companies, American Tree Care being one of them. Ammon, the owner is knowledgeable, personable, and truly cares that you walk away having had a good experience. Price wise, they were a tad bit lower than the other well-rated company (Both were fair and reasonable in my opinion). He was able to work with me on schedule and made sure that the surrounding trees were protected while his crew was working. Hard working crew who were knowledgeable, and didn't waste any time getting to work. Excellent experience and highly recommend. I will definitely be calling Ammon at American Tree Care first"

"From the office staff to the arborist to the guys they snagged/falled the tree, it was all excellent. They were all professional, responsive, timely, and did a great job. The price was reasonable and they responded faster than any other tree company to our request. The arborist asked questions and explained things and we had the report in a day or two. The guys that snagged/falled the tree explained what they were going to do before starting the work. They worked great as a team ensuring everyone and everything was safe and identified exactly where the tree should come down. Great job everyone! Next time I have another job for tree work--from trimming to snagging--I'll definately hire you."

"Matt's team did a good job. They showed up at the time promised. Everyone was polite and professional. I lately saw some of them on YOUTUBE removing trees. Search "Guilty of Treeson" to see how they did their job."

"We had a great experience watching the guys do an amazing job of taking down our two trees in the back yard! Extreme perfection and experience not to mention bodies of steel. They were very professional and when the job was finished they cleaned up everything and took away all the wood from the trees. Our yard looked better after they left than before they came. We were amazed at the work they completed bringing down a 100 foot tree very close to our house. We highly recommend NW Tree Surgeons.. We videoed a lot of the experience since it was so amazing!"

Customers say: Quality work

"Tree-works removed 2 large trees at a fair price. The wood they left was in 2 nice stacks. It had to be split into quarter rounds to move it up to the area where we wanted it and the rest of the property was spotless. Very hardworking and professional crew. I would highly recommend."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

You can use a felling ax to chop down a tree by following the same prep and steps as a chainsaw, but be prepared to use some muscle. For trees bigger than 7 inches in diameter, it can take some time and serious strength to cut down a tree using just an ax. 

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.

Tree removal can be quite expensive, especially for larger projects, but you can use the following tips to help keep costs down:

  • Do the yard cleanup afterward yourself

  • Choose to leave the logs on your property and split them yourself

  • Opt to leave the stump in the ground and tackle stump grinding yourself

  • Pull permits for tree removal, if necessary, to avoid fines

  • Pay to have multiple trees removed at once

  • Remove tree in the late winter or early spring during off-season

The recovery time for pruning depends on how much you prune, the species of tree, and how well you care for it afterward. All trees grow new wood and often sprout additional branches after pruning. Ideally, trees should recover from normal pruning after one or two years. Heavy pruning or slow-growing trees may take several years to fully recover.

There are many signs that a tree is diseased or dying, and if you suspect that’s the case, you should call an arborist immediately. You might notice rot or fungus on the trunk or that the tree is beginning to lean to one side. Brittle branches or signs of root damage are other indicators that a tree is in trouble. If the tree is dying, it might be time to cut the tree down so it doesn’t fall.
