"From the start of the process everything went smoothly. Initially, Ryan Seeley (certified arborist) arrived on-site to consult and prepare a bid for the removal of the trees. Clearly, Ryan is knowledgeable of all trees on this property and skilled in not only the removal, but also in the analysis of the remaining trees on the property, for future maintenance. The quote was reasonable and scheduling easy. On the day of the removal, four courteous gentlemen arrived to cheerfully and skillfully remove the three trees leaving nothing behind. They also were cognizant of other plantings and the sprinkler system surrounding the trees; careful not to disturb. Before leaving, they assured completed cleanup of the area. I will definitely use Pacific Arboriculture for future services. (Fred Fanning, Burien, WA)"

"I needed two stumps removed and this company came to my rescue. They grinned both stumps in less than 30 minutes (even got rid of the roots for me), cleaned the job site, and left. Neil was super professional and responsive and beat any other quote I had for the job. Highly recommend them for your tree service needs."

"I was frankly amazed at how good these people are: 1. They came and gave me an estimate that was as good or better than others that I had received. 2. They scheduled things in a simple way that didn't require me to even be home. 3. They then came by a few days in advance and put up no parking signs in front of the house to ensure they had place for the trucks etc. 4. They also came by and marked to the tree and a cut line so there would be no mistakes. 5. AND they took a video of the access points, the path to the tree, the tree itself so everyone involved would be familiar. 6. They then sent the first crew that made incredibly quick work of efficiently taking down a very large tree with five trunks and cleaning everything up so there was no debris whatsoever. 7. Then came the stump grinding crew who figured out how to navigate an impossible small entryway and ground the stump to nothing. 8 Finally they swept everything up and even cleaned up leaves in the garden that had nothing to do with the job. 9. At each stage someone from the company called me before and after to make sure I knew what was going to happen and then to follow up and make sure it went as I expected. It just does not get any better than this. They could write the book on customer service."

"They cut down 3 trees for us. They are efficient, showed up at scheduled time and got the work done quickly. We also have a tree that needs to be trimmed, he explains that the time to do the trimming for that particular tree is when it is dormant. Take time to explain the reasoning. We are happy with their service and professionalism."

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 FAQs, answered by experts

Pruning a tree is a yearly DIY job that involves removing small dead branches, leaves, and blooms to help the tree grow bigger and stronger. You can often complete the job with basic home gardening tools. Trimming a tree, however, removes larger sections to control the direction the tree grows in and protects your home, utility wires, and yard from potentially dangerous branches.

Poison oak is similar to poison ivy in that it's in the same family of plants. Poison oak is identifiable by its rounded-off leaves and hairy leaf texture. Tree-climbing varieties live primarily in western states while low-growing poison oak bushes occupy the eastern states. Treat poison oak like poison ivy to get rid of it permanently.

For small trees, tree removal should take just a couple of hours to complete. Assume that a mid-sized tree will take between four and eight hours, depending on the extent of the equipment required and the health of the tree. Remember to add up to two hours for stump removal. Larger trees could take as long as one or two working days, about eight hours each.

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. 

A chainsaw is the best tool to cut down a tree, but you may also use a handsaw or ax. You may also want to use a lopper or pole saw to remove limbs before cutting down the tree. Wear chainsaw chaps and protective gear, including eyewear and earplugs if you use a chainsaw. Again, if you’re unsure about how to use this tool, this project may be one to skip.
