"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."

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 trim just one side of the tree, especially when that side is growing near something like a power line or a home. Pros will carefully trim the tree back until it is safe from that structure. While this is common, it also needs to be done with the utmost care, as pruning or trimming away at one side of the tree may make it structurally unsound. This instance is yet another where hiring a pro is wise, especially if power lines are involved.

Hiring an arborist or tree surgeon is usually more expensive than a standard tree company, but it is often worth the investment. Arborists have education and certifications that standard companies typically lack, leading to a more professional, expert-level service. Their expertise is particularly valuable for diseased or infested trees, as they can ensure safer removal and help prevent the issue from spreading. Additionally, arborists may be necessary for work near power lines, as uncertified companies are often not permitted to service these trees. If your goal is to preserve the health of your trees, an arborist is the best choice. Their services, such as stump grinding, are also performed with greater expertise to ensure a safe depth that won't cause your lawn to collapse over time.

Trees provide many benefits, including shade, habitat for local wildlife, and cleaner air, so it’s always a good idea to try an alternative strategy like crown reduction before you chop one down. But sometimes, cutting down a tree is the only option (like if it’s severely diseased). A licensed arborist can assess the tree and recommend the best course of action.

Generally, avoid trimming trees in the summer (with the exception of pruning fruit trees as needed). Trees use a lot of energy in the summer, most of which is relegated to new growth. If you chop it too early, you could stunt the next season's growth. Again, when in doubt, do some research based on the specific tree type.

It’s not always easy to tell when a tree is dying, although signs like dropping branches and brittle bark can sometimes offer clues. It can also be difficult to know whether a tree is dead or dormant, especially if it’s a deciduous tree. You’ll want to wait until a growth season to get a good idea of a tree’s health. When in doubt, contact an arborist for a consultation.
