"They are very kind, thoughtful and professional. They got the job done very well. They heavily pruned my two trees and did a very wonderful job. They are coming here next Tuesday to heavily prune my other very big tree. They were very helpful=they stopped to ask me about the different stages of pruning (if I wanted a certain branch cut or not). I felt very comfortable with their knowledge of doing the job right. They even cleaned up after doing the job. They cleaned up the site better than it was before they did the job. I recommend them to my friends, such a good tree service. Thank you for suggesting them."

"Amazing team. Great service. Super clean and professional. We had many large trees that needed to be trimmed and/or removed in addition to fruit trees that needed to be tended. I can not recommend them highly enough. They went above and beyond to be sure everything was the way we wanted and absorbed several last minute requests. All was done exactly as promised in terms of cost and timeliness."

"Ammon is the best out there. He is not like so many other service industry owners. He is always on time, always professional, and he goes above and beyond. We have hired him twice and his prices are competitive and he has even done a little extra each time at no charge. He cleans up everything and him and his team are efficient. We will hire him again for sure."

"Mike, the owner, is a great guy. His workers were hard-working, nose to the grindstone type of men. They did a great job trimming/de-sailing my very large, tall pine trees in Yelm, WA. They cleaned up great too. I will hire Mike and his guys when I decide to remove a few trees. Use them, you won't be disappointed!!"

"Martin was quick to response to my inquiry, within 24 hours of submitting my inquiry, my service was complete! We had moss removed from our roof. I appreciated that he also had the floor washed outside where the dirt and moss fell. Would recommend!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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.

If you’re planning on keeping the tree, unless the roots are invasive, there’s no need to remove them, as doing so can cause damage to the tree. If the tree has been cut down and the stump and roots are left, grinding and removing the stump can cause root decay for some species. For other species, the stump and roots will need to be removed to prevent pests, disease, and possible tree regrowth.

Tree roots are hearty and complex systems, so they don’t die immediately after the rest of the tree is removed. If you leave the root system in place, it takes anywhere from two to seven years for it to run out of nutrients. It is worth noting, however, that the roots stop growing and expanding after cutting down the rest of the tree.

Pruning trees is important for several reasons. It improves tree health and strength by removing dead, diseased, or unwanted branches, which in turn encourages new growth and can help treat disease. For fruit trees, proper pruning can lead to a larger and better-quality harvest. Pruning also enhances safety by removing weak limbs that could break and fall, potentially causing injury or property damage, especially during storms. Beyond these functional benefits, pruning can also improve a tree's appearance. To ensure pruning is done correctly for the tree's long-term health, consider hiring a professional.

The average lifespan of an oak tree is 100 to 300 years, so long as it isn’t impacted by diseases like sudden oak death. Some species will last shorter or longer, depending on where you live.
