"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."

"Top notch team led by Zach. They removed large dangerous trees (also Arborists), bulldozed area and prepared land for construction. Always on time and personable. They know what they are doing and are fast. We hired them twice."

"These guys are fantastic. We met with several arborists, and Brenda & Jose impressed us from the moment we met them. One tree was a problematic situation because it was our neighbor's tree that we needed to have the branches removed from our property, and our neighbor was not cooperating. Originally we planned to have the tree cut with a hedge trimer right up the property line. Jose cared enough and hand-cut each branch individually. This tree is at least 75' tall. The other two trees we in our back yard and again, the team at Altaview performed to perfection."

"The crew showed up on time with all of the right equipment and worked together to take down two trees, chip all of the branches and section up the logs... for the quoted price. No foul mouthed workers, no sketchy tactics or tools no damage to anything and no $$ games. True professionals. Wow. I would hire them again and I think you should too."

"I highly recommend Suave and Sons Tree Work for anyone in need of tree services. They did an excellent job removing a large, difficult tree that was located VERY close to our house. The process was smooth and efficient, and the crew was clean and professional. The owner, Joel, was a pleasure to work with. He was easy to contact and was onsite working along the guys during the job. All of the guys were also very friendly and respectful. Overall, we had a great experience with this company and would not hesitate to use them again in the future."

"I've engaged a couple other tree service companies in the past for my wooded home plot, but always felt like they were trying to sell me on additional items that I didn't need. One service showed up for my latest job to give an estimate and immediately began pointing out 9 trees that needed to come down "immediately" because they were "dangerous," quoting $1,000 per tree - all I wanted was trimming limbs back from the main electrical line to my house. Bear Creek sent an experienced arborist for an estimate, and he proceeded to teach me about the various trees, explained where the previous company was wrong in their assessment and that they were trying to take advantage of me. The amount of knowledge Bear Creek had, and their honesty in their assessment and not selling me on items I didn't need, showed how trustworthy they were. When they came out for the job, they arrived a little early, all wore masks, observed social distancing and other Covid related rules, performed an amazing job, and thoroughly cleaned up when they were done. They also offered to provide me the wood chips if I wanted them - I did - and they were kind enough to deliver the huge pile to a location in the back of the lot, and they volunteered to chip random fallen branches along the way. They did such a great job that I hired them a second time to clean up and chip other fallen branches and brush piles, again showed up early and did a superb job, including volunteering to cut up the remainder of a fallen tree that had blocked my secondary driveway. I'm extremely happy with the job and results from Bear Creek, and will definitely be using them as my go-to tree service company moving forward!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

A standard tree removal doesn’t include stump grinding. If you want your contractor to remove your tree and grind the stump, you must pay an extra charge. That said, you’ll likely save on the cost of stand-alone service—especially if it’s a small tree and they can finish both jobs in a single trip.

Generally speaking, you’ll want to avoid flush cuts, which are cuts made as extremely close to the trunk or main branch. These cuts can weaken your tree, lower its natural defense mechanisms, and even cause decay. You’ll also want to avoid tree topping, which is the total removal of the leader and upper main branches of a tree. 

Most pros will advise against either of these methods, which is why hiring a pro is often the best choice when it comes to tree trimming.

Yes, it can be good to remove dead branches from trees. Dead branches can lead to rot in other areas of the tree. They can also cause damage if they fall on a house, shed, fence, car, pool, or other structure or property. However, it’s important that dead branch removal is done safely. If the branch is high in a tree or requires a lift or ladder to access, consider calling a professional tree removal company, as they will have the experience and equipment to do the job safely.

The best way is to start controlling tree height long before it grows too large, via careful pruning through the years. But that’s not always possible. If a tree has become too high or too large, use selective pruning to remove the most troublesome branches, one by one, without topping the tree. Gently shaping a tree like this can, over time, correct problems. You can also find growth inhibitors to spray on a tree to stop it from growing too rapidly, but use these sparingly if at all.

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.
