"Skill, experience, professionalism, and a generosity of spirit We began working with Mike King and Jon Westerlund in 2017, soon after my husband Troy and I bought our house. An arborist identified several trees that threatened to fall, two on the house and three others across the neighbor’s fence. Ben and Rick, with two others helping to haul out the cut branches, packed an extraordinary amount of work into one day, taking down those hazardous trees, pruning up several others to improve both views and light, and chipping all branches. In spring 2018, we hired Kingwest again, this time for only a couple of hours, to grind a big old stump and make short work of chipping the piles and piles of branches that we had spent all winter hauling out of our acre of woods. That summer tragedy struck our household: Troy was hit by a car while out running and paralyzed below the shoulders. Mike and Jon came through with surpassing kindness and generosity, quickly clearing trees where a wheelchair ramp would need to go. Because of adaptations to make our home accessible and the need to avoid any risk of a fallen tree blocking the road for emergency vehicles, we have had several occasions to have tree work done since Troy has been home. In the photo, Ben is in taking down a Douglas fir near the road that our arborist identified as hazardous. In the wake of Troy’s injury, Mike and Jon have treated us the way they treat their crew, like family. Now we would never consider using anyone else."

"Jon was very professional. He was on time for a consultation and again for actual work. He very flexible taking on additional work I requested while on site. He sought to save a tree that was viable with careful pruning rather than simply cutting it down as others had proposed. His work was skillful and accomplished our goal. In the end his bill came in within his bid which we appreciated. I highly recommend Jon and plan to call on him for future tree removal services!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

It depends. Smaller, younger trees take longer to mature, but they're more resilient, their roots don't get as damaged during transplanting, and they recover faster. Plus, they're much more affordable to plant, and it's possible to DIY the planting. 

On the other hand, mature trees produce fruit faster and provide more shade and privacy immediately. Ideally, a small or medium tree is the better choice if you can wait a few years for it to mature. But if you need immediate maturity, a larger tree is the only option.

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.

All of the tree root removal methods mentioned above are effective on any kind of root, whether it’s still growing or simply needs a gentle nudge to finish decomposing. The only difference is that larger roots tend to be harder to remove and may require multiple chemical treatments as well as manual labor to eradicate.

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. 

Most experts recommend removing a tree that has sustained more than 25% loss in the limbs, trunk, or circumference of the bark. Doing an initial trimming of damaged and dangling branches, but then waiting a few days of monitoring to decide how much more you might need to cut can help you better assess the total damage to the tree. However, consulting a tree maintenance pro to make this determination the best course of action before removing a tree.
