"I got quotes from three different arborists, and I felt the most confident with Mark's quote. His team showed up a little early (which is totally ok), and they were FAST. Courteous crew, and did a super job with cleanup. The results met (and perhaps even exceeded) our expectations. Because of their great work, we won't need any tree work for several years, but I know I will call them again when we are ready."

"Neil was fantastic. He worked around our established plants to not disturb them. We had cherry Laurel tree stumps in, up on a hill. He swiftly removed them and cleaned up after. We would definitely hire him again!"

"OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!! Stacy, the online contact, was very educated and friendly. Mike, one of the owners, came out and gave us an estimate. He took his time to come into our house, to figure out the framing of our view. He explained they should trim up a bit higher, because in the winter, the branches will bend ten feet with snow and water on them. Glad he said that. Then went outside to to identify the trees to cut and trim. He also showed us trees that were dead or dying. Thank you for that, Mike! They were right on time. They reviewed what was to be done. The owner was there outline what was happening. The crew is TOP NOTCH! They were very efficient and did a great job. One person cut, one was working the shredder, the other delivering the limbs and branches. WHY WOULD YOU HIRE THEM? Because they are the best in the business! They had me stand on the deck, so they could make sure they trimmed up high enough, for a beautiful view of the water. Cost effective. Made sure I was happy, before leaving. hauled away the trees and blew down the driveway, cleaned up so you never knew they were there. EXTREMELY SATISFIED! I HAVE THEM ON SPEED DIAL."

"I had American Tree Care out in 2012 and they did a great job, so I contacted Ammon last fall about coming out again and doing more cleanup in my yard. I had a dead alder tree that looked like it was about to fall over (but woodpeckers loved!) removed entirely and the stump ground. I had some really out-of-control trees on both side yards removed and stumps ground as well. And some other trees in my back yard, I had him remove what branches he felt needed to be removed in order to clean up the appearance and make them safer, and remove several branches that were hanging over neighbor's property removed so they didn't break off and drop on his plants or yard. My yard looks great and wide open now in areas where there was a lot of branches overhanging from neighbor's yards. (He pruned those back). I also had some wood in back that broke off in a windstorm that his crew cut into smaller pieces for me. They used a chipper to chop up all the branches, etc and left the pile in a place where I could spread them out to cover dirt to prevent weeds and moss. They did a great job cleaning up all the debris from the work they did. Very happy with the work the crew did today and I highly recommend them! Thanks Ammon!"

"These guys are truly professional tree removers. They removed a 100 foot tall double trunk birch tree from my front yard, and ground the stump. This was a big tree. This tree was in a very difficult spot to remove. It was right next to my house, and just a few feet from my main electrical line coming from the power pole. Oh, it was just a few feet from the power lines out on the street. I can't tell you how carefull they had to be to do this job without damaging my house, taking out my main line, or taking out the power to the rest of the neighborhood. They placed every limb exactly where they wanted them to fall. I highly recommend these guys for any tree service. I will use them again in the future for all my tree removal needs. They cleaned up the job site too. They blow off my roof, bushes, walkway, and driveway. They started at 8am and were done by 3pm. If you have a dangerous or difficult tree to remove, these guys can do it, and do it right.

Arborists questions, answered by experts

When hiring for tree service projects in Seattle, prioritize professionals with experience in local tree species and knowledge of city permit requirements. Confirm they carry up-to-date insurance and offer detailed written estimates, including cleanup. Look for strong local references and avoid those soliciting after storms or offering unusually low bids. Familiarity with Seattle’s weather and challenging property access is essential for quality results.

Helpful?

In Seattle, the timeline for tree service projects varies by scope and site conditions. Simple pruning or removing a small tree can take 1–3 hours, while large tree removals or storm cleanup may require 1–2 days. Projects near power lines, on steep lots, or during rainy weather can extend timelines, especially if permits or specialized equipment are needed for safe access.

Helpful?

In Seattle, homeowners often overlook the need for tree service permits, especially when removing larger or protected trees. Scheduling work during the rainy season without planning for mud or delays is also common. Choosing contractors unfamiliar with local tree species or city regulations, neglecting to check for proper insurance, and failing to protect nearby gardens or structures are frequent mistakes.

Helpful?

Your Seattle home is a good candidate for tree service projects if you have dead, leaning, or storm-damaged trees, roots lifting sidewalks, or branches threatening power lines. Properties with large Douglas Fir, Cedar, or Maple trees, or those blocking sunlight or scenic views, often benefit from professional tree care. Overgrown trees impacting curb appeal or home safety also signal the need for expert attention.

Helpful?

Completing tree service projects in Seattle can enhance your home’s value and resale appeal. Pruning or removing trees to open up water or mountain views is highly sought after locally. Well-maintained trees improve curb appeal and reassure buyers about property safety. However, removing healthy mature trees or excessive pruning can reduce privacy and negatively impact your home’s desirability.
