"Mark, owner of the company is very professional and gave estimate for the trees. He also helped in providing the arborist  information in permit form. He came with his crew on time on the  schedule day and completed the work with in 5 hours. They also did the nice clean after the tree removal. I am very much satisfied and use them in future for my other services.

"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."

"4th time hiring American Tree Care and once again they showed up on-time, did all of the promised work - plus some - matched the estimate and was polite, courteous and very efficient. Removed a died-all-of-a-sudden tree plus another heavy-leaning tree near the telephone and power lines and then trimmed huge cedar limbs that were rubbing on the roof. In the end, there is a nice pile of shavings for the walkway, a neat stack of logs for my neighbor to have - and that's it... nothing more to clean up, nothing damaged and no surprises. Don't hire another tree service without talking to American Tree Care first - it's not too good to be true."

"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

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?

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?

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.

Helpful?

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.
