our services

Trees, Shrubs, Hedges, Stumps. The Whole Yard.

Most of what we do falls into four areas: keeping trees and hedges in shape, reclaiming space after a tree comes down, handling difficult or hazardous work, and providing expert arborist guidance. For larger properties, HOAs, and commercial sites, we can bring it all together in a long-term care plan.

Here’s what we do and when each service makes sense. Pick one, or call us and we’ll point you in the right direction.

01 — Maintenance & Aesthetics

For What You Want to Keep Looking Its Best

Pruning and ongoing care for trees, hedges, and ornamental shrubs. This is the work that keeps a property healthy, balanced, and well-maintained year after year.

01

Tree, Shrub & Formal Hedge Trimming

Thoughtful pruning for healthier trees, cleaner lines, better clearance, and views that still respect the tree.

02

Multi-Year Pruning Plans

For properties with significant canopy that benefits from a structured 2- or 3-year cycle. Quoted as a program, billed per visit. No re-quote at each visit.

03

Ornamental Tree & Shrub Care

Japanese maples, dogwoods, rhododendrons, hydrangeas, and the rest of the PNW ornamental palette. On cycle, by species, with timing that matches the plant's biology.

02 — Specialty Subsurface

For the space you want back.

Stump work that reclaims usable ground - cleanly and finished the way most contractors won't bother to.

01

Precision Stump Grinding

Replant-ready, lawn-ready, or pave-ready depending on what you want next. Multi-stump and acreage programs available.

02

Grind-and-Restore

Grinding plus topsoil replacement and overseed if you're putting the lawn back in.

03

Soil Restoration after Removals

The part most contractors skip. We don't.

03 — Risk & Technical Removal

For what needs to be handled.

Assessment first. Removal only when removal is the right answer — and done in the way the site actually allows.

01

Hazard Tree Removal

TRAQ-qualified assessment first. Removal only when removal is the right answer.

02

Cabling and Bracing

ANSI A300 Part 3 preservation alternative for high-value trees with structural concerns that don't require removal.

03

Crane-Assisted Removal

For trees over structures, tight access sites, or technical drops where rigging from the tree isn't safe or efficient.

04

Standard Tree Removal

Straightforward sites, accessible trees, permits handled when required.

04 — Consulting & Arborist Reports

For what needs a signature.

The work that doesn't involve a saw. Risk assessments, inventories, written reports, expert opinions. The kind of arboriculture that ends with a document rather than a chip pile.

01

Consulting & Arborist Reports

TRAQ-qualified risk assessments, tree inventories, hazard reports, insurance and dispute documentation, pre-sale property assessments, replanting plans.

02

Permit Application & Arborist Reports

Full handling across every Puget Sound jurisdiction.

03

Expert Opinion & Second-opinion Reports

When someone has told you a tree has to come down and you'd like a TRAQ-qualified second look first.

04

Pre-purchase Tree Assessments

Before you buy the house, know what's standing in the yard.

05

Bluff-stability Consultation

Coordinated with geotech engineers for regulated steep- slope properties.

06

Annual Property Reviews

Used most often by commercial and HOA clients.

Our process

How we decide what your trees need

  1. 01

    Property Walk

    A certified arborist walks the site.

  2. 02

    Recommendation

    A written plan, no obligation.

  3. 03

    The Work

    A clear date, a clear crew.

There's not always one right answer. A tree that looks like a removal candidate from the street can often be preserved with the right pruning. A stump that seems like a simple grind can have roots that change how you approach the work.

What we won't do is recommend a service before we've seen the site. The walk comes first. The recommendation follows. You decide from there - with a written plan in hand and no obligation attached.
