Service Area · Redmond & Woodinville, WA
Redmond and Woodinville share a similar rhythm - bigger lots than the closer-in Eastside cities, more room between the house and the property line, and a rural edge that shows up fast once you're off the main corridors. Education Hill and Grass Lawn in Redmond carry mature Douglas fir and bigleaf maple canopy over established lots. Woodinville runs even more spacious, with wooded acreage and vineyard-adjacent properties where the natural character is the whole point.
Both cities take tree retention seriously, and both run on a replacement math that gets steep once a landmark tree is involved. We check the parcel against the right code - Redmond's RZC 21.72 or Woodinville's WMC 21.50 - before anything's scheduled.
Spacious lots, established canopy, and two different codes to work inside.
01
Preservation pruning on mature Douglas fir, Western red cedar, and bigleaf maple across Education Hill and Grass Lawn.
02
Acreage and wooded-lot care for Woodinville's larger, more rural properties.
03
Permit-handled removal under RZC 21.72 or WMC 21.50, with the retention count and replacement plan worked out first.
04
Formal hedge and ornamental care for the closer-in, established neighborhoods.
05
Hazard tree assessment on second-growth stands and older conifer canopy.
6" DBH
the significant-tree threshold in both cities.
30" DBH
Redmond's Landmark Tree designation.
35% retention
required for healthy significant trees on Redmond development sites.
1:1 / 3:1 replacement
Redmond replaces significant trees 1:1, landmark trees 3:1.
THE CODE
Redmond and Woodinville run on different systems — one on a retention percentage, the other on a density-credit table. We handle the permit and the math either way.
ON THE GROUND
Established canopy in Redmond's older neighborhoods, bigger and more wooded once you're into Woodinville.
Douglas fir
dominant canopy across both cities; watch for laminated root rot in second-growth stands.
Western red cedar
established trees, some with post-heat-dome top dieback.
Bigleaf maple
the defining hardwood on older residential lots; summer branch drop applies.
Red alder
common along riparian corridors in both cities; shorter-lived, worth planning around.
Vine maple
native understory on wooded lots, prone to losing form without shaping.
Redmond runs 24 to 27 minutes from our shop; Woodinville is a bit farther, closer to 35.
