Service Area · Bothell, Kenmore & Lake Forest Park, WA
Bothell, Kenmore, and Lake Forest Park combine mature Douglas fir, Western red cedar, bigleaf maple, wooded residential lots, and creek-side properties. We handle pruning, removals, stump grinding, hedge work, and arborist services throughout all three cities.
Tree-removal requirements vary by jurisdiction. Lake Forest Park is especially preservation-focused, while creek corridors, wetlands, steep slopes, and shoreline areas can add review requirements throughout the area. We check the property and applicable city rules before work begins.

Lake Forest Park Tree Rules
one of the more preservation-focused systems in the area, with major and minor tree permits, arborist review in some cases, and replacement requirements.
Kenmore Tree Rules
tree removal is governed by Kenmore’s own significant-tree, development, and critical-area requirements.
Bothell Tree Rules
many routine removals can be exempt from permitting, but significant trees, retained trees, critical areas, and shoreline properties can require additional review or an arborist report.
Shoreline & Critical Areas
Lake Washington, the Sammamish River, streams, wetlands, and associated buffers can add tree-removal and mitigation requirements. In Lake Forest Park, the Shoreline Master Program applies within 200 feet of Lake Washington.
