Service Area · Sammamish, WA
Sammamish combines mature conifers, established neighborhoods, larger lots, and properties that stretch from the plateau toward Lake Sammamish and the surrounding foothills. We work on Douglas fir, Western red cedar, bigleaf maple, hedges, ornamentals, and other mature landscape trees throughout the city.
Tree removal is closely regulated here. Sammamish generally treats conifers 8 inches DBH and larger and deciduous trees 12 inches DBH and larger as significant trees, with permits required for removal. Heritage trees begin at 22 inches DBH and landmark trees at 32 inches DBH.
