I've had the pleasure of having Urban Arborist do work for me a few times over the past 15 years or…read moreso. I've found Ian Scott, who is the owner and principal point of contact, to be courteous, prompt and professional. Jobs with him always start with a site visit, where he looks over the work that needs to be done, makes suggestions, offers advice, and ultimately provides an estimate for the work that needs to be done. His estimates are always accurate (I've never had one go over), and his team is thorough in the work they do. They do all manner of tree work, including removal (including large trees), thinning, even sculpting and trimming. His team is also trained to scale large trees with climbing equipment, so they can thin and trim even in very tallest of trees. I will continue to use Urban Arborist into the future, and highly recommend this local business.

Early this month was the second time that Ian at Urban Arborist did tree work for me. I was very…read morepleased with the ease of setting up an appointment, the reasonably quick timing of an appointment to do the work, the price, and his attention to what I thought was important to attend to.

Our plum tree was dying and had shifted away from our yard and was leaning over the neighbors'…read moreyard. It was sad as it had given us 17 years of beautiful blossoms and plums, but we didn't want it falling on anyone and knew it had to go. My hubs Marcus called Ballard Tree Service for an assessment and they came out quickly. They handled the tree removal permits with the city and we were able to book a removal date a few weeks later. Jake the arborist and his two crew members did a fantastic job removing our tree! They had to remove it carefully while not disturbing the neighbors' maple trees and other plants that were very close to it. They were prompt, friendly, and efficient. They thought it might take three hours but it took them only about 1.5 hours. They also asked if we wanted any of the tree for firewood or projects. We said no, so they took away all the branches, trunk pieces, and debris. We were pleased with how the whole removal process went. A few days later, the office contacted Marcus to see if it went well and if we had any feedback or requests for them before they sent us an invoice. Great customer service! We highly recommend Ballard Tree Service and would definitely hire them again.

Treee133 thoroughly impressed me; I was extremely pleased with the every aspect of our interactions. Everyone involved was knowledgable, professional, and very friendly, from initial contact through the free assessment/estimate and finally to the work crew who came out to handle the job. They were prompt in all their responses, showed up when they said they would, and finished the work quickly and cleanly. I could not have been happier with the outcome. I will not hesitate to call them again If I find myself needing similar services.

We had both safety and view concerns with the trees on our property. Tree133 was extremely…read moreprofessional all the way through - prompt, timely, organized, focused on safety and tree health, meticulous in pruning, property protection, and clean up, detail oriented and courteous. They weren't the cheapest or the most expensive bid we got for the work; but they were the most professional, the most organized, and the most focused on both the aesthetic work of the trimming AND the health of the trees. They are a great company to work with if: you want the work done well, the first time. You want your trees and property to look better afterwards. You don't want to worry about a person accidentally catapulting off a hundred foot tall Douglas Fir on your property. You value arborists that show up on time and are a well organized, detail-oriented team. On my research: One company reached out to us for tree work when we first moved in - their quote was triple what Tree133 ended up charging, so I put the work off for a couple of years. When I decided to get quotes for the work: another company was nice, but did not show up when we asked them to for the quote because I wanted to walk through the work with them, took a week to deliver the quote, and was half of what Tree133 ended up charging. A third company didn't even call us back. A fourth company was so disorganized that we couldn't even set up a time for a quote.

James came out and looked things over, understanding what I needed. He pointed out one tree that need some TLC, which I appreciated. The resulting bid was, we felt, very reasonable, so we scheduled the work. The crew of six arrived and within about two hours, had the work done and everything cleaned up. I would highly recommend this business to anyone looking for professional arborist work.

If you have a stump that needs grinding, Jacob at Stump Grinding Northwest is your guy! I started a project on Yelp on 5/2/26 by requesting a quote from sno-king stump grinding (no response). Yelp offers a way to send the same project to multiple businesses, and I'm lucky it does! Jacob, at Stump Grinding Northwest, was quick to respond on Yelp (5/3/26) and by text after I sent him my information. He set expectations up clearly that he'd try to make room to stop by for a free estimate the same week and would let me know 1-3 days in advance. He also informed us that he typically gets the work done the same day if the quote is accepted - nice! I heard from Jacob on Wednesday, 5/6/26, that he had space for our estimate the following day. He confirmed he'd be there in the morning and sent us an eta of 8:30 around 8:00. The quote was fair and he explained the reasons for the range. A little after starting the grinding, Jacob had me come down to look at the progress. He showed me the depth he was going to (~8in) and the massive, melon-sized, carbide teeth-breaking rocks he was dealing with in the earth. He passed along some info about stump grinding blades and then continued his work. We checked out the final product together around 10am, and he said he'd come back if we found any remaining stump not to our liking. Jacob said he'd send an invoice later that day with the charges. We chatted for a bit about trees, insurance, and home ownership; then he was on his way. Now I continue building out my garden on level ground! We had a great experience with Stump Grinding Northwest, and I bet you will too.
