It was a pleasure to work with Skylar, Jeremy and Mia on our tree pruning project. Skylar listened as we did the walk through and then they went to work applying their knowledge, tree skill, and creativity. Jeremy skillfully navigated the cedar trees with a rope system and hand saw. They went above our expectations clearing blunt cuts and dead wood. Clean-up was efficient. We now have more light, a greater view of the lake, and the breeze moves more freely through the trees. We hope to hire them again in the future. read more

They always send someone out to evaluate the tree right away. They seem very knowledgeable. They have maintained one of our large pine trees for years. read more

The most amazing tree care experts in Seattle! Smart, hard working, and friendly. Big thanks to Jessie, Mia and Emerson for cleaning up a damaged tree and opening up our view. We would recommend a call to Seattle Tree Care 100%. read more

Excellent service provided by well-trained tree experts. The work from start to finish was efficient and professional. Reasonably priced for the work completed. Jesse and Devon communicated the work to be completed when they arrived and upon completion made sure I was informed and satisfied with their work. Highly recommend this tree service , by far the best I have ever used in Seattle. read more

Seattle Tree Care is incredible. Extremely professional, efficient, and fairly priced. They removed two enormous trees on our property and left everything incredibly clean afterward. The crew worked like a well-coordinated team the entire time with zero hiccups. Special thanks to Peter and the crew for a job exceptionally well done. Highly recommend. read more

We have an old tulip tree whose branches had grown too heavy in one direction and reached far over our roof in the other. The tree is loved by the whole family and we needed trustworthy care to ensure its well-being in addition to our safety. This team took care to only do the work we specified, respecting the tree's natural wildness and shape while also providing practical thinning. The heavy branches were removed and the roof is now clear. What stands out is how a neighbor described watching them work - he said they were like careful artists, choosing between even the smallest shoots. Another friend said the result was similar to the trimming of a bonsai master. Our tree is much happier, relieved of potential breakage, and we still have the shade covering needed as the front of the house faces West. As a lovely touch, my yard and driveway were left cleaner than before the work had started. They even took away a pile of leaves I stashed in the corner of the yard that I didn't have room for in the compost. Absolutely worth the investment. read more

Seattle Tree Care - Final result! - Tree Services Near Me - Seattle, Washington

We used the same tree service for 8 years and when they became too expensive, we decided to get a few other bids. Seattle Tree Care was reasonably priced and provided some of the best service we've ever experienced. Connor came to our home to provide a bid, gave us recommendations in addition to addressing our requests. He was very knowledgeable, knew each type of tree and the best approach to caring for them (I also loved how the bid had photos of each, which limbs outlined, it made it easy to understand what was going to be done). STC had a slight delay to get on the calendar (busy summer season), but the three arborists that came to our house did a *phenomenal* job. I work from home, and when I went out to walk the dog, they'd ask questions and explain some of their decisions, and the amount of clean up they did was incredible. I was shocked at how my yard (which hadn't been landcaped yet, since we just moved in months prior) looked so much better. These 3 were thorough, careful with the *large* limbs they had to remove off our very mature trees, took down a couple of dead trees and hemlocks that grew too closely to our home, among many other things. They were here two full days, if that gives you an idea of the scope of the project. If I could give higher than 5 stars, I would. Thoughtful, polite arborists, that did an absolutely fantastic job, and went above and beyond on clean up. We have so many varieties of trees, some that had a lot of dead wood, some that had heavy, large limbs that hung over our house, some that needing sprucing up. Highly recommend. read more

I called last week to schedule a visit and was set for Wednesday -- no one showed up and no one followed up. I called again today and was told I'd get a call back, but once again, nothing. It's clear they don't care about their customers. That's why I'm giving them a 1-star review. read more

Jason Harmon from Seattle Tree is about as incompetent as they get. He gave me a bid for a project shortly after a storm knocked a tree onto my apartment building and mentioned it would be a few weeks until they could get to it. I was totally fine with that schedule. A few days later I called the main office to see what forms of payment they accept. Immediately received an arrogant text from Jason cancelling my project and accusing me of "trying to sneak onto the schedule". In the end I am SO GLAD I didn't go with Seattle Tree Care. Found someone else who finished the job a few days later at half the cost. I own a lot of property in the Seattle area and I'm very active in the real estate community. I will make sure to point my peers away from Jason and Seattle Tree. read more

Seattle Tree Care did an excellent job with a ROW tree removal and stump grinding between my property and our neighbor's. While there was a bit of miscommunication that delayed the stump grinding to a later day, that part of the job was also completed flawlessly. Big thanks to Jesse, Jeremy, Mia, and Keagan - they worked seamlessly as a team to remove a medium-large birch tree in just a few hours and left the area spotless. I highly recommend this company for any tree removal project! read more

From start to finish they were professional and easy to work with. Took care of everything with the city and showed up on time. Super-fast and clean. Very friendly and answered any questions I had. Sad to see the tree go but, they made it a little less painful. read more

Came on time, removed the tree with care. The plentiful plantings surrounding tree were undamaged! The crew was pleasant, knowledgeable, and skillful. Simply could not have asked for for a better experience. read more

My experience was very poor communication. Workers did not bring the proper equipment to complete the scope of work. Miscommunication at office. Late for appt. I can't recommend this company. read more

We have used Seattle Tree Care for several years and always appreciate their work. They are professional, easy to work with, understand what we want done and do excellent work. The price is not cheap but it is reasonable. We highly recommend them. read more

After seeing my review, the owner reached out to understand my concerns and frustrations. He listened, asked questions, apologized, and offered to make it right. Love to see this type of respect and ownership from a business owner. He also said he would be working with his crews to make sure they were always professional and respectful, and he appreciated knowing our situation to work on it. Very pleased with this response and his willingness to make things right! read more

I had a huge branch from a Pine Tree come down that blocked the sidewalk and part of the street. Seattle Tree Care responded quickly when i called and sent out Sarah, an Arborist, and then with Mike who did the work with a colleague. They did an excellent job, all in one day, and cleaned up the mess afterwards. I also thought their price was reasonable. I would hire them again and highly recommend Seattle Tree Care. read more

Update: STC have redeemed themselves. They immediately responded to my complaint and were very apologetic, accepting full responsibility for having dropped the ball on amending my bill in a timely manner. They gave me the discount for the damaged bush as well as a discount for the trouble I went through. Mike Lair came to see me to express his regret at what I went through and said he was hoping to win back my trust in the company. He had an opportunity to do that today when several very large branches from the cedar fell on the sidewalk, luckily not doing damage to people, cars or property. He responded very quickly when I contacted him, took care of the fallen branches and came up with a plan for how to address keeping the tree healthy and safe. We all make mistakes. It's a valuable quality to acknowledge a mistake and make restitution. read more

My garden had become The Secret Garden as it was so overgrown, to the point where I couldn't deal with it anymore. I found Seattle Tree Care via Google and did my vetting: A+ BBB, Reviews were awesome--so I called for a consult. Dylan and his 'tree climber' associate were very nice, very informative and listened to all my thoughts adding in their thoughts when needed. The day came for the garden renewal (mind you, this was a Fir Tree, Magnolia, Rhodies, two Japanese Maples, taking down a small Yew Tree, and a few other large bushes that had become trees). Four people came, the site manager took me around to show me their plan, prior to lunch break she did the same to ask what I thought and my thoughts for the rest of the work that day. At the end of the day, once again the walk around, with me claiming my amazement at their work, how nice it looked, the plants were all light and airy now---it truly was a huge project done very efficiently and with very nice workers. Since I did not obtain other bids, I can't speak for value--but I can say that the cost seemed in alignment with my prior pruning of only two trees in the past. I did not think the cost was outside of an acceptable range. I would highly recommend this company based on my experience. I know there are other not so great reviews on YELP; but my experience was totally their opposite. The staff was responsive, great at communication (I was notified by text the team would be arriving 10 minutes earlier!), stellar work and they cleaned up the property of all debris created and just general tree debris. I just can't say enough good things! Thanks Seattle Tree Care for a wonderful experience and stellar work! read more

Huge maple fell on my very steep roof. It was a tough removal that another, bigger company said they'd do and then chickened out of. These folks arranged their crews to accommodate the emergency, showed up within hours, and took care of the problem for a truly reasonable price. I was so impressed! I'll be using them for more maintenance around the house, because I am surrounded by scary old maples! read more

At about 7 pm on a dark and windy Thursday night, a very large red maple cracked in half and a good portion of it fell onto an adjacent tree and a fence with our neighbors's cars barely missed. The next day, on a Friday afternoon, Seattle Tree Care was in our backyard inspecting the tree, determined we were in a really hazardous situation and provided an estimate. I accepted the estimate late that afternoon and on a Saturday morning a very capable crew, including the owner, was on site with all kinds of equipment including a major chipper. By the end of the day, the entire tree was removed, the stump was ground down to grade and the site was raked clean. For us, avoiding damage to our house and two adjacent condo complexes was of tremendous value. While I would never wish this experience on anyone, we feel very fortunate to have found and used a company with this level of expertise and service and would recommend them whole heartedly. read more

The two stars are for the guys who trim hedges. They did a good job, were hardworking, and effective. The Project Mgr for a different aspect of our yard had a blasé attitude about the time-sensitive issue I called about. He was resistant to my questions on the phone, resistant to visiting in person to diagnose the problem, and gave me patronizing "Don't worry, I'm on it, you'll hear from us" attitude before finally disappearing without doing the work. He wasted my time. Now let's see if the tree survives. Zero stars. read more

Excellent work trimming many trees in our backyard. Everything was cleaned up thoroughly and I was even able to get some mulch before the crew left. Thanks to Jeremy and Adam! read more

Another great job by STC at my house yesterday, pruning 4 trees (including a giant cedar). Especially notable: QUALITY/THOROUGHNESS. Prior to performing the work, STC sent over a certified arborist for a free consult with me about what I wanted and what was best for my trees' health, appearance and maintenance. I got a written estimate and knew exactly what would be done. On the project day, the team was careful to follow marked-up photos by the arborist (e.g., showing what limbs to remove) as well as to check in with me to confirm that I was getting what I wanted. VALUE. 6 hours by a skilled 2-person team - including climbing that cedar in a harness - cost me a little less than my other go-to landscaping company, and much less than other companies. This was a lot of work for a reasonable fee. Even if I'd DIYd the portion of the work that within my skill set, it would have taken me several weekends; STC did it all in half a day. They even offered a discount for pruning done in this dormant season (Jan/Feb). COURTESY. As usual, STC sent me a week-before reminder email & day-of text to confirm the day and time. The team was friendly and answered all of my questions. They cleaned up thoroughly, were thoughtful of my neighbors, and even (at my request) left me a yard of fresh wood mulch they'd chipped from the prunings! read more

We had a huge 90 foot oak tree pruned and trimmed away from our house; Seattle Tree Care did a wonderful job. They knew exactly which branches had died and needed to be removed. I have total confidence in them; work was artfully done and complete cleanup afterwards. The tree looks beautiful! read more

Seattle Tree Care recently removed a 40' tree that had succumbed to disease and did fabulous fine pruning on mature pine specimens and surrounding understory trees. Crew as always, willing to discuss specifics, work well as a team and provided excellent cleanup even within existing planted beds. STC is our first call when needing services in our arboretum! read more

One of the weirdest experiences I've had in Seattle. Inquired about a tree trim. "Arborist" came and took a look. Weeks later no response. Multiple messages left to inquiry about the status of my tree service... multiple responses "I will contact your Arborist." Weeks later... nothing. Twilight Zone read more

What an incredible professional and courteous team. I have nothing but positive statements to make about this company. I received 6 quotes for this job. Two large trees approximately 60ft tall, spanning over mine and my neighbors property and home. Ethan was the only person who legitimately knew the species of tree and was able to offer an honest assessment and quote. Although not the cheapest, they came highly recommended from other professionals in the industry. When it came to the tree removal, Peter and the team were able to effortlessly cut and swing the branches back onto my property. The whole job was completed efficiently and professionally. I was extremely impressed with the level of care the team showed whilst working at a breakneck speed. I strongly recommend Seattle tree Care, and would actively seek to use their services in the future. Thank you. read more

Shout out to Peter and his crew! Peter carried out our 100-foot tall hemlock by crane without so much as mussing the leaves on the rest of the landscape. During this emergency operation, the team was professional, on time, courteous, efficient... and the cleanup left our yard looking better than before. Looking forward to a night of worry-less sleep tonight! read more

Responsive, polite, and great job! Labor Day I got home from a hike at our small condo and I hear a bunch of cracking and popping down on a hillside on Fremont Ave. This tree looks awful and I show some neighbors around and we all freak out it's going to fall onto the street and crush a car or person. I called the emergency number and someone on call answered and came out in 30 minutes! (I do live right up the street from their HQ.) Peter(?) is wearing a mask and immediately takes a look and says the tree is "actively failing" and needs to be taken down ASAP, because it could fall on Fremont Ave like we thought. He rushes back to get a crew together (on Labor Day evening) and comes back about 2 hours later to cut down the failing tree with another guy, using a different truck that had a long cherry picker. It took them about 30 minutes to cut it down. All neighbors were out watching for the excitement. All were impressed. They left the trimmings and left open the side walk that night. The next morning they came back and chipped all the rest, sweeped up all the saw dust, and left us some cords of wood for us to use in our fire places this winter. It wasn't cheap, but in a crisis scenario where we needed it taken care of immediately, they were very professional and easy to work with! We had a neighbor two properties down sued for everything he was worth because a tree fell on a lady a few years back on Fremont Ave. He ended up having to sell the property to be able to pay the out of pocket costs! This was not going to happen to us, thanks to the emergency response by Seattle Tree Care! read more

I recently purchased a home and there are 2 large trees on my property. They look fine to me, but I am no expert. I asked to have someone come take a look at them and assess whether or not they are healthy or if they need to be taken down. Their response: "In your area, we typically only take on large projects that average ~$3k-5k." It's icky to me that a company--no matter how good they are--would throw out numbers before even seeing a project. It makes me feel like they would charge $3000 even if it's only a $500 job. I certainly would have no issues with paying $5000 if that is what it costs, but... I have no doubt that they are very good at what they do. They are obviously busy and can afford to filter out jobs: I get that. But don't pretend like it's anything but insulting to try to filter out the poors. read more

Andrea from the Seattle Tree Care team was extraordinarily professional and fantastic to work with. They even offered a free quote which was thoroughly produced and competitive. They clearly are passionate about what they do. We highly recommend working with this team! read more

Jason, an in-house arborist, came and gave me good advice and additional information where to salvage wood. Excellent service from him.

I wish I could write a positive review about Seattle Tree Care because in the past years their service, professionalism and diplomacy would have warranted 5 stars. We share a common area with our neighbors one street above us. (We live on the west slope of Queen Anne). So, they want the view and we want the privacy. Seattle Tree Care has been very good about accomplishing both goals. This year our portion of the invoice increased by 55% over past years' invoices. Our neighbors' invoice increased by a commensurate amount. And, to be clear, this year they did much less work. You should be aware you will be charged for travel time, lunch time and breaks. While I understand businesses wanting/needing to make up for their lost revenue from the pandemic, it is worth noting Seattle Tree Care worked throughout the pandemic (they performed our trimming last summer as always). So, it is both surprising and unfortunate they have decided to gouge us their loyal customers. When I questioned the invoice, I was met with an arrogant and condescending attitude. We will, of course, pay the invoice. But, the good news is there are other tree services in the Seattle area from which to choose. Seattle Tree Care has now lost two formerly satisfied customers. read more

This was one of the most professional companies I worked with in Seattle. Well-organized and on-point. Did a great job removing a deteriorating 60' tree right next to the house without any damages to the property. Left the yard clean and neat. Would definitely work with this company again. read more

First I'll say that I didn't hire Seattle Tree Care, but that's actually the reason for this high rating. I asked them to come out and assess two trees in my yard. One of which seemed like it might be falling over and the other was looking diseased. My thought is that both may need to come out. The guy who came out was friendly and helpful but what impressed me most is that he didn't recommend doing ANYTHING for a year and to see how the trees did. It's so rare to get a company give a recommendation that doesn't include writing them a check. Seattle Tree Care definitely has my business when I need them. I trust they have my needs in mind. *There is a glitch in Yelp, I don't live in San Francisco and never have. I live in Seattle. read more

Had Tree Cycle remove 2 large trees from our front yard. I'll save you the details but tell you this. One of the most reasonably priced and professional services out there. The Crew was quick, efficient and cleaned up all debris from the tree removal. Not sure if i'll be removing any more trees anytime soon, but can easily recommend them! read more

Seattle Tree Care was quick to respond to our request for service. They were kind, professional, and exceeded our expectations. We had a knowledgeable crew that was a pleasure to work with. The limbed up a large overgrown landscape and removed some shrubs and trees that were crowding. The clean up was top notch as well! Looking forward to having this crew back! read more

We had six large trees that needed serious yet caring pruning. We've had other providers out over the years and the project never seemed quite complete - so I went shopping. Peter (co-owner) came out and spent some quality time assessing the project and provided a quote the next day. While Tree Cycle was in the middle of the pack in pricing, I felt very comfortable with the project plan and decided it was worth a few extra bucks to make sure it was done right. Living in an urban environment, several different "constituencies" emerged from the woodwork on the day of the project. Peter and his team listened to each and discussed plan modifications with me as we moved forward. As project owner, I feel 100% satisfied with the result and highly recommend Tree Cycle to others who require professional, caring work with their trees. read more

Peter and his team were the bomb! We had a 76 year old (I counted the rings) Atlas Cedar in our tiny urban backyard that was in desperate need of removal. Peter, the business owner and lead arborist, is absolutely amazing. My two year old son and I sat with jaws open for hours on end watching him as he scaled the tree and took it down, limb by limb. He climbs with nothing more than ropes and a chainsaw dangling precariously from his body, which he wielded with precision and expertise. I was amazed. You can't help but develop a lumberjack crush when watching these guys work! While it took them an entire day and the next morning to complete the job, and they made a huge mess of the yard initially, I have to say they left it completely clean and tidy. They even replaced and re-cemented a couple of cinder block stairs that broke under the weight of some fallen logs. When I asked them to come back and trim a fruit tree and hawthorn tree, they again did a fantastic job, and left us with the cleanest stretch of sidewalk on our block. One final hurrah: they left me a very nice slab from the tree's base, which I can turn into a memorable table top from our ancient and beloved tree. Call Tree Cycle. You won't be sorry. read more
