Our house is surrounded by beautiful, messy locust trees, one of which dropped a couple of big…read morebranches on our roof and on our power line. Andy came out to take a look and give an estimate, and while he was here we discussed other major work on another locust that would keep our roof safe in the future. I was impressed by Andy's knowledge and experience, and his estimate turned out to be slightly lower than another estimate we'd gotten, so we went with Dominant. A few days later Matthew arrived right on time with his crew. In addition to the branch removals, tree shaping and trimming, Matthew took the time to replace an old cable on our biggest locust that he saw was cutting into the bark with a superior cabling system. He and his crew were all so helpful, pleasant, and respectful of the yard and garden. Despite all the heavy branches that needed trimming, there was no damage to anything and cleanup was above and beyond. If you need this kind of work done I can highly recommend Dominant to take care of you.

Incredible and professional service. Proper diagnosis, fast responses, friendly. Will use again.read more

My neighbor and I hired Western Hemlock Tree & Stump Removal to do selective pruning on a shared…read moreWestern white pine, and the result was devastating. We agreed to pruning after a branch had previously fallen on my neighbor's house, so we wanted the work done responsibly and according to an arborist's recommendations. The tree is also classified as a Tier 2 tree under Seattle code (previously called an "exceptional tree"), which made it even more important that the pruning be done carefully and conservatively. Before any work was done, I hired an arborist to evaluate the tree and provide a report, which was referenced in the contract. Unfortunately, it became obvious afterward that they either never read the report or completely ignored its recommendations. The tree was massively overtrimmed and heavily underskirted to the point that it now looks mutilated. I am genuinely depressed every time I look at it. What was once a beautiful mature tree now looks stripped and unnatural. The company never communicated with us directly before doing the work and instead coordinated only with my neighbor while I was out of town. At no point did they review the plan with us, discuss the arborist recommendations, or confirm the scope of pruning before cutting. To their credit, they did provide a partial refund afterward, but it does not make up for the irreversible damage done to the tree or the distress this has caused. We hired professionals because we wanted careful, informed tree care -- not permanent damage. Extremely disappointed.

The quote was reasonable, and he clearly explained the expected schedule and steps. Marc and his crew were simply amazing! They arrived on time, were very polite, and demonstrated incredible skill in safely removing our tree. They made sure the site was spotless afterward. It was impressive to see such professionalism and talent. We'll definitely call them again and highly recommend their services to anyone needing tree work. We wish we could give more than 5 stars!!!!

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.

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.
