Tree133 gets my strongest personal endorsement. If you're planning to have tree work done in the Seattle area, look no further I called Tree133 about removing two small dead trees from in front of my house and trimming branches overhanging our roof. 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. read more

See all

We had both safety and view concerns with the trees on our property. Tree133 was extremely professional 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. read more

This review is based purely on customer service and speed to reply. I sent an email to Tree133 and gave a general idea of what I was looking for with my trees. They called me within 15 minutes of my email and gave me some feedback based on where I live, unfortunately I live too far away and the cost wouldn't be worth the services. I appreciate being told that up front and not being "sold" something. Craig (the person I spoke to) then gave me two recommendations of companies in my area that he knows that I could look into instead. Fantastic customer service and a pleasant conversation. read more

Carter identified the one tree of all on our property that needed attention. Great follow-thru and communication. The crew was on time, completed the work in about 3 hours , with thorough cleanup. I highly recommend them. read more

I didn't end up using Tree133, so this review is strictly for their customer service which was hands down the best out of all the businesses I contacted. Both Joanna and Craig were personable and professional. I reached out on Yelp for a quote and Joanna got back to me within an hour to schedule a visit for an estimate, which happened within a week. I also received a confirmation email with the date and time of visit. On the day of the estimate, Craig reached out and let me know he was on his way. A stark contrast to some of the other businesses who either 1) didn't reply at all, 2) confirmed they received my RFQ but didn't get back to me until days later, 3) called with no warning asking if they could visit within the hour, or 4) set up a time to provide an estimate and then just no showed. Craig, a certified arborist, took his time with the estimate and provided an abundance of knowledge, which was extremely helpful for a tree newbie like myself. He didn't attempt to upsell and provided realistic expectations of the services he recommended. Craig even took the time to research a tree and its growth potential after his visit, providing me with even more decision making knowledge. I received an extremely detailed estimate by the end of the day, which was reasonable, but unfortunately, outside my budget. Otherwise, Tree133 would have been my first pick. If you have a thicker wallet and are looking for a professional that knows trees inside and out, and certainty that the job will be done well and with care, call Tree133. read more

We didn't select their bid, but they were timely, informative, and way more competitive than I anticipated given their professionalism. Planning on going with them next time. read more

Tree133 is the first and probably the only company I would recommend to anyone needing experienced service for their trees. Even when I initially had contacted them asking for a very specific service that they did not provide, they did not ignore my message, but went out of their way to put me in touch with someone who did. And later when I did have a project that I needed their help with, they knocked it out of the park. I had a small tree that needed to be removed. I expected it to take a three man crew and half a day's time. Landon showed up and finished the job in a couple hours and had the place looking better than when he started. Every person I came in contact with at Tree133 (Joanna, Craig and Landon) was so helpful, professional and friendly. You definitely feel that there's a personal touch to their customer service. I can't recommend them highly enough! read more

I haven't had professional tree pruning done before, but I was very impressed with this company. Working with them was a great experience from start to finish, beginning with my visit from Craig to discuss the job, the prompt and clear communications that followed, the visit (on time!) from a pair of communicative and courteous arborists who did the pruning, the followup call the next day to make sure I was satisfied with the work, and the billing & payment process. The work looks great! I highly recommend Tree133. read more

3133 did an excellent job pruning two older trees on my property that had been neglected for sometime. They were thorough with the first meeting to go over in detail the plan and what I wanted and extremely meticulous day of the tree trimming. Their quote was also extremely reasonable. Highly recommended for any projects! read more

I highly recommend Tree133. They expertly pruned my Japanese maple and a fig tree. They're honest, highly qualified, and licensed with the city of the Seattle. They know how to prune without damaging or killing your trees, unlike some shady "landscaper/arborists" that will happily destroy your trees with a chainsaw. I thought Tree133's pricing was reasonable considering their knowledge and expertise. If you're shopping around for someone to prune your trees or you need an arborist's opinion, this company is the best! read more

Tree133 pruned a Deodar Cedar and two Black Walnut trees for me. They were very professional, prompt and thorough. These certified arborists climb the trees to reach even the most difficult branches. They safely lowered limbs by rope to avoid any property or utility line damage. All debris was removed and the yard was meticulously cleaned before they left. The work statement estimate was clearly defined, expectations were properly set and every detail was communicated. I wish all businesses were this well run. The crew was friendly, considerate and conscientious. They weren't the least expensive, but I believe they delivered higher quality and value than I'd get elsewhere. read more

Service provided:Tree pruning. So professional from start to finish. Having dealt with 3rd rate arborist companies, these guys are a breath of fresh air and really reasonable. Thanks so much for the great advice and care ! read more

Utilized Tree133 for a project at my home and my experience was terrific. Everything was handled incredibly professionally including scheduling and the actual work. I especially appreciated meeting Craig and learning about the trees that I have and how to best take care of them. Would recommend Tree133 to others without hesitation! read more

We worked with Craig to have an arborist inspection of a Douglas fir that we were concerned about in a neighbors yard. He was extremely helpful, thorough and knowledgeable on the subject. He offered a variety of options for us to consider including risk assessments, general inspections, etc. We had a great experience working with him and his team I highly recommend him for any arborist specific work! read more

I was totally perplexed as to how to deal with a problem and needed a really thoughtful, professional arborist who knew their business inside and out AND who could give me solid, straightforward advice. The good folks at Tree 133 came through with flying colors. They are clearly thoroughly experienced and highly qualified arborists who not only successfully deal with difficult trees and shrubs, but also gracefully and professionally handle the possibly trickier business of working with the people involved with the trees :-). Joanna very generously listened and responded with terrific strategies that worked better than I could have ever imagined. We are so lucky to have this great firm in Seattle and I look forward to working with them again in the future - they are totally stuck with me as a life long customer! read more

They did an amazing job. We had a large cedar that needed to be removed, as it was too close to our building and cracking the foundation. They have excellent communication. I was informed what was going on through every step of the process. I would highly recommend this business. read more

We have a large, 150' Douglas Fir in the back yard that has dropped a limb or two over the years when there is heavy rain after a significant snow event. Tree133 carefully evaluated the tree and recommended a no-nonsense maintenance approach that allowed us to keep our big beautiful tree gracing our neighborhood while minimizing the risk of limbs heavy with wet snow breaking off in the future. The work was completed as planned and everyone was professional and great to work with. The tree looks green, healthy and natural after its trimming, with the full height preserved. read more

Tree133 was great to work with when a neighbor and I wanted some trees removed. Great communication, the price for the work was a good value and I got a follow up phone call to make sure I was happy with the work. This is a rare business that obviously takes a great deal of pride in the work the do and the relationship they foster with their customers. read more

Had two large cedar trees in our backyard evaluated and trimmed by Tree133. Craig's inspection was very thorough and educational, and gave me a good deal of confidence about the health of the trees and their impact on the property. On the day of the trimming work, the arborists were respectful, worked quickly, and cleaned up thoroughly. Would return again for any tree-related needs. read more

I had a positive experience working with Tree133 to do a relatively small job (too small for some of the larger firms) of pruning back a couple of trees -- one that was rubbing against our home. I found them using the International Society of Arboriculture "Find an Arborist" tool so I knew they would be thoughtful in their approach. They were quick to respond to provide an estimate. Their prices were competitive to other bids I received. Like all other arborists, there was a pretty long wait between bid and getting the job done (~6 weeks), but throughout the process -- from bid to completion -- their communication was clear and they stuck to their schedule. They arrived on time on the day of the job and completed it as discussed. I was emailed an invoice that I could pay online. Overall, I had no issues with working with them and would recommend them to others. read more

I've worked with Tree 133 for a few years now and they are consistently "terrific." The crews are friendly and super knowledgeable and their work is always amazing. STRONG recommendation. read more

These folks are really great. Very knowledgable and truly helpful. They didn't try to over sell us but just sincerely worked with us to save our old tree. The price point was very reasonable as well. The fellows that showed up to do the work really knew their stuff. With some companies you get the feeling that they just sort of send out anybody who can "fit in the shirt" but that was not these fellows. They knew exactly what they were doing. read more

Tree 133, Craig and Joanna and crew, are the best. Craig and his arborists are thorough, knowledgeable, careful, and respectful. It has been a seamless experience working with them; they worked on fifteen of or trees... from a large birch on down to some feather-leaf maples in containers. I HIGHLY recommend them. read more

Tree133 did an excellent job with a flowering dogwood that was growing into a power and communication line at my house. Unlike another service I talked to, they took the time to describe their assessment of the tree's growth with me, and how we might prune to optimize for the tree's health. I appreciate that they explained that some branches near the power line would not continue to grow vertically, so that I didn't need to worry about them getting caught in the future. They truly care about customers learning about tree health and about doing as much as possible to preserve trees and foliage. I highly recommend them! read more

Absolutely 100% positive review and service. Craig and Joanna are the best. We have historically used the two largest and best known tree services in Seattle to prune our trees both are national operations, and we asked for a quote. We then noticed Tree133 in Volunteer Park, they were doing pro bono work and teaching a seminar on tree safety to other arborists. All of their trucks present at the park were immaculately clean. Their web site is great as well. Given the level of expertise and professionalism, we were expecting a higher price than the national companies, in fact it was meaningfully less! Joanna keeps the place running, and Craig is the arborist extraordinaire. He travels internationally to keep up on the latest techniques each year. The man loves and knows his trees. He has multiple crews that work for his Company, and floats between their jobs. The crew guys were all superb as well, polite, on-time and conscientious. We have two 100+ foot evergreen trees. The arborists climbed to the top, and pruned the trees by hand - no chain saws - no noise. Even the chipper / shredder they use was the quietest we have ever encountered. This is a superb, world-class, yet small and locally owned business that deserves all the support we can give them. A true asset to the community, and while we do not require tree service that often, we hope they are around for decades to come. read more

Super passionate team that is really helpful and kind.

I gave Tree133 a call since I felt like I'd neglected my trees long enough. Craig was super responsive and we had an appointment set up for the following week. I knew I was going to enjoy working with Craig as soon as he said "hello". He has one of the most approachable personalities and I immediately connected with him. His professionalism and knowledge came through in spades - a true "tree whisperer". He took time to walk through the entire yard with me and explained what he saw with each tree...even using laser pointers to highlight observations on our towering pine trees. I felt heard and understood all of his points. He put together a very detailed line-item-by-line-item estimate and we started work a few weeks after. He arrived on time, treated the trees and now we will continue working with him, checking off one item at a time...no pressure. Craig and his team at Tree133 are EXACTLY the type of company you want to work with...now if only he was a plumber, electrician, carpenter... read more

Tree133 provided excellent service for a tree maintenance project we had done February 15, 2023. About two months earlier, Tree133's lead arborist and a credentialed tree risk assessor, Craig, performed a very thorough evaluation of the tree removal, trimming and bracing work I needed done on our residential property. He provided many helpful suggestions and was fully engaged with me in planning the work. He was highly skilled in preparing a detailed proposal that guided the crew from Tree133 who did the work. His scope of work made it easy for the crew leader, Jacob, and I to review the items to be completed when he arrived on site with his crew. Throughout the process, Tree133 kept me informed of scheduling and requirements for on-site space for their equipment. The work was the quietest tree trimming project I have ever experienced, as the power saws were all battery powered. There was no roar of chainsaws which usually disrupt the peace and calm of a neighborhood. All the work was accomplished to my complete satisfaction, including a very thorough cleanup of debris. I definitely would have Tree133 do any future tree maintenance on our property. read more

Tree133 recently cut back a large tree in my backyard that hard branches hanging over my roof. They were professional, had great communication, and were very detailed and careful in their work. I would highly recommend them and will definitely use them again in the future! read more

We have been clients of Tree133 for at least 5 years. They are a fabulous company! Trees are sacred to me and all of the team members of this company are highly trained in looking after the long term health of these important members of our ecosystem. Every service requested has been done expertly. The team is very personable, they listen carefully, and are helpful with advice when questions are asked. You definitely get true expertise and value for money spent. read more

It's clear that Craig and his team love their jobs and they are darn good at it. Craig helped us with the trees we inherited when we bought our home. Sadly they'd been pretty hacked at by the previous caretaker. Craig gave us thorough honest feedback and took such good care of our trees. He is super knowledgeable and a certified arborist. I highly recommend!! read more

Working with Tree133 was a great experience for us. They were professional and courteous, always providing clear and timely communications. Tree133 quickly provided us a reasonable quote for our trees (a red oak, two strawberry bushes, and two white maples) and were able to get us on their schedule in a timely fashion. When they came out to do the work, the arborists were kind, professional, and did excellent work. Our trees never looked so good! We will definitely be using Tree133 in the future. read more

Highly recommended! Craig was friendly, knowledgeable, and took great care of my trees. He took the time to educate me on what was best for my trees and the reasoning behind it. Joanna was super easy to communicate with regarding scheduling and payment as well. Everything went smoothly. :) Thank you! read more

One of our oldest trees needed major work and Tree133 performed such a beautiful job. From start to finish they were easy to communicate with, transparent on pricing, scheduling, and protected all elements around the tree while they were removing large limbs. The crew was great and I really appreciated how they cleaned up everything before they left. The driveway and walkways were blown clean in addition to all branches removed. I would absolutely use them again and will recommend to our neighbors! read more

I had a great experience working with the team at Tree 133. Not only did they do a great job adding dynamic cables to our large grey pine, but they were extremely knowledgeable and had a very competitive price. Will definitely use them again in the future. read more

I had a great experience with Tree133! 3 of my large firs were in desperate need for safety pruning, which meant that expertise really was necessary and not any company could perform this type of work. Craig and Joanna were easy and quick to communicate and were always friendly, professional, and knowledgable. I highly recommend! read more

I had a great experience working with Craig and Tree133. He was quick to respond to emails, texted when he was on his way, took time to explain all of the steps he was taking, and the work looks great. I am very happy overall. read more

We had a fabulous experience working with Craig and Tree 133. Craig did a very thorough walk of our entire property, assessing the health of each of our trees, addressing our concerns and also educating us along the way. His crew had all of their work done ahead of schedule on the day of our tree removal, he coordinated every bit of the prep work (city needing to clear electrical lines, renting a lift) and didn't expect to be paid anything for the additional time he spent on those details. They cleaned up the worksite so our yard looked better than it did before they started, we were able to keep all of the chips and wood rounds from the removed tree. Everything was wonderful and we will absolutely have Craig out again for future tree care on our property. Can't recommend him enough! read more

Tree133 was the best price and the best service we have had. The fastest too at reducing the size of our hedge. The crew was friendly and professional. I highly recommend Tree133. They also volunteer in the Lake City neighborhood so support a company that supports the neighbors. read more

I, unfortunately, cannot recommend Tree133 as I think they are an example of what is unfortunately too common these days: people doing their job poorly AND treating their customers terribly. Tree133 was recommended to me by my garden consultant and friend and so I hired them without pause to prune, remove dead branches, etc...from my large cherry tree. Well, the end result seems barely touched. There are still dead branches and also areas that are classified as "Deranged"...basically, the classic areas for any pruning to be done. I sent 1 photo of a dead branch example and 1 photo of a "deranged" example to Tree133, assuming they would correct the poor job they did. The owner said they would come and correct ONLY the two instances I sent photos of! When I confirmed that they would not fix the entire poor job they did, I told them not to bother. My garden consultant and I will never work with Tree133 again or recommend them to anyone again. read more
