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.

We contacted several tree service companies in the hopes someone could work us into their schedule. We got an immediate response from James and he came over early the next day. Tree People resolved our problem within a day in an timely, efficient and professional manner. We can't recommend Tree People enough for the quality of their work and company! We have many trees on our property, and from now on Tree People will be the first we call when work is needed.

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.

It was so easy to get a quote and work was done very timely. I had a large dead native cherry removed from a very crowded neighborhood in NE Seattle.

"...well you could cut the dead off, and I guess some light pruning" -- ok, do you want to give me a bid on that? Communication with Roger proved to be difficult and I didn't want to get into the work stage of this job knowing there were problems at the bidding with comms. Roger was rude, unprofessional and didn't have any suggestions I'll have to rely on someone else to help me determine how we can keep our tree happy and healthy. I suspect Roger just simply doesn't know what he's doing.

George came out to give an estimate, and we discussed the trees and how to best handle the situation. He recommended taking off all the branches on the side of the trees that faced the house. He also pointed out that we should top the trees to prune out the leader on each tree in order to save our eaves from eventual damage. The crew came out with a bucket truck, chainsaws, and a shredder for the trimmed branches. Everything was taken care of quickly and the whole worksite was cleared of any tree debris. The only negative was that it took about a week and a half to get on the schedule and complete the job, but given the windstorms we've had this season, I'm sure they had a ton of work to try to complete. Overall excellent work!

I had eight trees removed from my property and my experience with Northwest Arboriculture was an excellent one. The entire crew of six were highly capable safety-minded individuals who showed up on time and were extremely organized and efficient in their methodology in removing the trees. They moved the cut trees safely to the wood chipper and cleaned up the property so no signs of debris was left. The team was very friendly, respectful and efficient at every stage of the process. From the initial call to the owner to schedule the bid, to the estimate visit from Matthew was a positive one that made me feel confident with my selection of this company. I think the pricing was extremely reasonable for the amount of time and effort to remove the large cottonwoods and maple trees from my yard. The six person team arrived in with their two large vehicles ready to work and get down to business. Their jobs are incredible dangerous and they made it look so graceful. They deserve my respect for what they do to safely remove the dangerous trees. I would recommend this family owned business for your tree removal needs. I will definitely have them work on my property again in the future.
