So I admit it, I hate leaving reviews. I am definitely one of those people who leaves a pissed-off review but I have a bad habit of not reviewing quality individuals and their services. Westside Tree Care and Patrick specifically are fantastic. We reached out to him back in January about removing three incredibly large trees from our property. Not only was his quote the most reasonable out of the numerous companies we had come in but honestly he, was the most respectful to deal with. I had several individuals flat-out asked me was it okay for them to speak to me and give me quotes or would I rather have my husband there. Yeah, thanks but no thanks. Patrick is respectful, will answer any and all questions, and will walk you through every single step of what he's going to do. When we had to change direction because the city would not grant us permission to remove our trees, he was able to come in and prune them back to something that I can actually live with. Let me tell you, I hate these trees so it seemed really difficult that just your pruning alone anything was going to happen to make me any happier about still having them on my property. It is three days later, and I cannot believe the difference that printing back these trees has made. We actually get light into our backyard and sunroom now. The trees are still there but they are definitely not as bad as they were are we completely owe that to Westside tree care. Every single surface that Patrick and his associate worked on was completely cleaned up at the end of the day to the point where you would barely know they were here except for a few grains of sawdust on the grass. Our patio was spotless, and there was not a straight twig or leaf or branch anywhere on our property. Patrick and his associate ended up coming back two days later to take down a problem tree at my across the street neighbors. Clearly, anyone who sees him work recognizes that he is a consummate professional of the highest level. My next door neighbor has already asked for his contact information as she has problematic trees on her property. If anyone has any questions about his work, I encourage them to reach out to me. read more

So much to love about this company! No one wants to cut down a beloved tree, but when our old maple finally died, I knew it was time. I found Westside Tree on the Nextdoor app, and I'm so glad I did! Patrick was one of the very first to follow through with an estimate--after too many no-shows from others. He even managed to get in and out of our yard for the bid without waking my dog or my kiddo... serious ninja skills! Patrick was quick to respond, flexible, and worked around our schedule with ease. On removal day, Patrick and his crew arrived right on time--ready to work, even on the hottest day of the year. They were professional, communicative, and impressively clean in their work. My 7-year-old even noticed, saying, "That whole team was really kind, Mom." When they were done, the yard looked exactly as promised--and they even picked our apples and set them aside so they wouldn't be crushed by falling branches. It's those little touches that truly set a company apart. Thank you, Westside Tree, for making a tough job such a great experience. read more

They are absolutely awesome!! Very knowledgeable and friendly. I feel like they went above and beyond to help us navigate what needed to be done on the property. Thank you for all your help! We will definitely use you guys again. read more

Patrick and team showed up on time to remove three pines from my front yard. One of the trees was growing around some wires, which Patrick and team navigated gracefully. Cleanup was thorough and fast. I am very happy with the work that this team did and would 100% use them in the future. read more

Westside Tree care came out and bid the job in a matter of hours while others didn't even pick up the phone. Professional, clean and organized company with a clear passion for tree care. Will definitely plan on using them in the future. read more

We had Pat cut down two fir tree's in our backyard. One was about 90ft tall and the other about 120 ft tall. He answered his phone and returned my calls/text promptly. He showed up on time. He took the trees down in no time and was very professional. He has all the equipment needed and is very skillful at what he does. His prices are great and very competitive. One of the tree's were 5 ft away from a storage shed and not even a single branch touched the shed. We have another 13 fir trees to cut down because they are ruining our septic drain field.....We will definitely have him come back later this summer for some more tree work. Thanks Patrick! (I have uploaded some pictures of Pat at our place as well) read more

Mr. Clemo, when you came tour my backyard in summer, my next door neighbor Barbara abruptly intruded to ask me "split the cost of her locust tree" that's hanging over my roof. You probably didn't hear her; I can understand. Your appearance that day truly suggested either a hangover or just coming out of a party, but I appreciated the call to inform delay. In fact, you were on my yard again Oct 19 creating a scene. I don't know how can you not aware who I am. My conclusion is that everything coming out of your mouth is questionable. 11/17/2015 update: Yelp wants more October 19 detail for the updated review so here it goes. Patrick Clemo was sent to my yard by a neighbor to work on their long-neglected locust tree. The neighbor gave a 3-hour notice but didn't show up. Within less than 6 minutes on my yard, Clemo instigated a conflict which I had to end by documenting his behavior before hurrying back inside. He was rude, impatient, insulting and refused to provide any related info other than demanding money from me on behalf of the neighbor. I actually did receive a Westside Tree Care invoice the next day from the neighbor for "Clemo's time"! He was openly complaining he doesn't like the neighborhood but later I found out he has an unauthentic address on the website that's exactly the area. There really weren't much interaction within 5, 6 minutes; it felt like he just showed up to create the scene and leave. Various complaints and consequential disciplinary proceedings were filed against Westside Tree Care for safety, ethical and professional issues. Clemo's client Barbara B's review that's taken down by Yelp due to fabrication and other details available on request. read more

Patrick was great to work with - it was my first time getting trees removed and he talked me through the whole process, came by on the weekend to take a second look and help me understand his process. I was concerned with cost and he actually suggested some options on what I can do do reduce the cost - really made for a confident and great experience. Highly recommend Patrick and his crew! read more

Patrick came out to give me a quote on my trees. He showed up with his baby in arm, and seemed Slightly irritated/grumpy. I was in the middle of cleaning dog poop and had not gotten to one section in the yard. He walked to that part of my yard, and as I tried to warn him about the poop he stepped in some. I already felt really bad, but he then went on to reprimand me and told me he steps in dog s#%* every day. He then cursed at me to clean the dog s#%* in my yard and immediately left. I understand being a little frustrated, but for a professional that goes in backyards for a living to be so mean to someone is crazy. It was obvious I had dogs, and he obviously deals with dog poop daily (according to him). I've never had a "professional" treat me like dirt until now. read more

Appreciated the response from Westside, he was on vacation when I first called but made sure to follow up later right away. Then, when he came by to take a look he ended up finishing the job that very day. My husband complained only that it happened so fast that he did not have a chance to add the task to the to-do list so he could feel the satisfaction of crossing it off :) read more

We had a huge, dead tree in our backyard. Very close to the house, and also on a steep bank. Pat and Eric at Westside took care of this dangerously unstable tree the same day they arrived to give us an estimate! Plus, it was pouring rain all day. Would definitely hire them again. Take a look at my pics, to see what a monster this tree was. read more

Pat really helped me out when a tree broke in a storm and was hanging precariously over the street. He was incredibly responsive, professional, and fair. I'm looking forward to working with him again in the future! read more

Pat responded very quickly to my estimate request and was able to complete my service on the same day - the top of a neighboring big pine had fallen in the middle of my backyard. He clearly stated what he was going to do - drag the smaller branches to the front of the house for chopping & chainsaw the bigger rounds. I had to leave but Pat completed everything when I was out; he cleaned up after himself and did a great job on short notice. Super happy with the service that I received! read more

Our house had a very large fir tree in the backyard that tends to have very large branches. I've lucked out in the past with them landing in the yard, but since I could see one hanging it was not worth taking any chances. I gave Patrick a call and he was able to get my way in about a half an hour to take care of the job. They were just fine with me hanging around and watching, which I appreciated and enjoyed. The big branch was lowered safely to the ground and he even cut some other branches that needed it. I felt the price was reasonable, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone needing tree services. And if you read this, Patrick, sorry about the dog crap! read more

I woke up after one of the snowmageddon nights to find several branches from the pine tree in my front yard broken and completely blocking my stairs and the sidewalk. I called a few different tree services and Patrick was the first one who was available to come take a look that day (he even gave me a rough estimate right away, based on some pictures I texted him). I found his estimate to be very reasonable, and I can't be more happy with the results. I think my tree looks much better now. He carefully removed four large branches, and made a neat pile, and came back a few days later (once the snow melted and he could drive the chipper around) to chip everything and clean up. He also had genuine concern about my tree and I'll be calling him again when it's time for a regular pruning. read more

Patrick and Lance did a great job pruning several trees in my yard. They were responsive, reliable, and did a great job cleaning up after. Their pricing also seemed quite reasonable. I would definitely recommend these guys. read more

A warning: do NOT use Westside Tree Care/Patrick Clemo for your tree work. I hired him to take down a very large tree and specifically asked him to leave 8 feet of bare trunk/stump (I planned to use it to hang a vertical herb garden from) and that was written into his bid. It is on paper, in writing, from him that he would leave 8 feet of the tree. He went ahead and took the tree all the way to the ground while I was at work, then told me it looked better that way anyway. Stay away! He does not do what he agreed to do!! read more

Great service! Pat responds super quickly to emails, came to my house for an estimate the next morning, and scheduled us when it was convenient. Great and fair price, answered all of my questions in a friendly way, even if they weren't directly about the job in question. It is obvious that Pat loves his work and is a passionate arborist. Pat and his colleague showed up at the scheduled time on time and were done in less time than estimated. Cleaned up the whole site so it looked better than it started. This is a small crew of 2-3 and they put great care into their jobs and care about doing a good job every time. Would recommend. Here is a video of the tree removal he did for us: https://youtu.be/6thh4OeUzVM read more

We requested a quote from Patrick on Yelp and within an hour he responded and set up a time to come out - that same day!! - to give us an estimate. He arrived promptly and was very professional. I'd highly recommend him! read more

I had a wide tree that nearly covered the view of the house I just purchased. I knew I wanted to have it removed to give the property a cleaner look. I contacted a few different tree service business requesting an appointment to get someone to my house to give me a quote for a tree removal. Some of the other business wanted me fill out forms or asked me way too many detailed questions regarding the tree. Another business only booked projects two months out. Patrick at Westside Tree Care contacted me and stated he can come take a look the same day I sent him a Yelp message. He gave me a very reasonable quote and was able to squeeze me in the following morning. Patrick and his crew did a great job in removing the tree and left the property clean. I will be contacting Westside Tree Care for some tree pruning and maintenance this summer! read more

Patrick is very professional and responsive. He takes his business very serious. He showed up to give me a bid on my tree. Due to the proximity of my tree to a high voltage power line he told me it was a safety concern. He was very honest about it all and gave me recommendations on how to proceed by offering me other options. Thanks Patrick! read more

Patrick is one of the 6 tree care vendors that I emailed. He showed up at the time he said he would to give estimates, provided a competitive quote and scheduled the job the very next day. The job was done quick and exactly what he said he would do. Due to I am out of state when the job was done, he provided me with pictures of what he did along with the invoice. Its a 5 star job from start to finish. I wish I can find people like Patrick when dealing with house projects. read more

Patrick did great work pruning back a couple of apple trees and removing some English ivy that had started to take over a couple of tall fir trees and some smaller trees near our property line. Even though the ivy removal was a bigger job than his initial estimate he didn't upcharge and completed all the work on time. Also super friendly and easy to schedule. Would use his service again. read more

Patrick is the man. I needed some advice on what to do with some trees in my yard and he stopped by and gave an honest assessment. I'm interested to learn how to care for my own trees and he was happy to give me a mini pruning lesson. read more

I am an out of town home owner and was in the market for tree removal service due to a tall maple tree that was threatening my home when the inevitable next wind storm hits. Patrick returned my call for an estimate quickly and was able to bid on the job and get the work done all in matter of 2 days. Him and his crew were professional, meticulous, and highly skilled. I was pleasantly surprised to see a reasonable bid on what seemed to be a challenging/tricky job and also see that the price I paid was what was quoted in the original bid. Great care was taken to prevent any damage to my home or property and the job was turnkey from beginning to end. I will surely utilize Patrick and his team for future jobs around my property and will be recommending him to my friends and family! read more

Our experience with Patrick and his associate Ryan was in line with the other customers. Patrick was the third tree service we contacted and the price was the most reasonable. He was also able to schedule the tree removal for next day. Our tree was a 70-foot tall maple that had rotted out and stood only a few feet from our house. Patrick completed the work shiftly and safely (quoted 6 hours but done in 4). He also spent the time to arrange the debris in the greenbelt behind our yard to blend in nicely with the landscape. Patrick was knowledgeable and professional. We definitely plan on using Westside Tree Care in the future. read more

Patrick and his crew are certified arborists. They know what they are doing, are timely, professional, and know how to handle issues as they arise. They removed three exceptionally large trees from our lot within two days, and were easy to communicate with. They were beyond fair with their quote and final pricing, and we couldn't have asked for a better tree removal experience! read more

We were working with Pat at Westside to take down a tree in our backyard. They came out, gave us a price, and we arranged a date and time for the removal. I had to rearrange my work schedule to accommodate the date given and they were a NO SHOW. I have the email string that states and confirms our work date but he admitted to making a mistake. In trying to rearrange a different time, we asked about honoring the cost and he became agitated and hung up on us. We returned call wondering if it was by accident but he refused to answer. I would be aware of working with this company in the future. Poor customer service, not honoring schedules, and hanging up on a potential customer does not make a good business plan. read more

I am a reluctant review writer, but I feel obligated to acknowledge great work and really bad work for others to learn from. Great service. Patrick/Westside Tree Care called back same day for setting up time for quote. Estimate returned via email promptly. Tree trimming quality exceptional. Tree's look healthy and pruned exactly in manner we requested. First tree we wanted maintained and pruned for health of tree and the other we wanted thinned for sunshine to come to our deck. Both looked great. He really cared about doing a good job for us and our trees. He also took down a large tree and cleaned up like he was never there. Paying was done after job was completed and no extra charges or changes. He did throw in some extra timing on our smaller trees for no cost but really nice. All the work is challenging and more time consuming than I thought but was really glad we hired an expert because that is the kind of work we received--quality. read more

They were very quick to respond and schedule an appointment to give me a bid. I did not end up hiring them (got a more competitive bid) but Patrick was very professional and I will definitely contact them again in the future. read more

Patrick was awesome! He was super friendly and professional and completed the project faster than expected and at what we feel is at a more than fair price. Thank you Patrick and crew! read more

Patrick and his crew are timely, professional, knowledgable about trees/pruning etc and very easy to work with. They do a great job and we have used them in both planned and emergency tree removal. His prices are competitive and we highly recommend him and will use him again in the event we need more pruning and or removal. read more

Very pleased with Patrick's work. He and his team cut down a tree cleanly in a fairly tight space and pruned some high branches away from our roof, and he did a beautiful pruning job on our Japanese maple. Prompt responsiveness and scheduling of the work, as well. read more

I just had Patrick out a 2nd time and once again I was very happy with the work he did. I had a Willow fall in the backyard where access was limited. I also had a couple other trees and bushes that I wanted removed. Patrick was quick to respond, did a great job and for a very reasonable price. I'll definitely call him the next time I need a tree service. read more

Contacted for a quote on two of my large trees a year ago, received prompt reply on Yelp, appeared pleasant. Arrived on the day planned for the estimate pretty late in the evening,I didn't think anyone would show up. Gave a rough estimate after I described the problem with my trees,and then proceeded to offer a larger, more expensive option for trimming one of my trees that would have costed me hundreds more,which I did not want and could not afford.I just wanted the service for what I asked. Said ok, I will receive a follow up with details and such, didn't hear from anyone after that. I chose another service that did an amazing job of trimming my trees for a lot less than what Westside Treecare estimated and who had remarkably better customer service, and who I will use again in the future. read more

I want to add this update to my review. After the great snowpocolypse of 2019, I'm reporting that Patrick CLEARLY selected all the right branches to take out of my dozen or so trees. I have not had a single branch fall from this huge snowstorm. Several from my neighbor's trees have fallen on my property, but not one single branch from my own trees. He knows his stuff people. read more

I found Patrick here on Yelp, and was pleased enough with his work that I'm writing my second Yelp review ever. We had Patrick & co prune all the trees and many of the shrubs at our home in Ballard. We have lots of varied trees and it was a full day job. What I loved: First, Patrick was an awesome communicator. When I originally called him I got voicemail & didn't leave a message, thinking his operation couldn't be very impressive if he didn't have someone to answer the phone. I moved on. Then he called me shortly afterwards, saying "I saw a missed call & wanted to be sure you didn't need help with something." Good hustle. Then he was consistently excellent after that about communicating - about the bid, when he would start, etc. There wasn't a single miss. Second, the work was great. I'm no tree expert so my opinion should be taken with a grain of salt, but we're very happy with the work, and they cleaned up so well afterwards that our driveway and sidewalk were far cleaner afterwards than they'd been in ages. Patrick & his colleague also ID'ed one of our trees as a white fir when we & all the other arborists who have visited thought it was a Colorado blue spruce - so they definitely know their stuff. We also liked their approach to pruning, which really respected the natural shape and beauty of the trees. Third, Patrick was just an awesome guy, as was his colleague Roger. Nice, polite, gracious, humble, and hardworking. Patrick even saved some of the unique cuts of wood for my kids. My whole family was disappointed when he finished & drove away, he was great to hang out with. Can't recommend Patrick highly enough! read more

Originally I called Westside Tree Care about coming in and having some of the trees in my backyard removed. Patrick came by and gave me a lot of useful information and actually told me the trees were quite healthy and a better option would be to just do some pruning. That's what we ended up doing and the trees look great. Patrick was very professional and took his time to answer my many questions. read more

Very quick to respond. These days just getting replies from businesses is not an easy task. Half of them do not respond. I just wanted to someone to come and assess trees in my backyard. I mentioned I would pay for an assessment. Patrick came on time and said 'nothing needs to be done.' He could've taken advantage of me as I was clueless. Didn't charge me for the travel, either. Prompt, punctual and honest. What more can you ask? I would definitely call Patrick when I need some tree service. read more

After getting several quotes for the tree maintenance needed at our new home, Patrick was an easy choice. His response time was fantastic, and when he came out to the property, he was able to articulate both an actionable short-term plan as well as a long-term plan for the ongoing health and aesthetic of our challenging landscape. He was fair, trustworthy, and obviously enjoys his work. I plan to work with Westside Tree Care for all of my arboreal needs. read more
