Reading really wet and you can clearly see that the outside of the piece (under my thumb) is visibly wet over 3 weeks after it was delivered
Rich L.

It's hard to find good wood that is fully dry, especially this time of year. I have had some bad experiences with some guys that are cutting/selling their own wood so I decided to try A-1 because it appeared to be a legitimate operation. Unfortunately, what I wound up with was the worst experience yet. I ordered 2 cords from Dean. He dropped half at my place and the other half at my neighbor's a couple of doors down. His truck is a dumper so he eyeballed what he dropped at my place. The wood seemed decent and the amount felt a little light but it was night so I gave him the benefit of the doubt. The next day when I stacked it I noticed that pretty much all of the wood was wet on the outside and some of it was encrusted with snow so it had obviously been sitting out in the elements for quite some time. I also noticed that what I had was only a little more than 2/3 of a cord - my neighbor had less than 2/3 of a cord so together we were short about 2/3 of a cord - not insignificant. I tested the wood with my water meter some of it was fine, I'd say about 1/3, the rest was well into the 20's water content (it should be 20 or less), some read into the 30's meaning it was freshly dropped. All of the wood I tested by splitting it open so I would get a true reading of the dryness rather than reading off of what had been exposed to the elements. As of this morning, almost a month after the wood was delivered, a good portion of the wood still hisses when I put it on the fire even though it has been out of the elements the day after I got it. I called him up and he graciously agreed to send me a check for a half cord - seemed fair enough. A couple of days later he called back and said that he talked it over with his wife and something seemed fishy and he was not sending me the check after all. He said he knew what he had in his truck before he left his house and that someone probably stole some of the wood from my place. There was a light layer of snow on the ground with no evidence of anyone else being there. Since he was just eyeballing what he dropped from his truck, my guess is that the person before me got more than they asked for. With tax and delivery fee we paid $1010.16 for two cords of tamarack and doug fir that was supposed to have been covered and seasoned for at least 18 months. What we got was 1 1/3 cords of soaked, partially seasoned wood. He buys his wood in Eastern Washington. I am not sure if he is checking it before he leaves but he is either getting ripped off himself and does not know or knows it and just doesn't care. I'm not sure which is worse. I'd be willing to change this review if A-1 is willing to do the right thing but that seems highly unlikely.

Got my wood delivered the same day I called. I bought two cords and the wood is dry and is perfect for the fireplace.

I had not updated my account from Brush Prairie, and live in Brier WA. No need to dispute, just green wood when I was told seasoned and dry.

When I first moved into my home with a Woodstove, it was a constant battle finding good seasoned wood.

Eastside Tree Works did an outstanding job with both tree pruning and tree removal on my property,…read moreincluding handling trees that required a city permit. I really appreciated how they owned the entire end-to-end process, including coordinating directly with the city on the permit. That made everything much easier for me. The crew did an amazing job on both visits. Their pruning work was incredibly precise, and everything looks beautiful. They also did a thorough job cleaning up afterward, leaving the yard in great condition. There was a minor misunderstanding between myself and the project manager initially, but Eastside Tree Works handled it exceptionally well. They followed up with me, took the time to listen and understand exactly what I wanted, and promptly sent the crew back to complete the additional work. The crew truly went above and beyond. This was my second time working with Eastside Tree Works, and I would absolutely hire them again. I continue to recommend them to others. I really appreciate their customer service and love supporting small businesses like this. It's not always easy to find companies that care this much about doing great work and making sure their customers are happy. Thank you! And, extra shout out to Amanda. She is the best.

Under two years ago (fall of 2024), we contacted three tree services companies to get quotes to…read moretop-off three arborvitae hedges and crown-reduce/windsail/shape two trees. We opted to split the work between two companies who replied. Eastside Tree Works is one of the two companies; they were hired to crown-reduce/windsail/shape a flowering plum and a katsura tree. I waited to write the review to see how the trees recover and regrow. The quoting and initial process was very smooth and professional. Their response is fast for both the initial meet-up and providing the quote. Everything was done on their iPad, and quotes sent soon after. The task was also completed quickly. The task isn't significant, and they readily came and finished. The clean-up details are excellent. When done, I observed the flowering plum looked shapely but the katsura looked like a bad haircut. They agreed to come out and trim a stray branch that stuck out compared to the rest of the katsura crown. The katsura never regained a normal tree crown shape. It still looks like a bad haircut will a divot, v-shape at the top. See photo. The flowering plum is growing perfectly well this new spring season. Their cost is competitive.
