If, like the U.S. Marine Corps, you're looking for a Few Good Men then Fred Holmes Tree Service is the place to go in Thurston and Mason counties for all your tree service needs. Fred and Art are honest professional men who know their business and treat your job as if they were working on their own land. We've had Fred and Art on our property two times to remove approximately forty trees and smooth the land so that we were able to use our riding lawn mower over our newly cleared outdoor living space. They were always on time, paid attention to details, cleaned up after themselves daily, and performed as they promised. These are clean, trustworthy, and hardworking people that you can trust not only to do work on your property but would feel comfortable to invite into your household if need be. All our tree service needs go to these two guys and Fred's wife Ellen who handles the scheduling and financial arrangements. read more

We were 100% satisfied with the job Fred Holmes Tree Service did for us in May, 2022. Ryan carefully listened to us and wrote up a detailed and reasonable estimate on the spot which was followed through soon after. Five tall firs were limbed up and a maple cut down. We wanted a Madrona's dead branches removed and Jacob did an impressive and graceful job! We were very impressed by Ryan's tree knowledge, extensive experience, and honesty. Thanks again guys! read more

We had two enormous trees land on our roof during the strong windstorm of 2/9/19. We were in the house and only survived because the home is a sturdy log cabin. Our insurance adjuster said it couldn't be done without a large crane, yet Fred and crew did the job in one day with only their excavator and a lot of superb work. No one could have done a better job. Cleanup was fantastic! Our highest recommendation goes to Fred, Jared, and their wonderful crew. read more

Jared, Fred's son, came out and did an excellent job on a very difficult tree. It was about 60 feet tall, dead with peeling bark, next to two buildings and a fence. He took it down in sections without a hitch. He then removed some impressive widow-makers that were over a shed, again without any problems. He was both friendly, knowledgeable and courteous. I highly recommend Fred Homes Tree Service. read more
