We hired Sonshine Tree Care in late November 2025 to consult with us about the care of several…read moretrees around our home in Stanwood, WA (Yelp may show our location as Honolulu, but we're in Stanwood!) We were very impressed with Evan, the certified arborist at Sonshine Tree Care. Evan consulted with us for one hour about the needs and care of various trees around our house, including three Pacific Madronas, four Yoshino Cherries, three Quaking Aspens, one Golden Chain (I'm not certain that is the correct name), two apple trees, and two Dogwoods. Evan is very knowledgeable and an excellent communicator. During the one-hour consult as we walked together from tree to tree, Evan answered all our questions directly and succinctly. He also offered relevant insights about tree care and pruning, including whether and when pruning is advisable, proper management of soils, and how to support healthy root structures. Throughout our conversations Evan clearly and efficiently educated us about the highest priority tree care issues specific to our existing trees, and offered suggestions for the selection and proper planting of tree species we are considering for the future. Evan did not hesitate to acknowledge specific areas where his current knowledge was limited--a sign of a true professional confident in his practice. We enthusiastically recommend Sonshine Tree Care and would not hesitate to hire them for tree care tasks that are beyond our own limited abilities.

The entire staff was very helpful, nice and polite, friendly and everyone "(SMILES )" . They are really punctual and went the extra mile and treated us like family. Their work ethics are unbelievable; they didn't let bad weather snow, rain and wind deter them from getting the job done!!!!!!! They worked from sun up until sun down and they even finished a day early.......Wow, we will be using Sonshine Tree Care for all of our future projects and will tell everyone we know about the great work that they provide........ Thanks again Sonshine Tree Care!!!!!!!! The Bennett's Hope y'all enjoyed the BBQ!!!

I waited almost 72 hours and had heard nothing back from them. I reached out to them again and this time someone did answer the phone. When I said that I had called and left a message a few days ago and that no one had return my call, there was no apology. When I asked about having someone come and give me a quote for a water feature, I was told that if the project wasn't at least $7000.00, they would not come out. This information would have been helpful if it was stated on their website. Because of this, I've wasted almost a week. I will never recommend this company.

Dissappointed in our graded, rocked and seeded yard. Very…read moreexpensive for what we got. We feel like we would have saved thousands by just having yard graded and us seeding ourselves. We were charged for killing off vegetation and ferterlizing grass during application, but do not believe that was done. Still have many noticable rocks in yard with huge weeds growing among our sparse grass in 6 wks. Had 10 starter trees planted and a couple rocks added to rockery,however, paid $8,500. for these services. Already had to buy 4 huge bags of grass seed!

After all that fuss they still had to resort to rakes to get it up, which they should have done in the first place as the considerate and eco-friendly alternative. They must be paid by the hour. This is how they operate every time they work on my neighbor's yard, year round, even when there aren't many leaves to collect. Please don't waste your money, damage the Earth, and tick off your neighbors by using them.

His price was very competitive, and was I amazed with the work him, and his other worker did. It was a 2 day project. They raked up all the weeds, took their time. No rush whatsoever.

They did a horrible job. They didn't level out the yard before they installed the sod and it had lumps, bumps, and ditches all over. They must've used a low-grade sod because part of the yard washed out and the grass died out within three weeks. They quoted me a price of $5000 , a $2500 deposit and $2500 upon completion. When I attempted to pay the final payment they informed me that they have forgotten about the 10% sales tax and that added up to another almost $500 that I had not agreed upon. We had to call them back to re-do half of the yard. All and all I would not recommend these people to my worst enemy.

Their bid was about half of what we'd been offered by the other companies who came out and they actually recommended doing something different with the lawn than we'd been planning on which came out to be a lot cheaper and will make the yard look better longer. I was also impressed that they tried to be considerate of our neighbors who we share a driveway with. In order to access our yard they had to park right in front of our neighbors garage, blocking them in, so they pulled out all of their equipment and then moved their truck down the hill and out of the way. They got the job done quick, were happy to answer some questions I had over the phone the next day and were just generally very easy to work with.

Once the fence was done, they came quickly, on time, and the men working were extremely friendly. They gave us a paper with proper care instructions, and said if I had any questions, to let them know. The whole process, set up to clean up, took about an hour. They parked on the side of our driveway, not to block the garage. We are renovating, so our driveway gets blocked A LOT because other companies are not paying that close of attention. When they were done, they came to the door again and gave us extra seeds in case there were any weak spots, asked if I had any questions, then they were on their way. They smiled and said have a great day. It's so nice to start the morning with pleasant people like that!
