We were quite worried that our big leaning spruce tree might fall in a storm and hit the house, or worse -- simply no longer be there to bless the home with its beautiful presence! Trent stopped by to take a look and was an absolute pleasure to discuss the risk posed by the tree. You can tell he lives, breathes, and loves trees. I asked a lot of questions eager for his expertise. We left feeling extremely comfortable we can keep our tree, with good homework on how to gauge future risk. Thanks Trent and NW Arbor! read more

We've used NW Arboriculture several times over the years, and they've been consistently honest, ethical, competitively priced, and skilled. After our most recent project with them, I decided it was finally time to give Trent, Heather, and their outstanding team the great review they deserve. For this project, we obtained bids from three other companies in the area while waiting for Trent to come out and bid the project. (NW Arboriculture's only drawback is that they typically book out pretty far in advance, but I'll explain why that may be a good thing a bit later.) Two out of the other three local companies counseled us that we needed to remove a couple of very large trees (that we hadn't been worried about) - at a cost of thousands of dollars per tree - that were in danger of falling down due to disease or damage. Interestingly, their recommendations for which trees needed removal were not identical. The third company's estimator did not recommend the same removals, but the post-visit bidding process was strangely non-specific, and he contradicted himself multiple times during a single conversation. As we were still waiting for NW Arboriculture to come out and bid the project, we hired an independent arborist for a couple hundred bucks to come out and evaluate every tree and shrub on our property. That was money well-spent. He explained why much of what the first two companies' estimators told us was completely wrong. I suppose the generous interpretation is that they just didn't know what they didn't know. The less generous interpretation is that they're frankly unethical. When Trent from NW Arboriculture came out to bid the project, he told us the same stuff as did the independent arborist, which was tremendously reassuring. Further, the great thing about NWA is that the person who bids the project works the project. We had so many items on our bid, that I don't think things would have gone as smoothly if one of the other companies (which don't necessarily have the estimator on the job site) had done the job. Anyway, this is part of the reason why it takes so long for NWA to come out to bid; they have to balance giving estimates with actually doing work. But it's worth the wait. With respect to the work itself, the team was able to take down a bunch of trees without damaging any shrubs that they promised in advance to not damage. I think one had to be sacrificed, but we were counseled about that during the bidding process. They also were very patient and easy to work with during the trimming of some large trees, as we gave them feedback regarding the look we were trying to achieve. About 4-5 hours after starting this sizable project, they wrapped up and cleared away all debris, to the point where our driveway looks more pristine than it has all year. Then they moved on to my neighbor's house and spent the rest of the day there. I asked him if he was happy with their work, and he responded that they did outstanding work for him as well. In summary, I may not even bother with multiple bids in the future, as this process has proven that NWA is clearly one of the best tree removal companies, and unfortunately some of the others in this area are either less knowledgable and/or frankly unethical. read more

The entire experience with Northwest Arboriculture was top notch and I would highly recommend their services. 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. read more

I needed a Tree Service to take down some trees. I had a couple tall trees too close to my house. They were shedding huge limbs during snow and wind storms. Each time a limb crashed down it was causing damage to my roof and gutters. I like trees but sadly these particular trees had to come down. I own a chainsaw but no way was I going to attempt this - time to call in the pros! Northwest Arboriculture is a small professional, efficient, courteous crew of tree professionals. It was amazing to watch them work. I got a free zero-pressure estimate which ended up being the least expensive of the three quotes I received. On tree cutting day they showed up on time and got to work immediately. They climbed the trees and limbed them on the way up. And then cut them in rounds from the top down and pushed them off. They chipped all the limbs and cleaned up everything like they had never even been there. All of them treated my property with the care I would have myself. They protected all plants and other trees from damage while they worked. If you need your trees serviced or removed I would highly recommend Northwest Arboriculture LLC. read more

Trent and his team were fabulous and super professional. We were impressed with how efficient they were. We had a tree that was tilting badly and had to be removed before the forecasted windstorm. The guys were literally in and out in approximately 15 minutes, and they even cleared the wood chips and debris from our neighbor's driveway (since they had to access via their driveway). Would absolutely engage them again in future and recommend them to our neighbors! read more

We had a 75 foot branch/co-dominant trunk break from a 130 foot Douglas fir near the bluff in Edmonds during a wind storm. The branch fell on my home, my neighbor's home and demolished the fences in between. Thankfully, no one was injured. We needed help in a hurry and this was a complex, dangerous job in the middle of COVID19. We interviewed several outfits and it became clear Trent was the man to take on the job. Trent and his amazing crew did an incredible job, being mindful of safety and attentive to detail all along the way! I am so thankful to these guys and I would highly recommend them to anyone needing any sort of tree work done. Truly extraordinary to watch them do their work!!! THANK YOU!!! Trent, Matt, Paul, Eric, Kyle & Vance. You came, you saw, you conquered! read more

We had him come out to check the trees around the house to make sure we're safe in the next storm. He was friendly and very thorough. I appreciated the fact that he explained everything so I can understand. He made suggestions, but didn't try to upsell me by saying I NEEDED to do anything. I would definitely suggest Northwest Arboriculture. read more

Trent and crew are the best of the best! Great service great prices and they are very knowledgeable and professional. We have used them twice and are using them again. You can't get a better tree service. read more

I should have written this review years ago. In 2012 we had a very large cedar that cracked and needed to be removed before it fell onto my house. This was not a straight forward job. The cedar spit into 3 and the part that needed to be removed cracked off of the main base. The section of tree in question was 80+feet tall and 5 feet in diameter. Trent and his crew has to use a crane to secure the tree, cut, and then lift each section over my house. The process was exciting and terrifying to watch. The guys were amazing and left my house looking like nothing happened. read more

Trent and his team did a fantastic job pruning our very large and tall hedge. They clearly understand trees and treat them with respect. They pruned our hedge with an artfulness that exceeded my expectations. After pruning, they hauled away a huge amount of greenery and left our lot looking fantastic. Since they had to use my neighbor's driveway to get access, I was a little worried about how our neighbor would react, but he told me he was as pleased as I was with the work that was done. I will definitely have them do all of our tree work. read more

In the recent storms we had a giant branch fall on our house and pierce our roof. Trent and the crew were awesome and prioritized getting it resolved for us before rains started again. Trent communicated with us during the day about his timing. When the team arrived they were super efficient and friendly, managing to get the branch removed and everything cleaned up even though it was late at night. Thank you!! read more

We have used Trent and his team several times. Trent is a serious and competent arborist. He did a great job saving our flowering cherry tree. He also made a valiant effort to save our Maple tree. Most recently Trent responded within a few hours to clean up our badly damaged Sweet Gum tree damaged in a windstorm. I highly commend Trent for your tree service needs. read more

These guys are the best! I've used 3 other tree services in the last 15 years with mixed results. NW Arb came out last week right on time, did exactly the work I requested, didn't try to sell me on anything more, cleaned up thoroughly and carefully, and had a great attitude the entire time. They have all the correct equipment to do the job, and do it safely (I was very impressed with their safety gear and use of it). Thank you! read more

Very competent guys and do a clean job. We needed to have cedar tree removed that was extremely close to the house. They came on time, were friendly, very efficient and thorough. They were done within an hour and cleaned up the spot nicely before leaving. Definitely highly recommended, will call them if I need any more tree services. read more

Trent and his crew is professional, well equipped, friendly, efficient and clean. I hired him because his offer was reasonable and he was the only one out of three Arborists I have met that found my cherry tree has damages by Cherry Bark Tortrix. Will not hesitate to call them again when I need any tree services in the future. Highly recommend Trent and his crew to viewers who need the service. read more

NW Arboriculture trimmed 2 large trees and cabled our big cedar last fall. They were a pleasure to work with, very reasonably priced, and I knew their work was safe- for our house and for our trees. Had them back out for another estimate and will be scheduling work this summer. read more

We first used NW Arboriculture in Seattle around 13 years ago. Trent trimmed and stabilized a beautiful redbud that was starting to lean over the rockery above the sidewalk. We have continued to use the company every other year since moving to Bothell. Trent prunes and thins two lovely cherry trees that frame the front walkway, and he and his crew prune the maple trees and keep them away from the roof. The crew cleans up everything before leaving. I totally recommend Trent and his team. read more

Very professional, very reasonable rates, on time and work done as promised. I recommended them to a work colleague and my colleague said they had the best prices and did an excellent job. My contact was Lonnie and he's the real 'Spider Man' read more
