We had a large 80-foot cedar in our yard that was right next to a neighbor's house. The tree was very messy as well. The needles were always in their gutters and on their roof. Our driveway was constantly covered with needles. I got a quote from Washington Tree Experts that was reasonable. They did a great job with taking the tree down carefully so my neighbor's fence and house was not damaged nor was there any damage to our yard. The hauled most of the wood away and left some for me, at my request, to split for firewood. The crew was respectful, courtous, and the price was as we agreed. We are looking forward to a much cleaner driveway. The only problem we had was they were scheduled several weeks in advance so we had to wait but the wait was worth it. read more

We hired WTE to trim our trees and they butchered them. While the supervisor was up cutting the tops, his employees were below doing the damage. When he came down we asked if maybe they cut too much off and his response was "yeah, I didn't see what they were doing but it'll grow back." We were offered a $500 discount on our $6,000+ bill. As you can see, 2 years later, the branches have not grown back and our yard still looks horrible. We regret trusting WTE to help with our trees as they did irreversible damage that cannot be fixed. read more

WTE has removed two very large trees for us (on two different occasions) and they do great work. They're also very accommodating, polite and friendly. And, they go the extra mile in cleaning up after they're done. Highly recommended! read more

Inconsistent quality. First hedge trim 2 years ago was great. This recent trim was not. I will not hire or recommend them ever again.One side of our large hedge is uneven with the top section extending beyond the bottom. During the followup site visit, all we got was excuses and no remedy. Never again. read more

Washington Tree Experts were awesome. We had a large branch snap during the recent winds which was hanging off a dead limb on our big Doug Fir. I noticed it and called yesterday morning. Fortunately, they had a crew in the area today that finished up and were able to come check it out. They gave a quote onsite, I authorized, and they dropped and chipped the dead limbs a lot faster than I would have expected. They also left our backyard cleaner than when they arrived. Thanks to Jennifer, Joe, Skyler, and the rest of the crew! Having that down ahead of everything this weekend is a huge relief. read more

We needed 5 trees in our backyard to be taken down. After getting 2 quotes we decided to go with Washington Tree Service as it was obvious the owner understood how to get the work done and do it right. We also really liked the professionalism of the owner and reasonableness of how he broke down the project. On the day of the job the team called ahead, arrived on time, and promptly got to work. It was like an ant colony descended on the home. Guys everywhere working quickly and efficiently. The trees were taken down fast and cleanly without any damage and they cleaned up immaculately before they left. Our yard has never looked better and we were amazed at the work done. If you are considering any tree work you owe it to yourself to give them a call! read more

Washington Tree Experts exceeded my expectations. Quick for the estimate and the best price, timeline and technique for tackling my big locust tree. The team was friendly and efficient. They went above and beyond to make sure everything was done well. Good organization and clean up. These guys love trees! The new "hair cut" has given my tree a truly artsy look. Could not be happier with their work. They also ground out two stumps and did a great job! read more

I have had two instances in the past few years for a number of trees to be taken down on my property. I have always obtained a number of bids, and Washington Tree Services always comes in absurdly high! In my most recent round of obtaining estimates for a couple of trees to be taken down, WTE quoted me a price that was 1.86 times higher then the average of the four other bids. The other four bids were all very close to one another. I requested a bid a few years ago for another tree removal job, and they came in over two times the price of anyone else. This outfit greatly overprices the cost! Stay away! read more

In less than one minute--two at most and breathtaking for sure, Jennifer Wells managed to ring my doorbell this morning at the agreed upon time, then get in her car and drive off before I could respond. I was ready and expecting her, and made my way to the door, grabbing my coat on the way. I saw no one, went to the back assuming she'd begun looking at the trees like any good Arborist. No sign of her so I walked toward the front of the house, in time to see her truck backing out of my driveway at a pretty good clip, as she took off without a look back. I should be offended, but people always show you who they are...Jennifer is obviously fast on her feet, but lacks professionalism, patience or courtesy. Try Vitalitree or Seattle Tree Care; their Arborists are personable, decent, honest people who know what they're doing; they could see the damage to my birch trees from the street and both gave me valuable input and reasonable bids. read more

I hate to give a poor review because the guys in the crew were nice and cleaned up well. However, I have to warn other homeowners that this company uses spikes to prune. I hired them to prune some dead limbs on large Doug Firs on my property. I saw them using spurs and asked if that was really necessary. They told me it's no big deal and they do it all the time. I have since spoken to several certified arborists in the area who tell me it is the ISA rule to NEVER spike a tree unless you're taking it down because it definitely damages the tree and can even kill it. They say it's been common knowledge since the 1980s and a surprise anyone still does this. The spur holes up and down my trees are an eyesore and many are now oozing pitch. I think WA Tree Experts would be a good choice if you're looking to take down a tree, but if you want someone who cares about the long term health and appearance of your trees, you will want to look for a certified arborist that follows the ISA guidelines! read more

Professionally safe!!! Coming from an intensive rigging trade myself (Elevator construction), I was very impressed with the crews communication and their level of control bringing down my old growth fir and hemlock. The drop zone was no more than 4' wide in some areas that were in close proximity to glass handrails, a hot tub enclosure, and cedar fence. No structure was damaged. I would not hesitate to use them again! read more

Fantastic experience with WTE. The bid was very competitive and worth every penny to have such a friendly, efficient and attentive crew get the job done. Will be recommending to anyone who has a need. Thank you! read more

I've had WTE out to my place multiple times to tame trees I can no longer handle on my own and each time - whether it was to remove and stump grind or just prune/re-shape/clean up - they've done a fantastic job. I've had huge cypress and pine trees taken down, and big 25+ foot maples re-shaped and cleared of dead/dying stuff and crazy crossing branches. They've always been careful, deliberate, and thorough. Their crew worked fast but still took their time - pausing when they needed to confirm the details or when they ran into a complication and needed to work it out with me. I really appreciated that, and the way they clearly put safety first - for themselves and for my property. They're clean up is top notch too. A great company to work with. read more

These guys did a great job trimming some enormous branches off two enormous trees in my yard. Nothing like seeing a guy climbing a tree with a chainsaw- very inspiring! One of the trees was being trimmed so we could regain our view, and the guy in the tree was very patient as I told him which branches needed to come off. Of course once the branches started to come off, I realized there were a couple more that needed to go, and he didn't seem annoyed. They worked safely and were careful to not damage any of the bushes below the tree. And they cleaned up wonderfully. I thought the price was very reasonable considering one guy spent about 2 1/2 hours climbing around in my trees 20 feet off the ground and there was another hour or so of cleanup time. I was referred to them by my neighbor, who was also very happy. They had this service come out twice to take care of different trees in their yard. They actually took the time to get multiple quotes and said that Washington Tree Service was very good on price. read more

*Just an awesome crew and so efficient, had them trim up a large cedar tree in our backyard *Loved that they not only left us all the arbor chips but curteously brought another truck load for us to use in the beds *No BS, geterdone company and fair prices, they also really know their stuff read more

Happy with my recent experience. During Snowmageddon one of our trees had a large branch fall off. We asked for recommendations on Nextdoor and Washington Tree Experts sounded like they'd fit the bill. They were able to come out rather quickly to do an estimate, which included cutting back branches that were overhanging our neighbors' patio. It took a while to get the actual cutting and limb removal done, but that was more because of my schedule than theirs. The whole job was done quickly and professionally and I'd definitely use them again. read more

These guys were great and very professional. They were quick to make appointment to view tree I wanted removed and estimate was recieved the next day. We scheduled the removal and crew arrived and quickly and safely removed the tree. It was just a few feet from back of our house surrounded by rhododenron and rose bushes. The crew worked carefully to protect house and plants, stacked limbs to yard as we were going to do cleanup and they cut trunk into requested lengths for firewood. We were very happy with the crew and how efficently they worked. I will definitely recommend this company to others. read more

Said I was in their service area. Ha a date to meet up to do an estimate on Friday, however someone came to my home Wednesday (we had another huge project going on) without contacting us first. When I was given an estimate, I communicated this and I was told that since someone was in the area they felt it was ok to just pop on by without communicating to me first. I would personally avoid using a company who thinks it is ok to pop in and out whenever they please without communicating to the home owner. read more

Great service. I applaud their employees for their exemplary, professional, and courteous service. Each of them acted professionally and were very personable. They were also considerate of the impact their work had on our property and left the area virtually free of collateral debris. I would not hesitate to recommend their services to anyone who is considering having tree removal services, nor will I hesitate to employ them again in the future should the need arise. read more

Excellent job removing a large evergreen close to the house Prompt, courteous, quick. Cleaned up Beyond what I would have considered acceptable. They also cut the rounds shorter than the usual 18" at my request. This of course , means it takes longer to remove the tree, but they did it Cheerfully. Also, they gave the best bid for this job by far. Several outfits never even returned my call !! . read more

Washington Tree is AMAZING !!!! We had 5 trees removed from our back yard and by far Washington Tree Experts not only gave us the best price but the BEST service. The trees were removed and the debris was cleaned up. Fast, efficient and superior service. Not only would I recommend them to family and friends. I DO recommend the. If you want the best of the best this is who you should choose to do business with. Thank You For Everything. Pam read more

Wow! Great work done at our house. Removed two trees, pruned three more and removed a hedge. While the work was done quickly and efficiently, we were most impressed by the knowledge displayed. We are very confident that our trees are well cared for now, and we'll definitely call Washington Tree Experts when we need help again in the future. read more

We had an excellent experience with Washington Tree Experts completing two jobs for us, having a tree removed and another trimmed. They arrived on time as scheduled and worked efficiently. They were respectful of our neighbors and did an impressive clean up job. As I watched out the window they were able to fall every branch exactly where planned (I was slightly worried about this before they arrived). It is amazing how they were able to climb 30 feet in the air and land a branch perfectly in a safe area. The price was more than fair and they were the best estimate we received when looking. Very hard working, friendly crew. Highly recommended! read more

Had them recently remove a tree for me. My emails were always promptly replied to & the bid was competitive. They arrived when they said, skillfully removed the tree & cleaned up every bit of the mess that was made. read more

Outstanding service. They told me they would be at my house between 8:30 and 9:00 and promptly arrived at 8:30. Their bid was very competitive and totally reasonable. I will use them again for all my tree needs read more

These guys are amazing. Professional, efficient, well priced and very safety conscious. I highly recommend them and will use them again.

I hired Washington Tree Experts twice (one in late 2015 and one on 5/31/2017) to remove trees that were dying. Both times they did an excellent job! The price is very reasonable as well. I trust them so much now that I was not home for the 2nd removal. Jame's team hauled away the trunks and did a really good job cleaning the site. I will definitely recommend this company to anyone! read more

I had them out to take down a few trees that were along my septic drain field so I worried about them breaking the lines when they came down. They were very professional, made sure to avoid falling anything in that direction and cleaned up the area really well when they left. I would Highly recommend them to anyone who is looking to get a job done. Especially if it may be a bit more challenging job. They really know what they are doing. read more

This is the second time in 2 years that we have used Washington Tree Experts and they are who we will call in the future. Two years ago they removed an extremely tall fir tree that was near our house and a fence. As they climbed the tree they cut off the branches and made a nest out of them to catch the sections of wood that they cut off on their way back down the tree. When they were done, they cleaned up all the brush very thoroughly. Today we had them cut down a dead fir tree that was very tall and they used the same technique. We had them leave the branches and wood this time as it was in the woods where it was okay to leave it. I am happy to give them a 5 star rating as they arrive on time, do what they say they are going to do, and are reasonably priced and charge what the estimate says they'll charge. Their workers are nice and they do a dangerous job safely. read more

great work today guys! An enormous tree plus long overdue pruning, trimming, and cleaning.

Used them 3 times. Always gave a good bid, arrived on time and did a good job and clean up as well.

We have (9) 25' Leyland Cypress hedges in our backyard that we wanted topped and all 4 sides pruned and shaped as well as a plum tree in our front yard. We had (4) quotes on this work and chose Washington Tree Experts due to their competitive quote and excellent reviews. We are extremely pleased with the excellent quality of work and professionalism of the crew that came out to our house. The yard was cleaned up to the point that I hardly even knew a crew had been working there. Service with a great attitude doesn't get any better. I will always use Washington Tree Experts for all of my tree needs and highly recommend them to anyone! Job well done! read more

I have used their services three times. Each time they show up on time and do the job right, being careful not to damage the rest of the landscaping. Their prices are also very reasonable. That's why my first thought when a tree falls or needs taking down is Washington Tree Experts. read more

The crew did a great job taking out 5 large trees for us and grinding down all the stumps plus an extra free extra stump in one day. Very nice guys, very quick and fun to watch. This is a family crew where most of the guys are related. read more

WTE just finished removing 10 Leyland Cypress that I let get out of hand. They also trimmed a row of trees used as a screen. The bid was extremely reasonable and this crew is very courteous, professional and most important to me; very attentive to detail. When complete, they even cleaned up my neighbor's side of the sidewalk / fence and took a large pile of yard debris from my separate efforts. I'm very happy with the service and would definitely recommend them to a friend. read more

I got three bids for removing five large conifers (firs and hemlock) from my property. WA Tree Experts gave the lowest bid. They showed up on time with a large crew and did the whole job in three hours. It was a heck of a show. They did exactly what I wanted, and they were attentive, friendly, and communicative. I would definitely hire them again. read more

"Overzealous" is the most polite word I can muster. They were told to trim branches that had grown onto roofs and to thin trees for more light. Instead of cutting back from the toof, they sawed branches off at the trunk. No thinning, just branch removal. read more

I needed a smaller amount of arborist chips and they were able to accommodate that request. They were delivered in a timely manner and the driver was able to very accurately dump the chips on a tarp provided on the corner of the driveway. All and all I was very pleased with the service. read more

They did a good job (on what was agreed upon) and arrived on time for both the estimate and the job. The reason for the one star...when they arrived for the job, which was actually our neighbor's tree that was getting removed on the property line, they failed to ever let us know they were there as the scheduling person said they would knock on our door before proceeding. In the process, they removed two nice and healthy arborvitaes that we had and would have taken down the whole row of them, if we did not come out and talk to them. So not pleased at all. The foreman even slipped and said that the arborvitaes were in his "workpath". They did take some dead vegetation out for us for free, but they had to actually borrow some of my husband's tools for this and knocked a cap off of one of our fenceposts in the process. The action of taking out healthy trees and never consulting with us for work being done on our property is totally unprofessional, not to mention, the borrowing of tools and damage to the fencepost. For these actions, we will never use them again, nor recommend them to anyone. read more

Would not recommend they have done two jobs for us. The last job they came three hours late and did not call to let me know they were running late. I had to call them to see if they were coming at all! Since they were late they didn't have time to do extra work that I had requested on the phone that they said they would be able to do. I set up another day for three weeks later...got the first appointment of the day. Received a phone call the morning of saying they wouldn't be out due to snow. There was a dusting of snow on the grass only!!! The rude Jennifer told me on the phone they couldn't get their equipment out due to the snow. I asked her where it was located and she said North Seattle. I just drove to Shoreline and back at 7:00AM to 8:30AM and NO SNOW whatsoever on the roads and it is currently raining and 40 degrees. My appointment was for 9:00. Jennifer said she was looking out her window and there was a bunch of snow which is a total lie. Would not recommend this kind of rude and unreliable disservice. read more
