“Adam, Nick and Gage did an absolutely outstanding job. Took out nine trees in my yard. My yard that has lawn furniture, patio lights, potted plants everywhere and a cowboy pool, and they managed to take out nine trees with no damage to anything and even cleaned up after themselves like they were never here. Their price was better than anyone in town.”

Tree down or a limb on the roof? Here is what to do first.
The biggest thing in your yard
Your trees are the first thing people see. Are they healthy?
A tree can look fine for years and be quietly failing: a dead top, a split union, a limb heading for the roof. You cannot see it from the ground, and you should not have to guess. You want your trees to thrive, and you want someone who tells you straight what they need.
The trees were there before the house. With a little care, they outlast it. The homeowners with the best-looking trees on the street have an arborist look once in a while. That is the whole secret.
We have looked at a lot of trees
You want it done right, by people who are insured and show up. Here is the proof.

Reviews
Homeowners whose trees we care for, in their words
Reviews are quoted from Google with the reviewer's first name. Reviewers keep naming the same things: a polite, respectful crew, hard removals done without damage, a clean yard, good communication, fair bids.
What we do 
Prune it, protect it, or remove it. An arborist looks first.
Seven services, one rule: an ISA Certified Arborist assesses every tree before the crew touches it. Cleanup and haul-off are always in the quote.
Tree trimming & pruning
Dead limbs off the roof, light and air through the crown, and a tree that stays. ISA Certified Arborists prune to the standard. We never top a tree.
Prune it or remove it? Tree removal
A dying, diseased, or leaning tree comes down safely, even over a roof or a fence. Lift, rigging, or crane as the tree needs. Cleanup and haul-off included.
When a tree should come out Emergency tree removal & storm damage
A tree on the house or a limb hanging over the walk gets the first call. We answer, even on the weekend, and tell you what to do tonight.
Tree down? What to do first Stump grinding
The stump goes below grade so you can plant, seed, or pave over it. Quoted with the removal or on its own.
Stump questions Tree preservation (cabling & bracing)
A tree you love with a weak union gets a cable or a brace instead of a chainsaw. Installed to ANSI A300 standards.
Save it or remove it? Debris hauling
Yard debris loaded and gone. The mini skid-steer with a grapple fits through a 36-inch gate.
Book a free estimate Aerial lift access
Big trees over the roof without a crane or a climber. The 72-foot spider lift fits through a backyard gate.
Fenced yard? Usually fineTree down? We answer, even while the game is on.

FAQ
The questions homeowners ask before they call

Full answer →How soon can you do the job?
An arborist comes out to look in a few days. Work is typically booked a few weeks out depending on the season. Emergency response is our priority, and we are already working on the weekend.
Full answer →How do you price tree work?
Every tree is different, so every price is. Age, health, size, species, what is under the tree, and how we reach it decide the job. An arborist looks in person, free, and you get a written quote. We do not publish a price list, and we do not quote from a photo alone.
Full answer →Do you serve Airway Heights, Cheney, and Medical Lake?
Yes. We serve Spokane and surrounding areas: Spokane Valley, Liberty Lake, Post Falls, Airway Heights, Cheney, Medical Lake, Nine Mile Falls, Deer Park, and outlying areas. Licensed in Washington and Idaho.
Full answer →Can you get equipment into a fenced back yard?
Usually. Our 72-foot spider lift and mini skid-steer both fit through a 36-inch gate, which lets us remove or prune large trees over roofs and fences without a crane or a climber over the house.
Full answer →Should I prune, trim, or remove my tree?
Trimming and pruning are the same work: removing dead, damaged, or crowding limbs so the tree stays healthy and safe. We recommend removal only when a tree is dying, diseased, structurally failing, or a hazard to a home. An ISA Certified Arborist assesses every tree before we recommend either.
