Adjacent counties

We work here regularly. Trips get batched, so scheduling needs a little more lead time.

Klickitat CountyKlickitat County is one of the few places in Washington where Oregon white oak, not Douglas fir, is the tree you plan around.3 communities covered

Lewis CountyChehalis is about forty-five minutes up I-5 from our shop, which makes the west half of Lewis County less a destination than an extension of the yard we already work.8 communities covered

Pacific CountyPacific County is two kinds of tree country separated by a bay: sand, salt air and open-ocean wind on the west side, and some of the fastest-growing timber ground in North America in the Willapa Hills behind it.4 communities covered

Skamania CountySkamania County is a thin strip of private land pinned between the Columbia and a very large national forest, with a rainfall gradient steep enough to change the species list in half an hour of driving.4 communities covered

Wahkiakum CountyWahkiakum is one of the smallest counties in Washington by population and one of the easiest to describe: a thin band of river towns strung along Highway 4, diked islands and bottomland in the Columbia, and steep private timber filling in everything behind.2 communities covered

32 counties

Statewide

Planned, larger-scope work only — clearing, multi-tree removals, crane jobs and contracted projects. Not an emergency service at this distance.

Adams CountyAdams County is wheat ground, irrigation circles and open sky, and outside the creek bottoms it has no native forest to speak of.1 community covered

Asotin CountyAsotin County starts at the Snake River around 700 feet — low ground by eastern Washington standards — and climbs south into the Blue Mountains.2 communities covered

Benton CountyBenton County gets less rain than almost anywhere else in Washington, and apart from the cottonwood and willow along the Columbia and the Yakima it has no native forest at all.3 communities covered

Chelan CountyChelan County runs from the Columbia River at Wenatchee to the Cascade crest, and the tree work changes at every thousand feet of that climb.3 communities covered

Clallam CountySequim and Forks sit in the same county about two hours apart, and one of them is a rain shadow while the other is temperate rainforest.2 communities covered

Columbia CountyColumbia County has roughly four thousand people, two incorporated towns, and two entirely separate kinds of tree work.1 community covered

Douglas CountyDouglas County is wheat ground on a high basalt plateau with an irrigated orchard bench dropping away to the Columbia, and the difference between those two worlds decides what kind of tree work a property needs.1 community covered

Ferry CountyFerry County is mountain forest with very few people in it — ponderosa pine and western larch on the dry faces of the Kettle River Range, spruce and subalpine fir up high, and fire as the force that has always done the thinning.1 community covered

Franklin CountyFranklin County runs from the Pasco waterfront at the Snake and Columbia confluence north through circle-irrigated farm ground to Connell and Kahlotus.1 community covered

Garfield CountyGarfield County is wheat ground, canyon rim and the north face of the Blue Mountains, and most of the trees in it are shelterbelts somebody set out generations ago.1 community covered

Grant CountyGrant County is basalt, coulee and canal, and nearly every tree in its towns and farmsteads is standing because water was brought to it.3 communities covered

Grays Harbor CountyGrays Harbor grows Sitka spruce, hemlock and alder about as fast as anywhere in the country and has been cutting them since before statehood.3 communities covered

Island CountyWhidbey and Camano sit in the driest corner of western Washington, which changes what grows here and what fails here.2 communities covered

Jefferson CountyJefferson County runs from rain-shadow dry at Port Townsend across the Olympic crest to rainforest on the Pacific side, and two properties in the same county can need opposite advice.1 community covered

King CountyKing County covers everything from downtown Seattle lots to timbered acreage on the Cascade foothills, and the tree work changes completely across that span.26 communities covered

Kitsap CountyNearly every forested acre in Kitsap grew back at the same time after the mill era, and that shared history drives most of the tree failures here.5 communities covered

Kittitas CountyAsk anyone who has spent a February in Ellensburg what defines this county and they will say the wind before they say the trees.1 community covered

Lincoln CountyLincoln County is dryland wheat laid over a basalt floor, and that floor sits closer to the surface here than almost anywhere else we work.

Mason CountyMason County wraps the bottom of Hood Canal and runs back into the southeast Olympics.1 community covered

Okanogan CountyOkanogan County is the biggest county in Washington and it runs from sagebrush on the Columbia to ice on the North Cascades crest.2 communities covered

Pend Oreille CountyPend Oreille County is a long, narrow valley in the far northeast corner of the state, walled in by the Selkirks and drained by a river that runs north into Canada.1 community covered

Pierce CountyMost soil questions in Pierce County trace back to Mount Rainier.14 communities covered

San Juan CountySan Juan County is the only county in Washington you cannot drive to, and that changes tree work more than the trees themselves do.

Skagit CountySkagit County runs from the saltwater bluffs at Anacortes across the delta farmland and up the river to the timbered slopes at Marblemount, and the way trees fail changes at every step of that.2 communities covered

Snohomish CountySnohomish County holds saltwater bluff neighborhoods, three flood-prone river valleys and a stretch of Highway 2 that gets buried most winters.10 communities covered

Spokane CountySpokane County is ponderosa pine country sitting on flood gravel and basalt, and most of the failures here trace back to what happened to the ground and to the stand around a tree rather than to the tree itself.6 communities covered

Stevens CountyStevens County is inland forest — ponderosa pine and western larch on the dry aspects, Douglas-fir and grand fir where there is more moisture, cedar down in the draws.1 community covered

Thurston CountyThurston County holds something almost no other county west of the Cascades has in quantity: open prairie on gravel, with Oregon white oak standing in it.3 communities covered

Walla Walla CountyWalla Walla County holds some of the biggest planted shade trees in eastern Washington, and almost none of them belong to the ground they stand in.1 community covered

Whatcom CountyIn most of Washington the wind that breaks trees comes off the ocean; in Whatcom County a good share of it drains down out of the Fraser Valley from the northeast, and plenty of what fails here fails for that reason.1 community covered

Whitman CountyThe Palouse was grassland, so there is no wild baseline here — every tree over a house, a barn or a sidewalk in Whitman County is there because a person set it there, and most of those people have been gone a long time.1 community covered

Yakima CountyNearly every shade tree standing on the Yakima Valley floor is there because somebody planted it and kept water on it.3 communities covered
