Municipal Tree Removal

What This Service Involves

Our ISA Certified Arborists evaluate each municipal tree against your urban forestry standards before any removal is authorized. Crews mobilize with traffic control, drop zones, and utility coordination so removals near sidewalks, roadways, and overhead lines stay compliant with WAC and MUTCD requirements. All wood, brush, and debris are chipped or hauled per your disposal preferences, and stump treatment is quoted as an add-on when specified. Documentation, including before-and-after photos and disposal tickets, is submitted with every work order for your records.

Benefits

ISA Certified Arborists direct every removal for defensible, standards-based decisions; L&I prevailing-wage and certified payroll compliance built into each contract; traffic control and utility coordination reduce liability in the right-of-way; complete debris hauling with disposal documentation; photo records support asset management and audit trails

Our Process

1) Submit a work order or removal list and we schedule an arborist site assessment; 2) We confirm scope, traffic control, and utility notifications, then provide a fixed quote; 3) Crews complete the removal with lane closures and drop-zone controls as needed; 4) We haul debris, submit photos and disposal tickets, and close out the work order

What Affects the Cost

Tree diameter, height, and species density; proximity to power lines, structures, and pedestrian traffic; traffic control and lane-closure requirements; disposal, chipping, and stump-grinding add-ons; prevailing-wage labor rates for the project county

Best Time of Year

Removals are scheduled year-round, though dormant-season work from late fall through early spring minimizes disruption and reduces impact on nesting birds and turf recovery.
