We’re a small, experienced team of five and hold a Residential General Contractor license, so your property is in professional hands. Send me a message and we can schedule a time to meet in person, or I can do a drive-by estimate if that’s easier. I look forward to working with you. Kindly, <PERSON>

John and his guys did a phenomenal job on trimming my 3 Japanese maples. I needed some larger limbs cut and John explained where the tree is showing stress and how to alleviate it. After all the trimming was complete they cleaned up as though they were never there. Definitely recommend them!

Watching the tree climber was a treat! All debris was cleared immediately. Thank you.

NW Tree Work ground a stump from a fallen Douglas Fir for us. They were great to work with and did a very nice job. Just a slight mound of chips afterwards!

I hired John and team to trim a dwarf dogwood and dwarf maple. John asked lots of questions, particularly about the maple because it acts as a screen for my porch. The crew also pulled out a “volunteer” yucca plant and did some initial trimming of front and side yard rose bushes. John came back to re-stake the dogwood (planted in October 2023), treated the rose bush in my side yard that was heat stressed. Very thorough and patient in answering my questions. Will definitely use NW Tree Works again!

Corey and Dusty did a great job pruning/shaping our rhodies and azaleas. Excellent communication and timely service. They obviously understand how to beautify rather than just cut a shrub. Thank you!

I did not get to work with the team unfortunately; however, I found John and his staff very pleasant and kind.

Great experience working with Grant and Connor! They trimmed back several trees and a big thorny overgrown rose bush. They were willing to work within our budget which we greatly appreciated! We’ll definitely hire them again and cannot recommend enough.

The NW Tree Work team was very helpful and responsive when we needed help with stump grinding and stump removal. Looking forward to hiring them as needed in the future!

John and his team did a great job on our project. They were punctual, we completed a thorough walkthrough and John provided additional recommendations for some tree work I had not considered. They cleaned up nicely as well. I would recommend and will use their service again in the future.

These guys were great! Super easy to work with extremely responsive and super fast. They were even able to come and provide their service the very next day. Highly recommend!

Couldn't be happier. Been dealing with this monster hedge for 30 years. By far the best work and value. Great guys. Great job.

Nice people

NW Tree Service is awesome to work with. John gave me a competitive detailed estimate. He and his team saw the job through and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. I had two large trees removed and another pruned. It took a day to complete. I plan to continue to use NW Tree for additional work. Thank you John!

So many things were wrong with this job. Hired NW Tree Work to do a professional pruning of an English Laurel hedge. He told me that he had a crew of 4, but on the first day only one person (a new hire) showed up and aimlessly trimmed/looked at his cell phone. After a few hours that guy left and said he'd been told to go to a different job. The owner never said anything to me about this change. The job was estimated to take 1 day, but was spread over several days. The end result was poorly done, and the top of the hedge has two distinctly different heights, as if two different people trimmed sections, and neither cared to attempt to match the work of the other. After a few days of looking at it, and spurred by pointed comments from friends, I contacted NW Tree Work to ask that they come out and even out the top. After a few days the wife of the owner sent an email telling me what a great job her husband had done and how I'd gotten such a good deal I should be happy. There ARE professional arborists who trim trees, and in the future I will not be using this "professional". If you look up their license on the Contractors Licensing Board, the name of the company is something like "Johnny on the Spot.."(or similar) - NOT NW Tree Work. I began the process of filing a formal complaint against them with the Contractors Licensing Board, and the registered letter I sent to their address of record was returned unclaimed, and I received a threatening email from the wife telling me that they will defend themselves vigorously from lawsuits. I imagine they have some experience in this. Be careful with this one!

Trimmed our massive laurel hedge for a competitive price. Easy to work with. There were over an hour late on the first visit and had to reschedule one other time but communicated with me about it. Would use them again!

They were great. Took out my trees while I was on vacation.
