Tacoma Tree Removal
The scariest call we got last winter came from a couple near Point Defiance whose 90-foot fir had lifted its root plate three inches in a November blow. The soil was cracked in a half circle around the base. That tree was down, chipped and hauled within 36 hours, and we billed exactly what we quoted, even though the crane sat an extra hour waiting out a squall.
Removal is the last resort, and we treat it that way. When a tree can be saved with pruning or cabling, we say so during the estimate. When it can't, you want a crew that rigs every section instead of trusting gravity. Tacoma lots are tight: fences, sheds, gardens, the neighbor's new hot tub. Our climbers lower wood on ropes all day long in yards a bucket truck will never reach.
What's included in every tree removal: limbing and bucking, chipping the brush through the Bandit, hauling the debris, and raking out the drop zone. Trunk wood can be bucked to rounds and left for firewood if you want it. Stump grinding gets quoted at the same time, at the same visit, so you never pay a second trip charge. If you'd rather deal with the stump later, our stump grinding page explains what that runs.
Leaning trees, storm splits, and anything touching a structure get priority scheduling. Already have a tree on the house? Skip this page and go straight to emergency tree removal, that crew runs around the clock.

Questions We Hear a Lot
Do you give phone quotes for removals?
Small stuff, sometimes. Anything over 60 feet, no. Dale walks every big removal in person because access, lean, rot and targets change the price too much to guess.
What about the wood?
Your wood, your call. Most people have us haul everything. Some keep rounds for firewood or chips for the garden, and that trims the bill a little.
Can you take down a tree between two houses?
Yes, that's most of our work. We climb it and lower every piece on ropes. Slower than dropping it whole, but nothing gets crushed.
