Before it falls
Dangerous tree prevention and clearing in Yakima
We find the hazard before the windstorm does. Free inspection, straight talk about your options, and a crew that takes it down in sections.
Chapter 01
The warning signs most people walk past
A dangerous tree rarely looks dramatic from the kitchen window. Look for a trunk that leans toward the house, cracks in the trunk or at a union, limbs hanging over a roof or a driveway, and trees crowding a street corner or the foundation.
Mandy Testerman asked about two trees and learned she had three. The weeping birch she wanted to keep was really two trees. In her words, "It was starting to die, and the trunks had started splitting apart." The larger one was leaning toward the front of her house. She wrote that three other companies that bid on the job did not even mention it.
Judy M. had a large spruce on a street corner, close to her house. She described the visit this way: "He discussed options, pointed out problems in keeping it, and I agreed it needed to come down." That is the order we work in. Look, explain, then you decide.

Hazardous Tree Inspection, free and without the scare tactics
Our trained tree specialists do complimentary property inspections to spot hazards before they turn into damage. The goal is to protect your property, your pets, wildlife and the people who use the yard. Estimates are free.
You get a plain answer about what we found. Some trees can be pruned and kept. Some should come down. We tell you which is which and why, without unnecessary upselling and without fear tactics. If the tree is fine, we say so.
It costs less to deal with a hazard on your schedule than after the first big wind. We would rather look at it with you now.
Chapter 03
Clearing it safely, in sections
A tree over a house, a carport or a street cannot simply be felled. We take it down in sections from the bucket truck or on the rope, so the yard and the plants take as little hit as possible. Judy M. said hers was "removed safely and efficiently with minimal effect to surrounding yard and plants."
The crew talks to each other on headsets. One homeowner stopped by on her lunch break and watched the whole team stop working for her safety.
If it cannot wait, we respond around the clock throughout Yakima County. Call any hour, any day. Cleanup and haul-off come with the job.
