Covington regulates tree removal in critical areas, wetland buffers, and slopes through CMC 18.45. Significant tree removal in residential zones is subject to retention review.
An ISA Certified Arborist from Pacific Arboriculture reviews each property during the free on-site estimate and confirms whether a permit, critical area review, or written arborist report is required before any cutting starts.

Pacific Arboriculture is a locally owned tree care company serving Covington. Crews, trucks, and equipment are dispatched locally to keep response times fast and service local. Pacific Arboriculture has been climbing, pruning, and removing trees across South King and North Pierce counties since 2019 with Covington as a core service area.
Covington sits in the heart of South King County, where towering Douglas firs, big-leaf maples, and ornamental evergreens fill established neighborhoods from Timberlane to Jenkins Creek and out toward Lake Meridian. Overgrown, storm-damaged, or declining trees can become a safety concern quickly once the windy fall and winter months arrive.
As Covington’s trusted local tree care resource, the Pacific Arboriculture team of ISA Certified Arborists, TRAQ-qualified professionals, and NCCCO-certified crane operators delivers science-backed solutions and hands-on expertise. From safe removals to long-term health management, Covington residents and businesses get peace of mind and healthy landscapes—season after season.

Most Covington tree removals fall between $500 and $2,500 depending on tree size, access, proximity to structures or power lines, and whether stump grinding is included. Very large conifers, crane-assisted removals, or trees in tight backyards may run higher.

Most deciduous trees prune best in late winter (January–March) when they’re dormant. Conifers can be pruned year-round, typically late summer for view work. Fruit trees do best in late winter before bud break. Hazard, structural, and emergency pruning, of course, can be done any time.
If tree removal is planned on a Covington property, it is good practice to check with the city before getting started. Covington regulates significant tree removal and retention under Covington Municipal Code Chapter 18.45 — Critical Areas, and several situations require city approval first:
