"Jared and his crew arrived a few minutes ahead of schedule and were very professional. Jared was great in answering questions and listening while explaining how much to cut off the trees. He pruned both the Magnolia and Pine tree. An enormous limb the size of the trunk broke off the Pine during a storm. Jared was able to clean up the jagged break to prevent disease and insects entering the tree, along with pruning some limbs and removing all the dead branches. The trees now look awesome — Pacific Arboriculture comes highly recommended."
"Great experience from start to finish. Fast response with a solid bid soon after calling. Brandon and the rest of the crew removed a couple of trees, ground a stump, and did some awesome work pruning a paper bark, maple, and black pine (which included the rescue of a baby raccoon). That nasty looking pine now looks absolutely amazing. Great job with cleanup to top it off. Highly recommend."
"A large project consisting of 9 trees with work ranging from stump grinding, pruning, and fruit tree care. Every step of the process was amazing. It is very telling how passionate everyone is about tree health. So much learned along the way. The team was thorough with everything and surprisingly detailed with the cleanup — not a leaf or twig was left behind. Pacific Arboriculture will be the call for future tree work, and Caren's dad plans on hiring them too."

There are rules and regulations regarding tree trimming and removal in Renton. Trees in Washington can grow huge, quickly becoming a safety hazard for surrounding people and buildings. Due to the nature of tree maintenance/removal, the State has implemented rules and regulations to ensure safety guidelines are implemented and followed. Ultimately, it is best to leave it to the professionals when it comes to extensive tree maintenance or removal in Renton.
You do not have to hire a professional in all trimming, pruning, or tree removal cases. However, hiring a tree professional in Renton is necessary with more giant hardwood trees and even some troublesome softwood trees. In many cases, it is against the law to climb up a large tree and hack away with a chainsaw, even if it is on your property. This is the unfortunate result of homeowners and business owners trying to take action into their own hands, resulting in disaster and forcing the State to regulate tree services across Washington.
