SeaTac regulates significant tree retention and removal through SMC 15.445 and critical area regulations. Trees within FAA approach zones near the airport have additional considerations.
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.

Most SeaTac 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. We give every SeaTac homeowner a free written estimate and full inspection by an ISA Certified Arborist no surprises, no pressure.
Yes. Pacific Arboriculture crews are led by International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) Certified Arborists — meaning every prune, diagnosis, and removal follows recognized professional standards (ANSI A300 for pruning, ANSI Z133 for safety). Learn more about our ISA certifications.

Yes — we respond to emergency tree calls in SeaTac 24/7, including nights, weekends, and holidays. If a tree is on a structure, blocking access, or contacting power lines, call (206) 909-2170 immediately and stay clear of the area until we arrive.
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 you’re planning to remove trees on your SeaTac property, it’s good practice to check with the city before getting started. In most cases, you’re allowed to remove up to 6 trees within a 12-month period without a permit. However, there are important exceptions where city approval is required:
Absolutely. Our ISA arborists perform formal tree and shrub risk assessments for SeaTac homeowners, HOAs, real-estate transactions, and property managers. You’ll get a written report with photos, a risk rating, and recommended actions. Useful for permits, insurance, and lender requirements.
Yes — we bring stump grinders to most SeaTac removals and can usually grind the stump the same day, 6–12 inches below grade so you can replant, re-sod, or pour concrete on top.
Yes — full clean-up is included in every estimate. We chip, haul, and leave your SeaTac property cleaner than we found it. Wood chips and mulch are also available for delivery to SeaTac neighbors on request.
