Common Tree Service Questions

Who offers tree maintenance services in Tukwila?

Pacific Arboriculture offers tree maintenance services in Tukwila, Washington. Our professionals have years of experience in the area, work within our clients guidelines, and obey all rules and regulations regarding tree maintenance services in Tukwila. It is important to understand that tree maintenance can quickly become a legal issue when dealing with massive trees and overgrowth. That is why it is important to hire a tree maintenance company that understands the rules and regulations of tree maintenance in Tukwila.

Why should I maintain my trees?

Trees in Washington are not like trees in other areas of the United States. Trees in Tukwila, especially, can become a problem because of the sprawling city and the people who inhabit it. Trees can quickly grow out of control if not maintained and this can lead to very nasty legal battles over property lines, overgrowth damages, and other types of legal issues. All of these issues can be avoided to an extent by maintaining your trees with a professional service company like Pacific Arboriculture.

Can I maintain my trees myself?

This question is raised quite a lot and the answer is yes and no. There are rules and regulations that homeowners and business owners must adhere to when maintaining trees in Tukwila. In many cases, these rules will dictate the use of professional tree maintenance service providers because the tools and experience necessary is not within the realm of your average homeowner or business owner. It is completely ok to admit that tree maintenance is not something you want to partake and that is why Pacific Arboriculture is here to help do the hard work. Avoid endangering yourself and others and let our professionals handle your tree maintenance.

DO YOU NEED A PERMIT?

The City of Tukwila updated its Landscaping Code, TMC 18.52, to reflect the urban forestry goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan in March 2017. The Landscaping Code is primarily for use in areas of the city zoned commercial, multi-family, and industrial.

In April 2018, the Tree Code, TMC 18.54 was updated for use in single-family residential zones and sensitive areas. This is the final step to implementing the goals for urban tree canopy retention as set forth in the Comprehensive Plan. Owners of property in areas zoned single-family are now required to contact the City prior to removal of trees over 6 inches in diameter.
