Common Federal Way Tree Service Questions

Who offers the best tree trimming/pruning/removal services?

Pacific Arboriculture offers the top-rated tree trimming or removal services in Federal Way, Washington. Our team can handle any tree trimming/pruning/removal project you have in the greater Northwest, and we will leave you content with the job we perform. The results speak for themselves when it comes to our business. We understand the need for timely, efficient work and will not leave you hanging waiting for tree services for years.

How much does it cost for tree trimming, pruning, or tree removal services in Federal Way?

This depends upon the type of work you need to be done. If you need to know the cost of tree trimming, tree pruning, or tree removal services in Federal Way, contact our friendly customer support staff for a free consultation. It takes an experienced tree service professional to identify the costs of removing a tree in Federal Way. Make sure to get a second opinion from us before you move forward with any tree-related projects. When dealing with less-than-reputable tree service providers, we can help save you a headache.

What is the difference between a professional tree trimming/pruning/removal company and doing it myself?

The quality of work is the first and foremost noticeable difference between a professional tree company and doing it yourself. If you have attempted a residential tree service independently, you will understand the need for the right equipment, training, and knowledge when doing the job correctly. Swinging a chainsaw into a tree is only part of the equation for tree services. Felling a tree into your or someone else’s home/property is all too easy when dealing with massive Washington-born trees. Do not put that liability on yourself. Hire professionals to do the job correctly, safely, and promptly.

Will I have to constantly trim the trees on my property?

This depends on your given situation. If you are dealing with trees that grow year round, then you will have to constantly trim the trees on your property in Federal Way. The city has ordinances in place to hold property owners responsible for the greenery on their property. If you have a tree overhanging or distressing someone else’s property, it is your legal responsibility to take care of the offending tree. This could involve a strict trimming schedule or ultimately removal. Either way, it is best to consult with tree professionals if you are dealing with a nuisance tree that needs constant attention.
