They gave a great price to take down the trees and ground up all the branches. They were the best price of the quotes we received and things more or less worked out okay.
Description of Work: They came in with a big chipper and took off all the branches of two 60 foot Cypress trees and then proceeded to take the trees down. It was a 4 or 5 hour job. They were supposed to grind the stumps which they did not do. On that, they only did half of what I needed.

This removal was not an easy one. The fir tree was huge, in with other landscaping and small maples. Sections had to be roped down so as to not damage an aggregate driveway. All was perfectly done. They arrived on time and cleaned up when finished. This was the second time we've used them, both times for huge firs, we wouldn't use any other service.
Description of Work: Removed a 100+ foot fir tree.

Each time they show up on time and do the job right, exactly as requested. They were careful not to damage the rest of the landscaping. Their prices are also very reasonable. That's why my first thought when a tree falls or needs taking down is Washington Tree Experts.

They did a great job. I watched and told them what I wanted. The job took 3 hours. Later I realized that the shrub had not been cut back as much as we had agreed upon, so they came back later to finish the job. They took all the branches away and cleaned up well. It cost $849 which I thought was a very good deal.
Description of Work: Pruned 3 very tall Fir trees, a very large shrub, and a large maple tree. Also some large branches were taken away that had fallen out of the trees previously.

These folks have been coming to my backyard to do various trimming for years. They are punctual and well versed in tree trimming. I got three quotes this year. Washington Tree Experts' quote was reasonable and a lot cheaper than the other two quotes. They staff come prepared to work; they work as a team and leave the site cleaned up. I heartedly encourage anyone to give them a try.

If you see these guys on the road, be careful not to merge in front of them or road rage will ensue. This morning, driving North on I-5 through Lynnwood, I used my signal, gave plenty of space, and merged in front of a Washington Tree Experts truck pulling a trailer. This truck then proceeding to scare me by driving up close to my tail, backing off, and repeating. When I further merged over to let them pass and avoid conflict, the passenger flipped me off as they raced forward and started riding another driver. This is very reckless and bizarre behavior for a professional workplace and vehicle. I will never be using their services and will warn others as well.
Description of Work: Reckless driving.

The crew from Washington Tree Experts were early, and worked fast. They left no visible trace of debris other than the 16-18" rounds, which they stacked neatly by where the tree had been located. They even took some of my neighbors brush and chipped it at no charge! Great crew! Great company!!

When I called on 5/28/15, the office person scheduled an appointment at my home for between 2 and 3 pm on 5/29/15. On the scheduled day, I waited for the estimator to come. No one showed up or called me. At 3:45 pm I called the office, identified myself, and explained the situation. The office person said the estimator was on his way and that she'd text him. I asked to be called if he was going to be later than 4 pm. I waited the rest of the afternoon and evening. The estimator never showed up and no one from the company ever called. I was hopeful about this company, but this kind of mistake is too big to overcome. I have had scores of successful estimation appointments and dozens of successful jobs done on my home over the years. Yet this is only the second time a contractor has blown off an estimation appointment in my experience. The only other time this happened to me was with another firm, ironically another highly rated Angie's List company.
Description of Work: I made an appointment for a free estimate for a pruning job.

Les came out, gave a fair estimate, and explained how the job would be done. He and his crew showed up on time, went quickly to work, and Les, being the and quot;climberand quot; carefully took down the branches, lowering most of the larger ones by rope. The men chipped the smaller branches, bucked the larger ones to 18 inches, and left the yard in good order. We have used them before, as well as others, and they are the best. Highly recommend. Will no doubt have to use them again as we have a lot of trees.
Description of Work: Took down an 80 foot maple tree. The tree had a major branch come down a few weeks earlier, was diseased and dangerous.

The job went very smoothly. They were in and out in no time.
Description of Work: I had about five large Photinia removed and a few arborvites trimmed up to get some weight off of them. It was a small job, but made all the difference to me not to have to deal with the brush, etc. I have used these guys before on larger jobs and will continue to use them in the future.

He was punctual, professional, his price was reasonable, and he did a marvelous job of cleaning up after he completed the job. In fact I plan to call him again around late Spring for some additional trees that need trimming and cutting. He is a very nice man who does what he says he will do. I am a very satisfied customer....

This family run business is wonderful. This is the third time we have contracted them to do work in our yard. Removed a cypress cedar tree that was breaking up sidewalk, shaping and pruning laurel hedges. They come on time for estimate and give a fair and honest accounting of fees. All members of the family contribute to their success. They come when they say, do what they say and charge what they say. Easy to talk with and flexible to accomodate schedules. In a word, excellent!

We liked the quality of the work. They paid absolute attention to detail. Everything was done perfectly. We would absolutely use them again.
Description of Work: We used Washington Tree Experts to remove 2 full size trees, 3 large rhododendron bushes, a large camellia and a very large Japanese bush. They also trimmed a large laurel hedge and took some dead limbs off a large maple tree. They trimmed and topped a large birch tree. They did stump grinding on the 5 big things.

Les came to discuss the job, wrote up the estimate, and personally supervised all work except the stump grinding. He was very helpful and knowledgeable and willing to discuss tree issues at length. I was impressed that he supervised the work. My experience is that contractors typically send someone to talk to you and impress you with their knowledge and then send a crew to do the work unsupervised. The stump grinder had to fashion a ramp to be able to reach the top of the stump with his machine. He completed the job with considerable difficulty. My only criticism is that he left the plywood ramp and a large pile of dirt, wood pieces, and stump debris below it. In his defense, he was left by the rest of the crew to complete the stump grinding work by himself and had no means of removing the dirt/stump debris. I don't know that removing the stump grinding debris was to be expected because I did not anticipate it nor did Les mention it during our discussion. Otherwise, the WTE experience was very satisfactory.
Description of Work: WTE removed a large Leyland cypress tree from the edge of my yard. The tree literally straddled the line between my property and the neighbor's. They cut the tree down and removed all debris, leaving the rounds of wood and wood chips for my neighbors, who wanted it (I didn't). Nine days later they returned to do the stump grinding, which was coordinated with tree removal they were doing in my neighbor's yard. They had to use the neighbor's yard to bring the stump grinder to my stump and the removal of the neighbor's tree made getting to my stump a lot easier. Hence the delay in the stump grinding. The top of the stump was on the level of my yard, some 2-3 feet higher than the ground level of the roots at the level of my neighbor's yard. The discrepancy in the levels of the top of the stump and the ground level of the roots created a difficult situation for stump grinding. Because I planned to have a retaining wall installed in that location, I needed the stump ground at least ten inches below grade. The wall was subsequently built, so the stump grinding was apparently done to the required level.

I had used this company last year for some tree work and was very pleased. This year, when I had more tree work to be done, I did not even bother to call other companies for bids. I simply called Washington Tree Experts. Geno, the estimator and one of the climbers, is knowledgeable and understood what I wished to accomplish. He told me what could be done without harming the trees. He was punctual when coming out to give me an estimate. The crew showed up on time, and all the members were responsive and easy to interact with. They worked efficiently, achieved the desired goal, and cleaned up thoroughly. I was surprised at how quickly they got the job done. I felt their price was fair in light of the work I wanted to have done. After using them last year, I recommended them to a friend who heads the landscape committee for his townhouse condo association. He arranged to use them for work in the condo neighborhood, and was pleased with the work and the competitive pricing. After informing him today of my excellent experience with the company for this second job, he said he would hire them again for additional work this year.

Job went well and we were very satisfied with the work.
Description of Work: WTE took down a huge fir tree, in excess of 130 ft. that was a danger to our neighbors. There was quite a lot of landscaping around it which was not disturbed. The area to drop the limbs and rounds was quite small between our fencing and the house and they dropped everything in the targeted area. We had scheduled them several months prior to the actual work and had to reschedule 3 times because our yard was a swamp. They were very understanding about this. They brought plywood to cover the lawn area that was swampy. There was limited access to our backyard where the work took place, steps and a narrowing by the house which they protected with additional plywood so as to not to scratch the paint. We would use their services again in the future if needed.

We needed someone to come out give us a bid and perform the work quickly. WTS came out and gave a bid and then emailed when they could come out and do the work. I asked if it could be sooner because we need to get the tree out of there to repair the pipe. They rescheduled and were very professional in cutting down the tree. I am very pleased with their work and how they were flexible in helping me my time frame.
Description of Work: We had an evergreen about the 8 inch radius growing too close to a commercial building we own and it had caused a leak in the water line. Fortunately the restaurant was closed for vacation.
