Tree Solutions Inc

Great. Received a very good analysis of our trees, answers to questions and recommendations.

My experience went very well. The staff was very professional and knowledgeable in their field. The pricing was reasonable and I was pleased with the outcome of the service. I would recommend this company to others.

My neighbors were having a gas line installed adjacent to my very substantial cedar tree. I wanted to find out what precautions needed to be taken to make sure that the PSE sub-contractor took into consideration the health and safety of the tree on my lot, which may be impacted by the gas line installation. Since I was unable to find out from PSE what the proper precautions were after weeks of calling them and being transferred around, I hired Sean Dugan from Tree Solutions since he holds credentials with the American Society of Consulting Arborist. Sean was able to come out within a couple of days, and he e-mailed me a report the same day of his visit. The timeline was critical since the construction was pending the following week. After PSE received Sean's documentation on my tree, they sent their own arborist out to look at the tree and confer with their subcontrator to make sure the safety and well being of my tree was being taken into consideration as part of their construction. Sean was professional and on time. I feel that his report was instrumental in making sure that PSE worked with their sub-contractor in finding the best way to appropriately install the gas line.

Scott was simply the man the City trusted to tell them what is what. He told me what I could do and I did that and with that the City was most helpful because Mr. Scott Baker had told them the same thing. Instrumental, clearly at the top of his game. I am so clearly happy with this outcome that I'm trying to tell everyone the same thing. If you have a problem due to a tree, he is the man to talk to. His company name is Tree Solutions Inc

Worth every penny. Scott is sincere, passionate, highly competent, and utterly in love with trees and the science of trees. He relies upon quantitative data, not guesswork, and uses cutting-edge technology to obtain the data on-site. He parses the data using years of experience and an unbelievably impressive reserve of knowledge about the physics and biology of trees. Particularly interesting is that he is clearly on the leading-edge of horticulture; not only is he introducing high-tech equipment to the field (tomography!), but he actively lectures at leading horticulture conferences around the world. He did a fantastic job for us, and I was impressed with his integrity to avoid upselling additional services that were not justified by the data he had gathered. This guy is impressive; it felt like I met the Michael Jordan of arborists. He will be my go-to arborist from now on.

Knowledgeable is not the right word to describe Scott, impressive comes closer. His advice is golden. Paying for expertise is much better than hiring a guy whose job is to cut down trees and asking him for advice. Scott saved us a lot of money (we do not have to cut down a tree) and eased our mind. Highly recommended!

Found that one of our many large Douglas Fir's had developed conks (fungal growth on trunk) Needed an evaluation to determine if tree needed to be removed or what. Concern because tree is close to houses and amongst several similarly sized trees. Was refered to Tree Solutions by another Angie's List company to have a professional evaluation. Gosh, they were able to come out today and Scott did a very professional job of evaluating our tree, and looked over the rest of our little "forest" to determine that it's only this one particular tree with the issue. Very thorough field report, with specific findings and recommendations that we will now be able to process with the city for appropriate removal permits and to a removal vendor. Can't be happier with the professionalism and our luck in getting this done so quickly!would not hesitate to use them again and to recommend to anyone needing this sort of service!

We specifically wanted this service from a company who did not also cut down trees, which in our minds avoided any possibility of misinformation that might occur either intentionally or unintentionally. Previously we had just asked several tree service company to come and make some recommendations, but those recommendations were not from a thorough analysis, were always different and sometimes at odds. They showed up on time. We had underestimated the number of trees on the property, but they stayed later than planned to finish. The results of the assessment were compiled in to a report that made very clear recommendations for immediate and future action, and the report was available about 2 days after the assessment.

Awesome service! Scott Baker is an *extremely* articulate and knowledgable man. Everything he said made sense. There were three households (we lll live in a row) who went in on this together, as one person's tree affects the other yards around. He spent quality time with each neighbor, explainging exactly what *had* to be done to solve some tree health issues, and he was also clear on what *not* to do, thus saving us all money and worry All three households give Tree Solutions an A+! (P.S. The trees in question were an Empress Tree, a Sitka Spruce, a Japanese 'Roman Style" plum, a Lodgpole Pine and two Japanese styrax trees.)

I wondered how the trees in my backyard would continue to stand up to the winter storms. Scott Baker came out as scheduled to do a risk assessment of the trees' health and sustainability. He was very efficient with his time. He is a real teacher and seems to enjoy answering questions and educating about tree science. He has a strong command of his subject and was dedicated to making an objective evaluation. He is neither a "tree hugger" nor a "logger". He understood the homeowner's perspective. I will definitely call him back in a few years for another review.

It went well. It was pouring rain and throughout the consultation Sean was upbeat, professional and very knowledgeable. The report I received was very detailed and thorough. The only niggling thing was that the office person said that she would have Sean come out because he was in West Seattle (I am in Burien) and I wouldn't have to pay as much for travel time. I ended up being charged for 1.25 hours of travel, which seemed a little excessive considering our proximity, however the amount that I was charged for the observation time and report time was far lower than I expected...so it evened out just fine.

Mr. Baker is very direct and knowledgeable. He did his survey quickly and recommended some changes and watering techniques. He left me with the map and a much better sense of how to maximize the health of my trees.

This guy is so knowledgeable, he knows everything about trees. I couldn't believe it. His name is Scott Baker and he is the best guy around for a job like this. He is not too expensive and he will work with you. He was on time and very professional as well.
