Professional Tree Removal Service
Woodinville Tree Care Pros provides professional tree removal services for residents and business owners located in the Woodinville area. When a tree is hazardous, dead, or otherwise unsalvageable, it may be necessary to remove the tree. Removing a tree can also be required when there is a need to clear land prior to a new development, or to create space for other uses such as gardening, landscaping, or building.

From the smallest ornamental tree to large 100-foot-tall trees, our arborist team and crew members have safely removed thousands of trees without causing injury or damaging any property.
We offer comprehensive tree removal services, including assessing whether or not the tree should be removed, to completely cleaning up after the job is done. Regardless of why you want to remove the tree, we will work closely with you to ensure all of your expectations are met.

Our Tree Removal Process
How We Safely Remove Trees
We have an organized method for removing trees that protects the homeowner’s property and the surrounding environment.
Step 1: On-Site Property Evaluation
Our first step is to evaluate your property in person. Our certified arborist will assess the size, condition, lean of the tree, and the surrounding area. The arborist will look for potential hazardous conditions, including power lines above the tree, proximity of adjacent structures, underground utility wires, and important landscaping that should be protected during the removal process.
Step 2: Creation of the Removal Plan
After completing the assessment, our certified arborist will create a comprehensive removal plan based on the specific requirements of each individual tree. When the tree is located in a wide-open area, we typically remove it all at once. If the tree is too close to a structure or there is inadequate space to remove it all at once, we will perform a sectional removal. This involves breaking down the tree into smaller sections from top to bottom using specialized rigging equipment and techniques.
Step 3: Preparing Your Work Area
Before beginning the removal process, we will set up the work area to protect your property and prevent damage. This includes establishing a designated safety zone, protecting any adjacent plants and structures with protective barriers or pads, and strategically placing equipment to maximize efficiency.
Step 4: Executing the Removal Plan
Our skilled crew will execute the removal plan with great detail and precision:
- Climbing and Rigging: Certified arborists will climb the tree and establish the rigging system to control the branch and trunk sections when cutting.
- Sectional Dismantling: For large trees, the tree will be removed sectionally from top to bottom.
- Controlled Lowering: Branches and trunk sections will be lowered to the ground under controlled conditions, minimizing potential damage to adjacent property.
- Crane-Assisted Removal: In extreme cases where the tree is very large or access to the tree is restricted, we will use crane services to lift branches over structures to remove the tree safely.
- Precision Cutting: Each cut will be carefully planned and executed according to established standards to maximize both safety and control.
Step 5: Treating the Stump
Once the tree has been removed, you’re left with a stump. We provide a variety of options:
- Flush Cut: We’ll trim the stump as low to the ground as possible.
- Stump Grinding: We’ll grind the stump below ground level (Recommended for most applications).
- Stump Removal: Complete extraction of the stump and primary root system (Optional).
Step 6: Removing Debris and Cleaning Up
We’re proud of how well we leave your property after the tree removal service:
- All branches, trunk sections, and debris will be removed from your property.
- If stump grinding is performed, you can choose to have the wood chips removed or kept as mulch.
- The work area will be raked and cleaned of sawdust and other debris.
- You can also have large wood sections cut to length for firewood, if desired.
Step 7: Final Inspection
Finally, before we consider the project completed, we will walk through the property with you to make sure you’re completely satisfied with the results and answer any questions regarding restoring the site or providing recommendations for future tree maintenance.
Tree Removal Methods
Specialized Techniques for Every Situation
Traditional Felling – The most effective method of removing a tree in an open area where there is enough room around the tree, traditional felling is the best choice. Traditional felling involves determining which way the tree naturally leans and cutting it down in a manner that will allow us to safely lower the entire section of the tree to the ground.
Removing Trees Sectionally – When the area around the tree is too small, or when the tree is close to a structure, and you want to avoid damaging your building(s), sectioning the tree is the safest option. A climber will climb the tree and start at the top, and begin to systematically cut away all the limbs of the tree, and as each section is removed, he will make cuts to break the trunk of the tree into smaller sections that can be safely lowered by rope and rigging.
Using a Crane to Remove Trees – If the tree is large, is near a structure, and/or you have limited accessibility to the tree location, and/or you need to remove a tree quickly, cranes are the best tool to use to assist in the removal of the tree. Cranes are able to lift sections of the tree over the top of buildings and other obstacles, and in many cases, this method is quicker and safer than removing trees manually.
Emergency Tree Removal – Trees damaged from storms or fallen trees are an emergency and require prompt action to ensure public and property safety. Emergency removal services provide rapid response, stabilization of hazardous situations, and safe removal of damaged trees, while maintaining safety standards.
Advanced Tree Removal Techniques – In complex removal situations, our crews may employ advanced rigging techniques such as speedlines, negative blocks, and mechanical advantage systems. Crew leaders are trained in technical rigging to address the most difficult removals.
