Tree reviews in Seattle, Washington

Collin and the crew at Ravenna Arborists were outstanding from start to finish. They were professional, friendly, and clearly know their craft. The team stayed focused, worked efficiently, and took great care with both the tree, their safety and the surrounding property.

What really stood out was their ability to navigate Seattle’s strict tree regulations without slowing things down—they handled everything smoothly and kept the process stress-free.

Best of all, the final bill came in below the original estimate, which is almost unheard of these days.

Highly recommend Collin and his team if you’re looking for reliable, high-quality arborist work in Seattle.

Ravenna Arborists restored several trees on my property that had been topped decades ago and grown back misshapen and top heavy. Collin and his crew meticulously thinned and shaped the trees to an aesthetically pleasing stand of trees that look balanced and healthy. The trees look better than I thought possible. Communication was excellent all the way through the process. There is a good rapport amongst the crew who clearly enjoy the work. A pleasure to work with.

Super thoughtful and experienced arborists!

They came into our yard to gain access to the neighbor's trees they were working on and dropped limbs into my small garden and steping on it, destroying part of it.

Collin has been our go-to arborist since we moved into our home in 2015. He pruned our massive Western Red Cedar, cleaned up and fertilized our 80+ year-lilac, and advised me on how to better care for our apple and cherry trees. In addition to offering fair rates, he’s super communicative and easy to work with, and I love that he always has the wellbeing of my trees and the holistic health of my garden ecosystem in mind.

I'd highly recommend Collin and his team. Collin walked us through his approach before starting the work, and gave helpful recommendations regarding the long-term care of our trees. I was particularly impressed by their removal of debris and cleanup after the work was completed. I'm looking forward to having them back to maintain the health of our trees moving forward.

We have been working with Collin and crew for several years. They are friendly, knowledgeable, professional, reasonably priced, and overall just do amazing work. I have highly recommended them and will continue to recommend as they are the best in maintenance and tree service!

Reached out and they offered a great and afforable price!
Work was precise and they are attentive.
Arrival was punctual and work was done effciently!ľ recommend!!!

Lance and Tree City, flawless and safe removal of my 100 ft poplar tree, also highly skilled, beautiful pruning of many other trees on my property. This gentleman proved not only highly skilled with his craft, but was also awesome with his professionalism; personable and knowledgeable as an arborist, clear and articulate in explaining what we were to expect, unusually fair and reasonable with his pricing. Will hope that he is available for all our future Tree Care service needs!

great service and professional team.

Ian and his crew did a great job in trimming three large trees and a huge laurel hedge. Good work, good people, good price. Highly recommended!

I called around and received 3 bids to cut down a tree in our back yard, Urban Arborist was the lowest bid. But sometimes the cheapest bid is not everything, Ian and his team were professional and quickly got the job done as scheduled.

When an old semi-large tree started to lean toward our house, and I had a mini heart attack during every windstorm, we knew it was time to take it down. I called Urban Arborist for the job, and I am very impressed! They arrived promptly at 9am and got right down to business. Overall, the job seemed to go by pretty quickly given the size of the tree. And the service was professional and efficient. And the price was right! I can't recommend these guys enough. Thank you!!

Urban Arborist was great! First of all, they answer their email, which, in itself, is GOLD. Scheduling (both the work and the estimate) was super easy.

Moreover, they did a great job! We had one giant stump to remove as well as three sad diseased pear trees. One person ground the stump while others cut down the trees (time efficient!), and everyone worked with great care -- our yard is full of newly-transplanted saplings and they worked around all of them. The crew even raked away the dead leaves that had fallen from the felled branches, which was above and beyond.

editing to add: wow, they even removed the pears we had put netting around and placed them on the deck steps! That's really nice of them.

Finally, the price was right -- the next bid we got was more than twice as much, and I don't really see how the work could have been done better.

Based on this experience, I unhesitatingly recommend Ian and the crew at Urban Arborist!

I can't recommend Urban Arborist highly enough! I had never needed tree work done at my house before so I reached out to three different Seattle-based arborists to get quotes and Urban Arborist was the quickest to respond and by far the most reasonably priced (the other two were 2-3x more). Urban Arborist did a great job as well, I'm glad I did not go with the other guys that were much more expensive! They had much fancier websites but I doubt they would've done a better job! I will definitely be using Urban Arborist for any future tree needs.

We have used Urban Arborist a couple times now and highly recommend them. Ian is very prompt and responsive and the quote we received from him was very reasonable. The crew showed up on time on the day of and got the job done very quickly and cleaned up after themselves. Overall very happy with them and definitely recommend them.

This gentleman was awesome. . He came with determination to get the job done!!. I would recommend this service to family and friends when service is needed.. Great job!👍

I had two 12" stumps ground and roots removed. Elijah and Vincent were very professional and responsive, making sure they were completing the job as I expected. Also showed care working near a fence and other plants. I can recommend contacting them for stump grinding.

Elijah and Vincent were great. They showed up on time (very important!) worked hard to get that stump out of the yard, carried away all the large debris and left my yard nice and neat. All at a very reasonable price. Next time I need this type of work, I will definitely contact them again.

Professional and friendly, high quality service

Brandon were right on time, did great work, professional crew who ensured all of it met my standards and expectations, and the clean up was fantastic.
