Tree reviews in Seattle, Washington

Jake and his team took care of a really large Spruce that was unfortunately too close to our house. They did an amazing job of bidding the work and explaining to us exactly what the process would look like and the timeline of the work. When Jake, Leo, Dylan, Jon, and Xander showed up they were polite, curious and engaging. My two year old son was very curious and had fun watching and interacting with the whole team. They never made us feel in the way (we maintained a very safe distance) and they emailed and waved at our son a lot which made his day. At the end of the work they left our property clean and tidy. We would, have and will continue to recommend Vitalitree to our friends and neighbors. Thank you Vitalitree for the great work and very positive experience!

Courteous, knowledgeable, prompt, reasonable.

Thank you for NOT cutting down a perfectly good Fir.

They communicated well. Did what they said and did a great job.

Um….Where did my review go???
DON’T USE BALLARD TREE SERVICE!

Excellent work and good communications.

So professional and affordable. Will definitely recommend to my friends and use again for future tree services.

Excellent customer service and tree removal!

Thank you, Ballard Tree, for doing the right thing and refusing to cut an Exceptional cedar that was misrepresented by the developer. You've won my vote for a responsible and moral company!

The two arborists who trimmed three of our trees did a great job. Showed up right on time and did great work. I highly recommend.

Very good prices, excellent work. Fantastic communication. We have had multiple great experiences with them.

These guys removed a tree for me for a very reasonable price. I couldn’t be happier. They also issued an invoice and overall were professional and pleasant to work with.

Absolutely outstanding service.
Crew goes above and beyond in their service.
Very respectful of property and our wishes.
Always enjoy working with your company

Horrible company and poor ethics. They are cutting down perfectly healthy trees for Developers to make money. They break the law and hire other local companies like Pacific Tree Management to do the dirty Work. Today they are cutting down a 200 year old tree without public notice and on a Saturday to sneak and purposely deceive the community.

Big thanks to Ballard Tree Service! From start to finish, the company was professional and customer service exceptional! I would highly recommend them!

Used Ballard Tree Service Inc. To remove a cherry tree that had partially fallen damaging a gazebo. There bid came in at $1000 under other local companies and were able to do the job the same week. Competition companies were at least three weeks out and cost 50 percent more. They ground up most everything & hauled away the rest the very next day. They take major credit cards and give discounts for cash. Don't waste time , get that job done and go with Ballard Tree Service.

Ballard Tree Service came recommended by a friend and we used them to trim three large trees around our house. One of them was overhanging our roof. They conducted the work with utmost care and professionalism and cleaned up thoroughly at the end. BTS was the fourth company we called before settling on them. Not only were they the cheapest, they offered the earliest service date and importantly, were very knowledgeable about the trees. Many of the previous vendors didn’t even know the type of tree we had and could not assure us that the tree would remain stable after trimming. In all, it was a superb experience.

A great experience. They removed an old laurel hedge and ground the stumps, while taking great care to not damage the adjacent landscape. Reliable work at a fair price. This was our first time using them and we are very happy with the job.

A massive hemlock tree was uprooted and leaning over our house while being held up by another tree - not exactly sure when the damage occurred but we noticed it on a weekday evening around 6pm. We called every 24/7 emergency tree care number we could find and Ballard Tree Service was the first to call back and come to our house to check out the tree. The following morning the crew showed up and the tree was safely removed by 4pm, under the original cost estimate. The crew was professional, took care to protect our property and that of our neighbors, and expertly secured the tree to other trees in the area, while slowly and safely removing the tree. Thank you so much Ballard Tree Service!

I just moved in and I called to get advice about a very large tree that was leaning towards the neighbor house. The owner came out next day on the weekend which was great. However he just wanted to quote for whatever I was asking for, not what was actually needed. He quoted for cabling the tree and removing a bunch of the branches to lighten it which seemed reasonable, but I had two other arborists come out after, both pointed out that because the tree was curving to straight at the top, and the base was super healthy with no signs of lifting that the tree actually grew that way, was super healthy, and was not at all starting to fall over. I also had some other minor work on the property and Ballard's quote was double others.
Ballard seems to have a history of wanting to remove trees when they don't need to be. If that's what you want then they are the company for you but if you want honest opinions on what actually needs to be done, other companies might be better.

Great job removing a massive, invasive laurel hedge that was threatening our power lines. Both removal and stump grinding were quick and thorough, with minimal impact to the rest of the garden. Very happy with the work - a huge improvement.
