Everett tree work is mostly urban: big trees close to houses, ravines and bluffs, tight side yards, and street parking that limits equipment. Call (360) 503-0571 for a free estimate.
Trees we see in Everett
Many Everett neighborhoods have mature Douglas-fir, western red cedar and bigleaf maple, often older than the houses around them. Wooded ravines and bluffs along Puget Sound and the Snohomish River carry the same species plus alder.
Terrain and access
Tight lots mean most removals are done in pieces, using rigging to lower wood over fences, roofs and gardens. Ravines and bluffs add slope and erosion concerns, so we pay close attention to what stays behind as well as what comes out.
Wind, snow and storms
Southerly windstorms like the November 2024 bomb cyclone bring down trees across Snohomish County. Big conifers on exposed bluffs and lone trees left standing after nearby clearing are the most at risk.

Permits and regulated trees
Everett regulates trees in critical areas such as steep slopes, ravines, wetlands and stream buffers, and Puget Sound shoreline properties fall under its Shoreline Master Program. Check with the City of Everett before removing a tree in one of those areas. We’ll point out anything that looks regulated.
Frequently asked questions
Can you take down a tree in a tight Everett backyard?
Yes. We take it down in sections, lower pieces with ropes and rigging, and carry or chip the debris out through the access you have. Access is part of how we price these jobs.
My tree is on the edge of a ravine. Can it be removed?
Often, but ravine and steep-slope trees are commonly regulated, and roots help hold the slope. We’ll tell you what we think, and you’ll likely need to check with the City of Everett first. Sometimes removing limbs or reducing the tree is a better option.
Do you handle storm damage in Everett?
Yes. We remove downed and hung-up trees and broken limbs. If anything is touching a power line, call the utility first.
