Stanwood covers two very different kinds of tree work: flat delta farmland around the Stillaguamish, and wooded, sloped lots on Camano Island. Call (360) 503-0571 for a free estimate.
Trees we see in Stanwood
Around Stanwood, cottonwood, alder and willow line the river and sloughs, with windbreaks on farms. Camano Island has Douglas-fir, western red cedar, bigleaf maple and Pacific madrone, often on bluff and view lots.
Terrain and access
Delta ground is low and wet, so access and rutting are concerns for much of the year. Camano lots add steep driveways, narrow roads and bluffs where trees help hold the slope.
Wind, snow and storms
Winter southerlies blow across the open delta and up the shoreline of Camano. Exposed bluff trees and windbreak rows take the most damage.

Frequently asked questions
Do you work on Camano Island?
