Tree Pruning

Our precision pruning services enhance tree health and structural integrity while addressing clearance requirements. We employ both summer and winter pruning techniques to optimize fruit production, reduce storm damage risks, and maintain aesthetic form. With over two decades of experience, our ISA-certified arborists deliver customized solutions that balance client needs with long-term tree vitality across Seattle's diverse urban landscape.

Cabling Systems

Cobra cabling installations provide critical structural support for multi-trunk trees without invasive drilling. This advanced system mitigates splitting risks while maintaining natural growth patterns. Our certified technicians assess each tree's unique requirements to implement cost-effective solutions that extend tree lifespan and enhance property safety in Seattle's challenging urban environment.

Tree Removal

We handle complex tree removals with precision and safety, specializing in confined spaces near structures. Our small-team approach ensures careful execution without unnecessary damage to surrounding property. We prioritize preservation when possible but provide complete removal services for hazardous or irreparably damaged trees throughout Seattle's residential and commercial areas.

Fruit Tree Pruning

Specialized pruning techniques maximize fruit production while maintaining tree health. We implement seasonal strategies to optimize yield accessibility and branch strength. Our approach combines horticultural science with practical experience to transform neglected trees into productive assets, serving Seattle homeowners seeking both aesthetic and functional benefits from their orchard specimens.

Steep Slope Restoration

Expert solutions for challenging terrain including root washing and proper planting techniques. We address oxygen deprivation issues from improper planting depth while ensuring slope stability. Our team combines technical expertise with environmental stewardship to restore ecological balance and prevent erosion on Seattle's distinctive topography.

Mark was very responsive when planning the project. His estimate was fair and on the lower-end of the mid-range of the bids we got. Smaller additional work items that we asked to add were priced reasonably. The job involved trimming some large branches off a large oak tree, and then pruning several smaller trees. The team was very professional (and friendly), and the work was done exactly as we had hoped. Definitely recommend this company for pruning and tree work.

Mark and his crew are amazing. They are a little loose with arrival time, but they didn't really matter to me. They were super quick, very efficient, cleaned up everything, and very friendly.

Not a great experience. Tree guy screamed/cussed after making a mistake in our large tree. I literally thought he had been hurt after the crash I heard. I tried to reassure him it was fixable (minor damage to our house, which his company paid to fix!). He was so angry I didn't want him to work on our second tree, which was to be reshapen after painters cut off branches willy nilly. It was in much worse aesthetic shape when he finished than when he started. Poorly shaped, in my opinion. After writing a letter of complaint, I received a voicemail stating that it had been done correctly

Mark was excellent! He came out to give us quotes on different options (moderate trimming, extensive trimming vs. tree removal) in caring for a large cedar overhanging our deck. His quotes were reasonable and he was knowledgable about trees and how to care for them. In the end, it turned out that the cedar belonged to the neighbors (who we hope will seek a permit to remove the tree and replant since the tree had been topped). We will definitely hire him in the future. Thanks Mark!

I recently submitted online quotes to a few local companies and Mark was the first to respond within a day. He called immediately after going to my home the next day and was incredibly helpful. The tree is in good health and does not need any pruning at this time. His consultation was free of charge. I am incredibly grateful and will be sure to refer him whenever I can. Highly recommend contacting him for your tree evaluation needs.

Wonderful Seattle tree service, with a certified arborist who really cares about and understands trees. We've used Madison Park Tree on and off for several years to prune our giant old trees so that we have light as well as privacy.

We've relied on Mark with Madison Park Tree since we arrived in the neighborhood over a decade ago. We have 4 giant trees that have required periodic pruning and it's great to be able to work with a neighborhood business owner who is a professional arborist with a depth of experience. Super affordable too. Most impressive? We had a huge tree branch come down in a recent storm, hitting a fence and blocking the sidewalk. A call to Madison Park Tree and it was roped off and dealt with promptly.
