Report
I met a NW Tree Work crew while driving in a friends neighborhood and stopped for a card. John, who is an arborist and headed the crew, came forward and was very welcoming. I remembered, and as I had a very old, large and tall maple that was throwing tree sized branches at my house during the ice storm, I called. The crew arrived, and each of them struck me with their expertise, total focus on their task, and their friendliness. The tree climber who actually took the tree down is very meticulous in his planning for how pieces will fall as well as his personal safety. They also fell two additional

I hired these guys to prune my fruit trees, which is a different task than pruning shade or landscape trees. They were prompt and polite and did a great job.

John from NW Tree Work was referred to me by my neighbor. When he came to provide an estimate to trim our giant ash tree, I approved and he said he would contact me to set up scheduling. I amazed when they could do the job only a few days later. Very professional! They climb without spike shoes, so no damage to the trunk. They were also able to cut some of the further out branches, reducing weight without removing whole limbs. They'll be my go-to tree service for the life of that tree.

After waiting 10 minutes past the scheduled time I called. They informed me that they were running late, but would be there shortly. 10 minutes later I received a phone call asking for my address and that he would arrive in 20 minutes. 30 minutes later (almost 1 hour after the scheduled appointment) he arrived. We have a quick conversation and he says it would be $500. I said that sounded great, could he email the bid? He said that wouldn't be a problem
