Tree Tech NW: Tree Care and Removal in Snohomish and King Counties

Tree Tech NW is a full-service tree care company founded by a mechanical engineer with a background in forestry. The firm combines that technical foundation with the use of specialized tools uncommon in the industry, allowing it to optimize efficiency and deliver the best possible work at the lowest price. Its stated priority is tree health, under the premise that healthy trees make happy customers.

The company operates in Snohomish and King counties, Washington, and presents itself as "The Highway 2 Tree Pros," referring to its service area. With over ten years of experience, its stated mission is to help neighbors improve the trees and forest on their properties, from seed to stump, with accurate advice on every project.

Tree Removal and Cleanup Services

Tree Tech NW performs tree removals of all sizes, including the most difficult. When a tree is near a home or power lines, the work becomes more complex and often requires rope descent; due to the increased risk and time required, the cost is higher.

After pruning or removal, the company offers branch cleanup. The customer can choose to handle the debris themselves to reduce the cost, and the company can provide a quote for that cleanup work so the customer can decide if it's worth it. It also offers wood chips if requested in advance. Additionally, while on site, it can cut logs into firewood lengths; hauling, splitting, or moving firewood can be arranged for an additional fee.

Pruning and Pruning Styles

Pruning is presented as both an art and a science: when properly done, it improves the health, safety, and aesthetics of trees. The company offers different options tailored to the customer's needs:

• Full Prune: maximizes long-term health, safety, and appearance. Recommended for trees near the home. Includes dead wood removal, thinning, and structural pruning.
• Safety Pruning: focuses on removing large limbs over the house or driveway. Reduces homeowner concerns and protects important assets.
• Windsailing: reduces the number of branches in the upper canopy and decreases the likelihood of tree failure during windstorms. Recommended for large trees.
• Crown Thinning: removes congested growth throughout the crown, increases sunlight reaching the yard, and improves airflow.
• Crown Cleaning: removes dead branches within the canopy, improving safety, vitality, and appearance at a more affordable price than a full prune.
• Vista pruning: pruning aimed at optimizing a particular view, such as mountains or a scenic vista.

Work Standards and Background

The company states it stays up to date on industry standards for tree pruning and safe work practices, and claims adherence to OSHA and ANSI procedures. Its founder recounts that his passion for trees began in childhood, in the hardwood forests of Morristown, New Jersey, and that later, during a college summer, he responded to a "TREE CLIMBERS WANTED" ad. After completing his engineering degree and working in that field, the lack of excitement led him back to arboriculture. In 2020, during the COVID slowdown, a neighbor hired him for tree work and, being a small business owner, offered to help him start his own business. That gesture gave rise to Tree Tech NW, which thanks Grant of Eco Movers for the inspiration.
