Hazard tree removal, done before it becomes an emergency
Serving Clallam County and Jefferson County
A dead fir over the roof is not a maybe. It is a schedule problem — yours or the wind’s. We climb, rig, and lower hazard trees in controlled sections, so the only thing that hits the ground is what we decide, where we decide.
01 — What counts as a hazard tree
Dead or dying tops. Root rot and heaving soil. A lean that was not there last winter. Trunks with conks, cracks, or carpenter ants. Limbs over the roofline, the driveway, or the power drop. If you are not sure, that is what the free estimate is for — we look, we tell you straight, and sometimes the honest answer is that the tree is fine.
On the Peninsula the usual suspects are Douglas fir and western red cedar with dead tops, alders leaning over structures, and storm-cracked limbs hung up where you cannot see them. We work near houses, shops, wells, and septic fields every week, and we plan every removal around what is under it.
02 — How a removal goes
Most residential removals are climbing jobs. We rope in, take the tree apart from the top, and lower each section on rigging — no free-falling wood near anything that matters. Tight quarters get smaller pieces and more rigging, not more risk.
When the work is done you get a clean site: wood bucked to rounds or hauled, brush chipped or removed, rounds stacked where you want them if you keep the firewood. Your call, priced either way.
Timeline
Most single-tree removals are done in a day. Bigger jobs get scheduled around weather and whatever storm work is ahead of them — you get a real date at the estimate, not a vague window.
What drives the price
Size, lean, and what sits underneath. A fir in an open field and the same fir over a roof are different jobs. Access matters too — whether we can get equipment close, or whether every piece comes down on rope.
Every job is quoted onsite, free, and in writing before anything is scheduled.
