We’re based in Olympia, WA and serve the South Sound, including surrounding communities. If you’re not sure whether you’re in our service area, reach out and we’ll tell you quickly.

Our core services include:

• Tree pruning (health, structure, clearance, risk reduction)

• Small to medium-scale tree removals (when removal is truly the right call)

• Hedging & shrub pruning (shape, density, and long-term plant health)

If you have something outside that list, feel free to ask and we’ll either help or point you to someone who can.

In most cases, yes, we provide estimates after we understand the scope and site conditions. For more complex situations (multiple trees, risk concerns, tight access, etc.), we may recommend an on-site consult to give you a clear, accurate plan.

The fastest way is:

1. Send us a message with your address and concerns what you’re hoping to accomplish

2. Share a few photos (full tree + base + anything nearby like structures/fences/power lines)

3. We’ll follow up to schedule an on-site look if needed and get you a written estimate

Scheduling changes with the season. If you have a deadline (events, construction, travel, listing a home), tell us and we’ll do our best to work with your timeline.

Yes, we carry the appropriate insurance for professional tree work. If you’d like a certificate of insurance, just ask.

Yes, Josh Gaedke is an ISA Certified Arborist, ISA Certified Climber, annd TRAQ qualified (Tree Risk Assessment Qualification). That means you’re getting trained, professional judgment and not just someone with a chainsaw.

No. Topping (cutting the upper canopy back aggressively) can create weak regrowth, increase risk, and stress the tree long-term. We focus on proper pruning cuts that support the tree’s health and structure.

Yes, and we’re thoughtful about it. If a tree can be preserved safely with pruning or risk reduction, we’ll talk you through those options. If removal is the best choice, we’ll explain why in plain language.

Yes. Cleanup and haul-away are typically included in our bids unless you ask to keep woodchips/logs. If you want to keep material for firewood or habitat piles (which is great for your gardens :) ) tell us and we’ll plan for that.

Helpful prep includes:

• Secure pets and let us know about gates/access

• Move vehicles and large items away from the work zone if possible

• Point out anything you’re worried about (fences, gardens, septic, irrigation, etc.)

Tree work pricing depends on things like:

• Tree size/condition and complexity

• Access and obstacles (structures, fences, slope, tight backyards)

• Rigging needs, safety risk, and cleanup/haul-away.

  We’ll give you a clear estimate so you know what you’re paying for.

Yes. Many clients like a light annual or every-other-year approach. It keeps trees healthier and avoids big corrective cuts later.

We practice thoughtful arboriculture: doing what’s needed, avoiding what harms long-term health, and making decisions that respect the tree, your property, and safety. We aim for work that looks good now and supports the tree for years to come.

Send us a message through the contact form (or call/text), tell us what you’re hoping for, and we’ll take it from there.
