Frequently Asked Questions
How much does tree removal cost on Mercer Island?
Cost depends on the tree’s size, condition, and location on the property. We provide a free, itemized estimate before any work begins.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree on Mercer Island?
Mercer Island requires a permit to remove any tree 10 inches or greater in diameter (measured at 4.5 feet above ground) that isn’t part of a development project. Tree removal in critical areas, such as wetlands, watercourses, and landslide hazard areas near the Lake Washington shoreline, is further restricted under Mercer Island City Code (MICC) 19.10.050. See the city’s Tree Permits page, our tree permit guide, or we can help determine what applies to your property before scheduling work.
How often should I have my trees pruned?
Most mature trees benefit from pruning every 2–3 years. Lakefront and slope-adjacent trees on Mercer Island often benefit from more frequent health checks given the island’s shoreline and critical-area regulations.
