Frequently Asked Questions
How much does tree removal cost in South Seattle?
Cost depends on the tree’s size, condition, and location on the property. Most residential removals range from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars. We provide a free, itemized estimate before any work begins.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Seattle?
Seattle regulates removal of exceptional trees, trees in Environmentally Critical Areas, and removal of more than three trees six inches or greater in diameter, under Seattle Municipal Code (SMC) 25.11 (Tree Protection). SDCI approval is required before removal in these cases. See the SDCI tree removal permit page, our tree permit guide, or we can review your specific tree before scheduling work.
How often should I have my trees pruned?
Most mature trees benefit from pruning every 2–3 years. South Seattle’s older street trees and legacy canopy are worth a health check every year or two.
