Local tree removal from the valley to South Hill
Puyallup has two very different kinds of properties. Down in the valley — around downtown, Pioneer Park and the neighborhoods near the Washington State Fair grounds — you will find older homes with large shade trees that have had decades to grow. Up on South Hill, many subdivisions were carved out of second-growth forest, leaving tall Douglas firs and cedars standing right at the edge of backyards and fence lines.
Both situations call for experienced climbers. We remove trees in sections when space is tight, rig limbs down over roofs and fences, and fell trees whole only when there is a safe, open drop zone.

Common Puyallup trees we work on
- Douglas fir left standing in South Hill developments — often tall, thin and exposed after the trees around them were cleared.
- Western red cedar showing dead tops or browning after hot, dry summers.
- Black cottonwood and red alder along the Puyallup River corridor and creeks like Clarks Creek — fast-growing, brittle and prone to dropping limbs.
- Bigleaf maple with heavy, mossy limbs reaching over houses and driveways.
Storms, saturated soil and leaning trees
When winter rain soaks the ground and a windstorm follows, trees on the edge of a cleared lot are the ones most likely to lean or uproot. If you notice new cracks in the soil, a fresh lean or roots lifting on one side, call us for a look. For trees that are already down or hung up, our 24/7 emergency service is a phone call away.
