Tree service for Spanaway homes and acreage
Spanaway stretches from the neighborhoods around Spanaway Lake and Spanaway Lake Park out along Pacific Avenue and toward Joint Base Lewis-McChord. You will find everything from compact subdivision lots to larger parcels with stands of tall Douglas fir — and many of those firs are right next to houses, shops and fences.
We remove trees whole when there is room, and in sections when there isn't. Our low impact removals keep heavy equipment off lawns and septic drain fields wherever possible.
Why Spanaway firs need extra attention
Much of Spanaway sits on gravelly glacial soils. Douglas firs growing in thin, well-drained soil often have shallow, spreading root systems, and trees left standing alone after development are exposed to wind from every direction. That combination is why we see so many leaning and uprooted firs here after winter storms. Other trees we commonly work on include:
- Douglas fir — tall, heavy-topped and often the biggest tree on the lot.
- Oregon white oak — found on remnant prairie ground in the area; worth protecting where possible.
- Red alder and bigleaf maple — fast-growing hardwoods that tend to drop limbs as they age.
- Western red cedar — often showing drought stress.
Storm clean up and 24/7 emergency service
When a windstorm rolls through, we can clear fallen trees off roofs, cars, fences and driveways and haul the debris away. Call our 24/7 emergency tree service line any time. If a tree is touching a power line, stay clear and contact the utility first.
What a typical Spanaway job looks like
We walk the property with you, look at the tree, what it could hit and how we can get equipment in, and then give you a free, no-obligation quote. On the day of the job, the crew sets up, climbs or rigs the tree, brings it down in a controlled way and cleans up the brush and debris. If you would like to keep some of the wood for firewood, just let us know ahead of time.
Family-owned, licensed and insured
