"Wow, I cannot express enough how impressed I am with the exceptional service provided by Mike and his team! As a newcomer to the community, I faced some challenges with my HOA approval process to remove a tree. However, Mike went above and beyond to help me navigate the process with ease. He was incredibly patient and understanding, making sure that I had everything I needed to have the issue resolved. The estimate process was a breeze, and Mike promised to handle everything from start to finish, including the final step of cleaning up. True to his word, the tree removal was completed quickly and efficiently, leaving my yard looking pristine. I was also blown away by Mike's extensive knowledge and expertise in the field. When I asked him about the chainsaw he used and how to maintain it, he took the time to educate me on the key factors to keep it performing at its best. He even gave me some additional guidance on trimming smaller trees and removing rooftop mosses, which was incredibly helpful. Overall, I am beyond grateful for Mike's outstanding work and his unwavering patience and kindness throughout the entire process. I highly recommend his services to anyone in need of tree removal or other related services. Thank you, Mike, for your exceptional work and dedication to your craft!"

FAQs for tree service projects in Yelm, WA

You might remove a tree for free if it’s small, easy to reach, and your city doesn’t require a permit. Call the planning or public works office first to be sure. If they give you the green light, follow all safety rules, wear protective gear, and ask a friend to spot you. When in doubt—or if the tree is tall—hire a pro instead.

In many cities, you’ll need a permit—sometimes even an arborist’s report—before cutting down a tree. Start by calling your local building or planning department. They’ll tell you whether the tree is protected, how big it can be before a permit kicks in, and whether the work has to be done by a licensed pro. Get written approval before scheduling the job to stay on the right side of local rules.

It’s best to leave healthy trees alone—they add shade, boost curb appeal, and support wildlife. Take one down only if it’s dead, diseased beyond saving, or posing a real safety risk. Check local rules first; many areas protect heritage or street trees. 

When removal seems necessary, bring in a licensed arborist for an on-site assessment and written recommendation before you book the crew.

If you’re torn between trimming, pruning, or full removal, start with an honest health check. Trim to shape the canopy or encourage new growth. Prune when you spot broken or diseased branches that could spread trouble. 

Plan on removal only if the trunk is hollow, several major limbs are dead, storm damage is extensive, or the tree leans dangerously toward a structure.

A tree that’s 15 to 20 feet from your home isn’t automatically a problem. Healthy, small species often coexist just fine with houses. Trouble starts when the trunk shows decay, roots crack the foundation, or overhanging branches threaten the roof. Bring in a licensed arborist for a close look and written recommendation before you decide to remove or simply prune.

Timing hinges on size and complexity. A small tree might be gone in a few hours, a mid-sized one in half a day, and a giant could keep the crew busy for one to two full workdays. Add extra time if you’re grinding the stump, hauling wood, or navigating tight spaces near power lines or fences.
