We live in West Seattle, and their website didn’t indicate whether they service our area. That said, I still submitted an inquiry and they were able to get back to me within the week. Side note: their website is beautiful. Our household really appreciates seamless UI, thoughtful design, and human-made artwork.
Even though my husband and I have only been homeowners for less than a year, we have already met our fair share of contractors. With that, James and his team are one of the few that really impressed us. Straightforward and very efficient. When I asked about one tree that I thought about trimming down, he was honest about it and explained why it wouldn't work. One thing I don’t like is when contractors say, “Oh yes, we can do that,” only for the work to end up not meeting code requirements or causing project delays.
Thank you, Tree People!

James and the crew at Tree People are great. He was much more responsive than other companies I reached out to and arranged his schedule around to accommodate my semi-emergency job. Some collateral damage happened but it was resolved quickly and went above and beyond to make it right. I’ll never call another arborist.

We found ourselves in a difficult situation. A tree from our property fell into a neighbors yard and they were putting their house up for sale in three days. We needed help immediately. We contacted several tree service companies in the hopes someone could work us into their schedule. We got an immediate response from James and he came over early the next day. Tree People resolved our problem within a day in an timely, efficient and professional manner. We can't recommend Tree People enough for the quality of their work and company! We have many trees on our property, and from now on Tree People will be the first we call when work is needed.

Excellent work! Their name says it all.
James is a consummate professional who knows the city bureaucracy AND the trees. I had a huge dead tree removed that required a crane, and was thrilled with the work. The crew worked fast and it was fascinating to watch. They cleaned up beautifully, and most amazing to me was that there wasn't any damage to my garden which was literally right under the tree!
I am a confirmed Tree People fan, and recommend them without reservation.

I highly recommend Tree People Tree Care, specifically James. I contacted them regarding a tree assessment on my property, and James was incredibly responsive and helpful from the start, patiently answering all my questions. He visited the property on to provide a quote. Even though he determined that no work was actually necessary on the tree, I was so impressed with his honesty and straightforward approach. Instead of trying to sell me on unnecessary services, he clearly explained his assessment, stating he saw no hanging branches, rot, or other issues. He even acknowledged that someone particularly risk-averse might opt to trim some higher limbs, but reiterated that he didn't feel any work was required. I truly appreciate his integrity and the fact that he prioritized honesty over making a sale. If I ever do need tree care services in the future, Tree People Tree Care and James will be my first call.
