In Their Own Words

What Seattle homeowners are saying

Real reviews, reworded from the original platform posts and linked back to their source — recent, specific, and verifiable.

Steep-Slope Pruning

The crew went well beyond what we expected pruning three trees on a tricky, sloped section of our property. This will be our first call for any future tree work.

Bryan M.Google · Jul 2026
Hazard Assessment

The team caught a large dead limb on a big Douglas fir near our property line and removed it before it became a real problem.

Jaime G.Google · Jul 2026
Careful Removal

An old street tree tangled in power lines came down without a scratch on the surrounding plants — and the cleanup afterward was thorough.

Julie C.Google · Jul 2026
Large, Complex Removal

They took down a massive, century-old dead elm in our backyard without touching our neighbor's property, and left everything better than they found it.

Ricci K.Google · Jul 2026
Repeat Customer

We've called them back multiple times over the years — most recently to cut back an overgrown laurel — and it's always the same great result.

Mindi K.Google · Jul 2026
Hedge & Cleanup

Our backyard hedges look better than they have in years. The crew worked hard and cleaned up completely before leaving.

Matthew S.Google · Jul 2026
Clear Communication

They listened to our safety concerns about falling branches, gave us a clear estimate, and delivered exactly what was agreed on.

Lynne G.BBB · Nov 2024
On-Time Crew

All three crew members were professional, arrived on time, and completed everything exactly as the proposal described.

Barbara H.BBB · Oct 2024
Long-Term Client

Reliable and fairly priced over many visits, shaping and maintaining the trees along our sidewalk strip for years.

Kurt A.BBB · Sep 2024

Commercial Project

Hired for a commercial project — punctual, professional, reasonably priced, and safety-focused throughout.

K.R.Nextdoor · Verified 2020
Neighbor Endorsement

Called them an excellent, professional company to work with.

N.B.Nextdoor · Verified 2019
Ongoing Recommendation

A neighbor's simple, direct thumbs-up when asked whether they'd recommend Seattle Tree Care to others in the area.

Patterns In The Feedback

What neighbors mention most

After reading through reviews across every platform, six themes come up again and again — in customers' own words.

Certified Expertise

Reviewers consistently note ISA credentials and ANSI-standard pruning explained clearly on-site — not just assumed.

Honest Assessments

Homeowners repeatedly mention being told the truth — even when it meant less work and a smaller invoice.

Exceptional Cleanup

“Cleaner than they found it” is close to a verbatim phrase across multiple platforms and multiple years.

Reliable Communication

Clear arrival windows, straight answers on the phone, and updates that actually arrive when promised.

Same-Day Stump Grinding

Called out specifically — no waiting weeks for a second crew to finish what the first one started.

Fast Emergency Response

Storm-damage reviews highlight same-day or next-day response when a limb or whole tree came down unexpectedly.

Neighborhood By Neighborhood

Common Questions

Before you call, you probably want to know

Yes. Seattle Tree Care is TCIA Accredited — the first and only family-owned tree service in Seattle to hold that accreditation — and holds active contractor license CCSEATTTC781P7 and SDCI TSP license LIC-TSP-18512. Family-owned and locally operated since 2007, with 12 ISA Certified Arborists and 9 TRAQ-qualified professionals on staff.
Seattle Tree Care holds an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau, with a 4.87-star average across 31 customer reviews there. Across Google, BBB, Nextdoor, and Consumers’ Checkbook, reviews are consistently in the high 4-star to 5-star range.
It depends on the tree's size, species, and location relative to your property line — Seattle's tree code has changed several times in recent years. Our arborists know the current code and can file permit paperwork on your behalf as part of the estimate process.
We stand behind every project we complete. If something about the finished work doesn't meet the standard we agreed on, we make it right — that commitment is part of how we operate, not a marketing line.
Look for specifics — named neighborhoods, particular services, and consistent details across independent platforms. Every rating on this page links back to the original profile on Google, BBB, Yelp, Nextdoor, or Consumers’ Checkbook so you can verify it firsthand.
Seattle Tree Care was founded in 2007 and has operated continuously as a family-owned business ever since — over 18 years serving the greater Seattle area, including the Eastside, Bellevue, Kirkland, and Mercer Island.
