Eastside often remove trees but whenever possible, our goal is always to maintain, preserve, and improve our northwest trees. Whenever a removal is performed, it is for a good reason. Our crews encourage and often perform replanting in these situations.
We tend to post many of our tree removal pictures, as it showcases the heavy equipment, climber and operator skill. Plus, it’s very impressive to watch from afar. When pruning and maintaining mature Firs, Hemlocks, Maples, Cedars, it is often impossible to get decent pictures or videos of the climbers in the trees, as they are surrounded by material.
In our everyday operations, the majority of our projects are pruning for the safety, health, and beauty of our northwest trees. Along with our project managers, we employ certified arborist on our crews, as well as fine pruning experts. Crew members are trained on proper pruning practices.
Pruning by skilled experts
Pruning is a delicate and skillful art. We’ve always considered a high priority in the way we choose our gear, our hiring practices, and our crew member development.
Pruning a large northwest tree is a delicate process you only want to trust to a professional. Pruning for safety and health, this often times includes the following:
- removing deadwood
- removing dead dying and diseased branches
- removing branches crossing through the middle or rubbing
- removing branches with weak unions, etc., while still maintaining the natural shape and look of our native mature trees.
Over-pruning a large mature tree is a poor practice, as it often times creates more issues to the tree than it improves.
Low-impact removals
When we remove trees, we specialize in low-impact removals. Our skilled climbers, equipment operators, and grounds crew are experts in getting large trees down with little or no-impact to the surrounding landscape.
This process does come at a cost of time, but greatly alleviates the headaches and additional work to the surrounding landscape after a traditional removal.
Where there is always a time and situation for higher impact removals. We pride ourselves in our ability to remove big, dead, or hazardous trees – with minimal impact to your landscape. Despite the pictures, pruning our northwest trees is our specialty!
