Climber taking the top out of a tall fir

Do you work in Bonney Lake? Yes, we cover Bonney Lake, Lake Tapps, Sumner and the plateau out toward Buckley, about thirty minutes from our yard. Removals, view and thinning work, stump grinding and storm cleanup. Estimates are free. Call or text (253) 590-8194.

Bonney Lake sits on the plateau above Sumner and the Puyallup valley, around Lake Tapps and along Highway 410 toward Buckley. The subdivisions were cut into fir forest from the 1990s on, so the trees left between and behind the houses are tall, thin from growing in a stand, and now well over the roofs. Around the lake the lots are tighter and the trees lean toward the water and the view.

Firs on the plateau

The plateau catches wind off the mountain and off the valley, and a fir that was sheltered in a stand twenty years ago is exposed now that its neighbors have been cleared. The dead, leaning and cracked ones come out, in sections over the roof; the sound ones get thinned so wind passes through and lifted off the house. See tree removal and tree trimming.

Views of Rainier and the lake

A lot of Bonney Lake homes were bought for the view and have watched it close up as the firs grew. Opening it again is usually a mix: remove the worst one or two, window and thin the rest, and leave enough standing that the lot still looks like the plateau.

City and county rules

Bonney Lake regulates removal of larger trees inside the city limits, and Lake Tapps shoreline lots have shoreline rules on top of that; much of the surrounding plateau is unincorporated county. We will tell you if your tree looks like a permit case before we schedule it.

Tree service questions from Bonney Lake

Do you come out to Bonney Lake from Tacoma?

Yes, about thirty minutes. Sumner, Lake Tapps and Buckley are on the same run.

Can you open up a view of the mountain?

Usually, by removing one or two trees and thinning or windowing the rest.

Can you remove a tree on a Lake Tapps lot?

Yes. Shoreline lots are tight and sloped, so the tree is climbed and lowered in sections, and we keep the debris out of the water.

Does Bonney Lake require a tree removal permit?

For larger trees inside the city, it can. The city’s permit desk will confirm; we will tell you what we see.
