Tree Service in Lakewood, Washington
Lakewood’s lakes, old estates and base housing sit under some of the biggest firs and oaks in the county. We have taken down a lot of them, carefully, and our reviews from Lakewood say so.
Do you work in Lakewood? Yes, we work across Lakewood, from Oakbrook, Lake City and Tillicum to the neighborhoods around Gravelly, Steilacoom and American Lake, and in Steilacoom and DuPont beyond it. Several of our Google reviews come from Lakewood customers. Estimates are free. Call or text (253) 590-8194.
Lakewood was built on the old prairie and lake country south of Tacoma, and it kept its trees: tall firs around Gravelly Lake, Steilacoom Lake and American Lake, the Garry oaks that gave Oakbrook its name, and big maples and cedars on the older lots off Gravelly Lake Drive. Many of the houses are from the 1950s to 1970s, and the trees planted or left standing then are now at full size over roofs, driveways and the lake shore.
What Lakewood customers call us for
Firs over the house that drop limbs every winter, a dead top over the lake path, an oak limb cracked in an ice storm, stumps left from a previous owner’s clearing. Erika Kertson in Lakewood wrote on our old site that she got seven estimates and found ours fair, and that the crew protected her flowers and plants and cleaned as they went. Annie W, also in Lakewood, had a cedar taken down and a hemlock trimmed, with the chips delivered to a neighbor.
Oaks, and the rules around them
The Garry oaks of Lakewood, Steilacoom and the JBLM prairie are a rare native tree, and the city protects many of them along with other large trees; pruning and removal of a significant oak or a tree in a critical area can need a city permit. If the tree you are asking about is an oak, we will tell you what the city is likely to want before any cutting.
Lakeview Light and Power
Much of Lakewood is served by Lakeview Light and Power rather than Tacoma Power. If a tree is on their line, call them first; once the line is clear, we take the tree.

Tree service questions from Lakewood
Do you work in Tillicum and near JBLM?
Yes. Tillicum, Lake City, Woodbrook and the neighborhoods along the base boundary are all regular stops.
Can you take a tree down on a lake shore 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.
Do you trim Garry oaks?
Yes, carefully and in the right season, and only after checking whether the city needs to approve it.
Do you serve Steilacoom and DuPont too?
Yes, both, and Fort Lewis housing when the base allows it.
