This company IS HORRIBLE!!! PLEASE DO NOT HIRE THEM!!!! Our neighbor hired them to remove one of her trees. To get to it they came in our back yard and on their way in HACKED up our beautiful Evergreen tree which was no where near the tree they had to get to. Then backed their cherry picker in. They did not ask just took a chainsaw to our tree
It is now dying. It is a very old beautiful tree. They did not have a permit to do so which is now illegal in Seattle. This company is heartless and they don't care about trees and they are not nice to nature. Please boycot them!!!!!!!

Thank you, Ballard Tree, for doing the right thing and refusing to cut an Exceptional cedar that was misrepresented by the developer. You've won my vote for a responsible and moral company!

Thank you for NOT cutting down a perfectly good Fir.

I just moved in and I called to get advice about a very large tree that was leaning towards the neighbor house. The owner came out next day on the weekend which was great. However he just wanted to quote for whatever I was asking for, not what was actually needed. He quoted for cabling the tree and removing a bunch of the branches to lighten it which seemed reasonable, but I had two other arborists come out after, both pointed out that because the tree was curving to straight at the top, and the base was super healthy with no signs of lifting that the tree actually grew that way, was super healthy, and was not at all starting to fall over. I also had some other minor work on the property and Ballard's quote was double others.
Ballard seems to have a history of wanting to remove trees when they don't need to be. If that's what you want then they are the company for you but if you want honest opinions on what actually needs to be done, other companies might be better.
