North Kitsap's Ferry Town

Kingston is an unincorporated community on Appletree Cove, at the north end of Kitsap County, home to the Kingston–Edmonds ferry and SR 104. Because it isn’t an incorporated city, land use here falls under Kitsap County.

Arborsmith Pro Tree Service serves Kingston with tree removal, trimming and pruning, stump grinding and 24/7 emergency tree service. We’re based in Port Orchard, so for North Kitsap jobs it helps to tell us the full scope when you call so the visit can be planned well.

Kitsap County Tree Rules

Kitsap County publishes guidance on when tree removal and timber harvest need a permit. Some removals are allowed without one, but conditions like critical areas, the amount of timber and the tree’s location matter. The county also has a shoreline program and critical-areas regulations.

Requirements vary with the property and the circumstances, so check Kitsap County’s current requirements before removing trees, especially near Appletree Cove or other shorelines, wetlands or steep slopes.

Planning a Kingston Job

A few details make the estimate visit more useful:

  • Every tree you’re thinking about, even the ones that are “maybe later.”
  • Whether you’d like stumps ground as part of the job.
  • Access: gates, slopes, soft ground, a long or steep driveway.
  • Anything buried near the trees, such as septic components or irrigation lines.

After a Windstorm

From a safe distance, look over the trees nearest your house, driveway and power lines. Watch for broken tops, limbs hung up in the canopy, cracked trunks and trees that have started to lean. If something looks ready to fall, call (360) 590-8771. Emergency service is available 24/7.

Signs a Tree Needs a Closer Look

You don’t have to be an expert to notice trouble. Call for an estimate if you see:

  • Dead branches or sections of canopy without needles or leaves in the growing season
  • Mushrooms, cavities or soft wood at the base of the trunk
  • Cracks in the trunk or at large branch unions
  • Soil lifting or cracking on one side of the base
  • Branches rubbing the roof or hanging over the driveway

Trees and Power Lines

If a tree or limb is touching, leaning on or close to power lines, don’t try to deal with it yourself. Contact your electric utility; utility lines have to be made safe before tree work around them can happen. Once they are, we can take care of the rest of the tree.

Grind the Stump or Leave It?

Some owners are happy to leave a stump. Others want the space back for lawn, garden beds or a path. Stump grinding takes the stump down below the surface so the area can be leveled and replanted. If you’re not sure, ask at your estimate; it’s usually simplest to decide before the removal is scheduled.
