Tree removal, trimming and pruning, stump grinding and 24/7 emergency tree service across the Kitsap Peninsula and Bainbridge Island, from a licensed, bonded and insured crew based in Port Orchard.
Kitsap County covers most of the Kitsap Peninsula, plus Bainbridge Island and Blake Island. It stretches from Port Orchard, the county seat, north through Bremerton and Silverdale to Poulsbo, Kingston and Hansville, with Hood Canal along its western edge. A wooded lot in Seabeck, a waterfront home in Manchester and a backyard in Bremerton can all need tree work, but they rarely need it done the same way.
Arborsmith Pro Tree Service is based in Port Orchard and works throughout the county. This page explains how we cover it, what tends to drive tree work here, and how to decide who should work on your trees. If you’re in one of the communities with its own page, you’ll find more local detail there.
Free estimates anywhere we work in Kitsap County. Emergency tree service is available 24/7.
We think about the county in four parts. Each has its own mix of towns, roads and water crossings, and knowing where you are helps us plan the visit.
Our home base. Port Orchard, Manchester, Olalla and the surrounding unincorporated areas. Across the Pierce County line, Gig Harbor is a short trip down SR 16.
Bremerton, the county’s largest city, sits just across Sinclair Inlet from Port Orchard. Silverdale is at the north end of Dyes Inlet, with Seabeck to the west toward Hood Canal.
Poulsbo, Kingston, Suquamish and Hansville. Longer drives from Port Orchard, so it helps to tell us about access and the full scope of work when you call, so the visit can be planned well.
Bainbridge Island is part of Kitsap County and is its own city. We serve the island as well; call to talk through your project and schedule an estimate.
Across the county, these are some of the most common reasons property owners look for tree work:
Whatever part of the county you’re in, the work falls into four services. Many projects combine them, such as a removal followed by stump grinding, or pruning several trees and removing one.
Dead, damaged, leaning or unwanted trees, including trees taken down in sections near homes and structures.
Deadwood removal, roof and driveway clearance, crown thinning and view work that keeps healthy trees standing.
Stumps ground below the surface so the area can be mowed, planted, paved or built on.
Trees or limbs on a house, car or driveway, or a damaged tree that looks ready to fail. Call (360) 590-8771 any time.
Kitsap County has four incorporated cities: Port Orchard, Bremerton, Poulsbo and Bainbridge Island. Each has its own development rules. Outside those four cities, including communities like Silverdale and Manchester, the property is in unincorporated Kitsap County.
Before removing trees, especially near shorelines, streams, wetlands or steep slopes, check with the city if you’re inside city limits or with Kitsap County if you’re not. A mailing address doesn’t always tell you which applies. If you’re in Gig Harbor or elsewhere in Pierce or Mason County, check with that city or county.
Whoever you hire, a few questions protect you and your property:
On waterfront and hillside properties, trees do real work, helping hold soil on banks and bluffs. That’s one reason sensitive areas can come with extra rules, and it’s why pruning or thinning is often a better first answer than removal near the water. When a tree on a slope does need to come down, the plan has to account for where every piece will go and how the ground will be left.
Wherever you are in the county, these signs are worth a call:
Late winter, while many trees are dormant, is often a good time for pruning because the branch structure is easy to see. Fall is a good time to look over trees near your house before storm season. Hazards don’t follow a calendar, though: a cracked trunk or hanging limb should be dealt with whenever you find it.

It depends on where the property is and the tree’s situation. Inside Port Orchard, Bremerton, Poulsbo or Bainbridge Island, check with the city; elsewhere in the county, check with Kitsap County. Trees near water, wetlands or steep slopes deserve a check before any work.
Yes. We also serve nearby communities in Pierce and Mason counties, including Gig Harbor, Purdy, Fox Island, Tacoma, University Place, Allyn, Belfair and Shelton. See our service areas.
Sometimes. A tree with dead limbs, branches over the roof or a dense canopy can often be made safer with pruning. A tree that is dead, badly decayed, split or unstable usually can’t. We’ll tell you which we think applies.
Yes. Stump grinding is available throughout our service area, either as part of a removal or on its own for older stumps.
Keep people away from the tree and anything it’s touching. If power lines are involved, stay well clear and call your electric utility. Then call (360) 590-8771; emergency tree service is available 24/7.
Estimates are free. For storm damage and other emergencies, call any time, 24/7.
