Local tree removal, trimming and pruning, stump grinding and 24/7 emergency tree service for Port Orchard homeowners and property owners, from a crew based right here.
Arborsmith Pro Tree Service is based in Port Orchard. When you call about a tree here, you’re calling a local company, whether it’s about a single dead fir by the garage or a yard full of limbs after a windstorm.
This page is for Port Orchard homeowners and property owners who want to know what to expect before they call: the questions we hear most, how the work is planned, what to check before a tree comes down, and how to prepare for an estimate. We’re licensed, bonded and insured, estimates are free, and emergency tree service is available 24/7.
Tall conifers close to homes raise a lot of questions. Sometimes the answer is removal; often it’s removing dead wood or shortening limbs over the roof. We’ll walk the tree with you and explain what we see.
After wind or heavy wet snow, the first job is making sure nothing else is ready to fall. Broken limbs still hung in the canopy are more dangerous than the ones already on the ground.
Selective thinning and limb removal can often bring back a view, or light for a garden, without removing the tree. Topping is not the answer; it creates weak regrowth.
Stumps left from earlier clearing or old removals can be ground down below the surface so the ground can be mowed, planted or built on.
Every Port Orchard job is one of four kinds of work, and many projects combine two or three:
Port Orchard is the county seat of Kitsap County, but not every property with a Port Orchard address is inside city limits. That matters when you’re planning a removal, because the rules that apply to your trees can depend on who has jurisdiction over your property.
If you’re inside city limits, check with the City of Port Orchard. If you’re outside the city, check with Kitsap County. This is especially worth doing before removing trees near shorelines, streams, wetlands or steep slopes. We’d rather you ask the question before the tree comes down than after.
A few things make an estimate faster and more accurate:
If a tree or large limb has already come down, or a cracked tree is leaning toward something, call now. Emergency tree service is available 24/7. Keep people and pets away, and if power lines are involved, stay clear and contact your electric utility first.
From our Port Orchard base we also work across Kitsap County. Across Sinclair Inlet, Bremerton is the next city north. Manchester sits east of Port Orchard on Puget Sound, Silverdale is at the north end of Dyes Inlet, and Gig Harbor is down SR 16 in Pierce County. See all of our service areas for the full list.
No. We work in Port Orchard and in the surrounding unincorporated areas, and throughout Kitsap County and nearby communities. If you’re not sure whether we cover your address, call (360) 590-8771.
Yes. Estimates are free. We’ll look at the tree, talk through the options and give you a price for the work.
It depends on where the property is and the tree’s situation. Inside city limits, check with the City of Port Orchard; outside the city, check with Kitsap County. Trees near water, wetlands or steep slopes are the ones most worth asking about.
Yes. When there isn’t room to drop a tree in one piece, it’s taken down from the top in sections so each piece can be controlled.
From a safe distance, look over the trees nearest your house, driveway and power lines for cracked trunks, hanging limbs or a new lean. If something looks ready to fall, call (360) 590-8771; emergency service is available 24/7.
