Should that tree be trimmed or taken down? Arborsmith Pro Tree Service helps Silverdale property owners decide, then does the work, from pruning and removal to stump grinding and 24/7 emergencies.
Silverdale sits at the north end of Dyes Inlet in central Kitsap County. Whether your trees shade a home near the water or a lot farther from it, the question is usually the same: can this tree be trimmed, or does it need to come out?
Arborsmith Pro Tree Service helps Silverdale property owners answer that question, then does the work: tree trimming and pruning, tree removal, stump grinding and 24/7 emergency tree service. We’re based in Port Orchard, we’re licensed, bonded and insured, and estimates are free.
Removal is permanent, so it’s worth knowing when trimming is enough. These are general guidelines; the estimate is where we look at your specific tree.
You don’t need to be an expert to spot the warning signs. Call for an estimate if you notice:
Good trimming and pruning removes the right branches and leaves the tree looking like itself. That means dead wood out, clearance from roofs and driveways, and thinning where a crown has become too dense, with each cut made in the right place so the tree can seal the wound. It never means topping. Cutting the top out of a tree creates weak, fast regrowth that tends to break in later storms.
When tree removal is the right answer, the job is planned around what’s underneath: roofs, fences, decks, vehicles and utility lines. Trees without room to fall are taken down from the top in sections. If a tree is touching or close to power lines, contact your electric utility first.
Every property has its own constraints. Tell us about gates, slopes, soft lawns and tight side yards when you request your estimate, along with anything buried near the tree, such as septic components or irrigation lines. On the day of the work, move vehicles and outdoor furniture away from the tree and keep kids and pets inside.
Once a tree is down, the stump is still there. Stump grinding grinds it below the surface so you can level, seed or plant over the spot. It’s often simplest to do it right after the removal, and it can also be scheduled on its own for older stumps.
If a tree or limb has come down on a house, car or driveway, or a cracked tree is leaning toward something, call (360) 590-8771. Emergency tree service is available 24/7. Keep people clear of the area and stay away from any downed lines.
Silverdale is not an incorporated city. It’s part of unincorporated Kitsap County, so the county’s rules apply. Before removing trees near the shoreline, streams, wetlands or steep slopes, check with Kitsap County to find out what applies to your property.
Often, yes. If the tree is basically healthy, removing dead wood and problem limbs can make it safer. We’ll tell you if we think a tree can’t be made safe with trimming.
Yes. Many projects combine the two, such as pruning several trees and removing one. Stump grinding can often be added to the same project.
Silverdale is unincorporated, so Kitsap County’s rules apply. Check with the county before removing trees in sensitive areas like shorelines, wetlands or slopes.

It depends on the tree and the goal. Many mature trees only need attention every few years, while trees near roofs and driveways may need clearance work more often. We can suggest a schedule during your estimate.
It depends on the tree’s size and condition, where it stands and how much room there is to work. Call for a free estimate.
