Tree removal, trimming and pruning, stump grinding and 24/7 emergency tree service for University Place homeowners, with a free estimate before any work begins.
University Place is a city in Pierce County, incorporated in 1995, and home to Chambers Creek Regional Park along Puget Sound. Arborsmith Pro Tree Service serves University Place with tree removal, trimming and pruning, stump grinding and 24/7 emergency tree service. We’re licensed, bonded and insured, and estimates are free.
The City of University Place has tree regulations and a tree removal permit process, and the number of trees removed can be a factor in whether a permit is needed. If you’re planning to remove more than one or two trees, or trees near slopes or other sensitive areas, check the city’s current requirements before work begins.
Tree-removal requirements can vary based on the property, the jurisdiction and the circumstances. We can plan and carry out the tree work, but we don’t provide permitting or legal advice.
Branches over the house can often be cut back to give the roof room without removing the tree. See trimming and pruning.
Dead trees get more brittle over time and are harder to take down safely later. See tree removal.
Old stumps can be ground below the surface for lawn, garden or hardscape. See stump grinding.
Broken tops and hanging limbs after wind or snow. For anything urgent, call (360) 590-8771 any time.
Removal is permanent, so it’s worth knowing when pruning is enough. A tree that’s basically healthy but has dead wood, branches over the house or a dense crown can often be made safer with careful pruning. A tree that’s dead, badly decayed, split or unstable usually can’t, and removal is the safer path. We’ll explain what we see and why we recommend one or the other.
Branches from a neighbor’s tree over your roof or yard are a common concern. The simplest path is usually a conversation with your neighbor first. We can look at the tree and explain what pruning would involve, but questions about who is responsible for a tree are between the property owners.
Move vehicles out from under and near the trees, clear patio furniture from the work area, and keep kids and pets inside while work is underway. If a tree is on or near a property line, it helps to talk with your neighbor ahead of time. If a tree is touching or near power lines, contact your electric utility first.
