We had an excellent experience with JD Tree Service. It was everything from expert professional advice on tree removal and trimming to completing the project in a timely manner. Our trees needed to be topped and shaped and John, who is a certified arborist, gave us good information that helped guide our decisions. He and his partner did a wonderful job on our property, we're happy with their work.

John is a great arborist. We have used him 3 times and have been very satisfied and happy with him. He is very knowledgeable and has helped us understand what needs to be cut down, what can be trimmed, and what is doing fine. That is a marked difference from other tree services which are anxious to just cut the trees down. John owns his own company and does his own work with very knowledgeable helpers. He does great work and is more than willing to spend time with you.

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Value
John and his crew did an amazing job. They removed a maple that was growing against my fence and trimmed multiple trees and laurel hedges. I especially liked the way our cherry tree was trimmed. The whole job was done very quickly and professionally and at a very reasonable cost. I will definitely use JD Tree Service in the future!

John (owner) is passionate about this profession and delivers a high quality product. We have used their services multiple times. Most recently I had a question on the health of a large maple and he took the time to come over and evaluate it free of charge as we are a long-term client.
I highly recommend their services.

Excellent assessment, recommendations and quality of work. John came by our home and assessed all the trees on our property. Some of the trees that we thought needed to be cut down, he patiently explained why they were fine and safe. Others that we did not notice that were potentially dangerous, he did. The quality of work exceeded our expectations, he not only cut down the dead and potentially dangerous trees, he also cleared out and trimmed others. He has incredible knowledge and is very happy to share this with us and is patient in explaining his recommendations. I would strongly recommend the

I hired JD Trees after seeing the job they did on a neighbor's yard. John, the owner, showed up and provided a free estimate for a severe trim on about a dozen trees within 48 hours of my first call. As part of the estimate process, I learned more about the trees in my yard in 20 minutes than I had in the previous seven years of living here. I really appreciated the discussion with John as it ended up with me getting what I wanted, instead of what I was asking for..!

JD tree services came highly recommended and though busy, were extremely responsive, respectful and gracious as I sought urgent work for a job too small for many to consider. They quickly squeezed in a time to address my needs. I did not have the chance to work with them as the work was completed before that day. Impressed by John's ISA certifications, presence on sight for even small jobs, communication, care and professionalism, they are on my short list of trusted tree services.

Was concerned about our safety due to a few major tree tops coming out during wind storms. After looking at reviews, contacted JD Tree Service. Scheduled time with John for an evaluation and he did an amazing job evaluating our situation and helping to clarify the health of our trees . Luckily, we did not need to take any immediate action. Would feel confident using JD Tree Service had we needed to move forward with additional service.

I am so glad that I called JD Tree service.
He came out quickly, assessed carefully the trees I had concerns with, talked me out of some unnecessary trimming I thought I needed and explained his thought process on what actually needed trimming and why.
The appointment was made and I didn't have to wait for weeks.
Very professional, knowledgeable, courteous, worked quickly and completely cleaned after he was done.
I will be using him again with complete trust.

John and his crew just left after doing a great clean up of an over hanging Alder tree (big branches over roof) and a Maple tree in our neighbor's yard that had a large limb over our driveway. They clean up after and made it look great!
John's crew chops all the limbs up on site via their chipper.
His fee was as good or slightly better than others for what is included.
All in all, it took an hour to complete.
I would highly recommend JD and his crew!
Oh yes, he happens to be an educated Arborist too!

They did great work. John was very friendly and the staff was prompt and helpful in setting things up. John just wants to see things done right: there were some trees that some other neighbor was going to trim and he was giving advice for how to do it correctly so it wouldn't harm the tree. Taking off one star for the final work going $650 over the initial bid. It's still a fair price but the initial estimate could have been more accurate.

I've met John at my property after having 3 different "so called arborists" visit. John is the ONLY certified arborist out of a total of 4 professionals who came to assess my tree situation. John was extremely knowledgeable, wasn't trying to sell me on anything, and taught me a whole lot of things during his visit here. According to John my trees are healthy. I've had "I'm almost done with my exams to be an arborist" people come over to my place who tried some FUD tactics (e.g. - you have to take down this tree and windsail the other trees on your property

Super friendly and efficient. We needed a review of all the trees in our property and he was helpful even giving guidance for how to do work ourself. Some people try to scare you away from diy work, so it's a relief to have someone who is realistic about homeowners working on their property. Haven't asked for tree or branch removal yet, but I will definitely hire him when I do.

After a recent storm one of my front yard trees almost lost one of its larger branches. The branch came away from the main trunk and eventually rested on another tree looming over my power line. I got a few estimates and JD tree came in at the most competitive rate. Two weeks later they came with a bucket truck to complete the job.The work carried out was quick and efficient and left me with a tonne of chips for the yard and logs for the fireplace. I'd totally recommend them for tree removal work and I'll be using these guys again to remove the other trees on my property when the time

I called JD Tree Service after a tree in our yard fell down. Since I recently relocated to Washington from California I was very nervous about the health of our other trees after this incident. John walked the perimeter of our property with me and examined our trees; he even educated me on the species and ecology of my trees as well as the natural history of my neighborhood. I was very relieved by John's knowledge and I felt confident of his assessment of my trees (they're very healthy). I found John to be very personable and passionate about his profession.

John did an excellent job evaluating our trees, helping us understand the issues both with the things we knew needed attention and things we weren't sure about or hadn't noticed. He was patient answering our questions and clearly knows what he's talking about.

John helped us out with a large Western Cedar that was damaged during a windstorm a few weeks ago. He was very courteous, prompt and knowledgeable, making us feel part of the process the whole way. Unfortunately, our tree broke in such a way that most of the remaining top of the tree needed a rather technical removal and John and his team were able to do the job without any issue. He was definitely pricey but worth the cost give the technical nature of our job.

My husband and I have been researching tree removal services for a few months now, and finally we settled on having JD Tree Service come out and help us with some trees (2 which we wanted removed, and some pruning also). They are very knowledgeable, and we just generally enjoyed their professional approach. They have been very prompt in their responses. Others have mentioned that they were pricey, but we felt they were very reasonable, given the quality of work, and the safe approach they use. They left our garden very clean after the removal. They told us that they had arranged for someone to

Great service. Not only do you actually see copies of their business license, contractor's surety bond, liability insurance and a ton of references but John actually works with his guys and really knows what he is talking about. They were fast, efficient and knowledgeable and had our fallen tree removed quickly. After meeting with a number of tree removal companies, this was clearly the best.

We had a few trees that were dead and needed to come down. One was a giant Sweet Gum tree in the middle of our deck. The cons I list here are not huge problems - just noticings. I would use them again in a heartbeat. The other companies I had come out had 4 and 5 stars on Yelp, but after talking with a certified arborist, found that they were incorrect about our trees. John was the only one who had it right!

We had another company come to look at the tree we wanted removed and they wouldn't do the job because it was too close to our deck and fence. John came out when he said he would to bid and to do the work. He and his assistant Megan had the tree down plus the trimming of 8 other trees of ours done and cleaned up within 2 -1/2 hrs. We highly recommend JD Tree Service. Everyone we came into contact with was so nice.
