Our love of all things trees is what got us into the arborist business, but we can't save them all. Sometimes a tree has got to go. From technical pruning to hazard removals and more, we have your tree needs covered. In urban settings, trees sometimes require a little help in matters of shape, safety, and strength.

Thinning increases forest accessibility, promotes individual tree health, and it can mitigate the risk of wildland fire and resultant property damage. Tyler and Jen Quintano are the backbone of Sand Creek Tree Service. Over the last decade, they've watched their business grow alongside the community and trees of North Idaho, ever grateful to call Sandpoint home.

A bucket truck joins our fleet to better serve your needs. Though the 2020 season is just drawing to a close, we find ourselves looking ahead to next year and how we might better serve our clients. A bucket truck seems just the thing to handle a diversity of tree.

Tyler and Jen Quintano teamed up in the trees in 2010 and have steadily built a thriving business. Along the way, they got married, welcomed a daughter, and made North Idaho their home. Along the way, they've enjoyed the help of hardworking employees and the praise of appreciative clients. Along the way, they've sweat a lot and smiled a lot and learned a great deal.
Tree removal is often a hazardous endeavor, especially in neighborhood settings. Structures, fences, landscaping, and other trees must be avoided. It's better to have a highly trained arborist remove a tree in a controlled manner than have that dead, rotting or leaning tree come down on its own. Sand Creek Tree Service specializes in removing hazard trees in confined settings.
Thinning increases forest accessibility and is aesthetically pleasing-creating the "parked out" effect. It also promotes individual tree health by reducing competition for nutrients and light. And thinning a forest can mitigate the risk of wildland fire and resultant property damage. There's a term for the impenetrable tree stands common in North Idaho: "dog hair."
Often, clients would like a quote over the phone or via email. Or they want to know our hourly or daily rate. Unfortunately, tree work is complex. Offering an estimate on the phone would make all our lives easier, but it wouldn't be an accurate assessment of the job at hand. What obstacles might keep us from completing the work?
As arborists, our work provides infinite variety. One day, we may be pruning delicate fruit trees, and the next we might be removing a 100-year-old Douglas fir tucked into a tight alley. Some days, we have to lean heavily on our physical stamina, whereas other jobs might rely on hydraulics and torque.

I contacted Travis about their side service Sand Creek Slabs. They had a large selection of wood slabs from a variety of species. He even had a 53" wide cedar cookie that was prefect for my project. I would highly recommend them if you live in the inland northwest, and I plan to contact them again for future projects. My only complaint is that their location is 3 hours away from me, but it was well worth the drive.

They did an incredible job removing 2 VERY large pines right next to our home. They showed up as scheduled and worked very efficiently to bring the trees down in 2 days. They were even thoughtful about where they placed the chipper so as not to disrupt the baby's nap time as best they could. We will be sleeping safer this fall/winter season thanks to Tyler, Jen and crew!

Sand Creek Tree Service has been trimming the trees around my old Sandpoint home for five years and also has removed trees that could not be saved. Jen and Tyler are infallibly responsive, cheerful, hard-working and reliable, managing to simultaneously provide excellent service and be fun to have around.They are excellent communicators. I have referred them to friends who report the same.
Like every skilled business around town these days, SCTS is overwhelmed by requests from customers old and new these days, but when they give me the date they will show up, I know they will show up. Sure, I sometimes

Nice to be busy and booked out! Also would be nice to take the time to seriously communicate so those of that can not get your expert and appreciated services are made to feel like it’s (my) fault! Then he said; “Have a nice day”!

This company is just a great find. They took down four very large, tall, dead trees on my property. They chipped all the branches, cut the very large logs into manageable chunks for firewood and left the property cleaned. Thank you so much Tyler and Jen. Your company and you were a spot-on recommendation.

There are two factors that every business ought to have and yet are lacking in many companies. These two things give confidence to the customer and build value in the business. They are; reliability and integrity. Tyler, and Sandcreek Tree Service, has both. Tyler was easily contacted by phone, understood my concerns in regard to my situation, promptly made an appointment with me, and arrived when he said he would. It seems so simple, but this is not the case when dealing with many businesses these days. Also, after spending much time studying the trees on the property, he did something I did not

I can count on one hand the number of times I've left online reviews but this is a worthy occasion. I can't say enough positive things about the team at Sand Creek Tree Service. I had a massive Douglas fir tree tangled up in power lines behind my home that needed to come down. Jen and her team were professional, highly responsive, so kind and so reasonably priced. They went above and beyond to get the job done quickly and cleanly, somehow even in the midst of a chaotic fire season. I was so impressed from start to finish with my experience with them. There's at least one more massive tree that

Tyler and Jen Quintano and their crew did a wonderful job on 3 large standing dead trees on my property. They made a difficult job look easy. Bonus was the great communication, they were always on time, always polite, and efficient. I highly recommend these arborists for your tree care.

Tyler and Jen are the best: professional, knowledgeable, and pragmatic in how they approach a project. I have a huge job that they have been helping me make progress on over the past few years. They put together a plan of action to help me manage the expense of such a project, which made the whole thing possible. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Amazing level of professionalism and attention to detail. Sand Creek Tree Services was very flexible with their schedule and was able to accomplish everything we wanted in a short amount of time. I really appreciate the willingness to fit us into their schedule on short notice. Quality work and good people. Highly recommend.
