I cannot speak more highly of Jim Folger (owner/arborist) at EcoTreeNW and his crew. We needed to have a 125 foot Western Hemlock taken out of our front yard due to internal damage and disease. Jim came out and provided an in-depth assessment of the tree’s health and determined that the tree wasn’t healthy enough to keep. (This was the same conclusion the other three companies I had out for estimates also stated.) The contract process and scheduling went smoothly – Nava, the scheduler was terrific! EcoTreeNW’s bid was also the cheapest which was a bonus! On the day of the job (12/31/18), the crew arrived on time and were all courteous and professional. They took care to park in a way that still allowed for traffic to pass safely and with respect to my neighbor’s property. The crew leader, Nick McCormick, along with Alex (climber), Darrin, Omar, and Tyler (worked on the ground and with the chipper) all worked effectively, efficiently, and safely. Our wooden fence that surrounded the tree was protected with PVC pipe along the top and with plywood next to the fence. We suffered zero fence damage due to the excellent branch management system of the crew. They used a mix of tossing lighter weight branches to the chipper and used a rope system to lower larger/heavier branches. There was minimal under-story damage. For the small breaks that did occur, the crew pruned off the damaged parts. The cleanup following the tree removal was incredibly complete and even included the majority of the sawdust! I have already recommended EcoTreeNW to two other families and will not hesitate to recommend them to anyone in need of tree work. They did a superb job! THANK YOU!
