2 months agoGeorge was amazing and took care of everything I needed. He was able to beautifully thread the needle with a tall big leaf maple between fence posts. It was awesome to witness. He was super professional and really friendly. -

2 months agoGeorge and his team did an amazing job with trimming back several trees on my property recently. One was a huge sugar maple tree that had been trimmed back several times over the years by the utility company and was in desperate need of a true expert to get it under control and tame it. They did an amazing job and met all my expectations. Great job George and team! -

3 months agoWe had a very good experience with The Honest Arborist. George and his crew removed two 45 ft Leyland Cypress trees from a very narrow space between houses. They also pruned and shaped 5 other large trees and we are very happy with all the results. They are true professionals and took great care not to damage our roof, fencing, and other plants. They left our property cleaner than when they started the job. All debris was removed and everything was cleaned up thoroughly. -

3 months agoI'd give them 20 stars if I could. We recently moved to Everett and have not had good experience in finding honest and reliable services. We finally found Honest Arborist thru a friend (the only way to be assured you are getting someone good). We needed major tree and shrub care in our new home that had been neglected for 8 years We did not need to wait long for them to put us on their schedule. They know what they are doing and did an awesome job. They were thorough and cleaned up after themselves. I couldn't believe how clean my yard and driveway were when they were done They were professional, friendly and very "Honest". Truly lives up to his business name. We feel they were reasonably priced. My son was concerned they would take us for all they could. Far from the truth WE GIVE HIM THE HIGHEST RECOMMENDATIONS THAT CAN BE GIVEN -

4 months agoWe have used the Honest Arborist on three different jobs in our small HOA. He has given excellent advice on how we should proceed with each job. Then he has completed the jobs in a timely manner. He cleans up any mess that occurs. Highly recommended.

FAQ
Does The Honest Arborist offer free estimates for tree services?
We provide free on-site estimates to assess your tree needs accurately. Pricing depends on factors like tree size, location, complexity of access, and specific services such as removal or pruning. Contact us to schedule a visit and get a custom quote tailored to your property.
Are you licensed and insured for tree work?
The Honest Arborist carries full licensing and insurance to protect your property and our team during every job. This coverage ensures responsibility for any potential damage from equipment or falling limbs. Our professional standards reflect years of experience handling trees safely around homes and structures.
Does The Honest Arborist handle tree removal in tight spaces like between houses or fences?
We specialize in precision tree removal in confined areas, such as navigating tall maples between fence posts or removing 45-foot cypress trees from narrow spots between houses. Our team uses technical skills to work around architecture without causing damage. This approach maintains safety and preserves your property's integrity.
What is your typical timeline and arrival window for scheduled tree services?
We confirm arrival windows with you in advance and stick to them, arriving prepared with all necessary equipment. Most jobs, from pruning to full removals, complete in one day depending on tree size and site conditions. Larger projects may span multiple days, and we communicate progress throughout.
What cleanup does The Honest Arborist provide after tree pruning or removal?
We thoroughly clean up your property after every job, chipping branches and hauling away all debris and logs. Your lawn and surrounding areas are left neat, with no stray limbs or mess behind. This includes processing wood through chippers directly into dump trucks for efficient removal.
Why is hiring you safer and better than attempting tree pruning or removal myself?
Professional tree work requires specialized climbing gear, chainsaws, and rigging techniques to handle heights and tight spaces safely, avoiding risks like falls or property damage that DIY often causes. Our method combines careful assessment with precise cuts to promote tree health, unlike improper DIY pruning that can lead to disease or instability. Homeowners benefit from our experience treating issues like aphids while ensuring long-term property enhancement.
