We chose Apical Tree Services to take down a 40ft Cedar that had died after an old oil tank leaked in our yard. They were quick, professional, clean and careful (the tree was right between two houses, directly between the chimneys) and gave us a very reasonable bid. We liked them so much, we hired them to do two other jobs later on. They are ISA certified to do tree pruning, removals, and planting. Also, as general advice to any homeowner wanting tree work done, please contact Plant Amnesty at 206-783-9813 or plantamnesty.org for a list of approved arborists. Some 'tree trimmers' will hack your tree, making it look like...well...it got a bad haircut. Or they will tell you to 'top' your tree. NEVER do this. It not only looks like crap, it will eventually kill your tree.
