Tree Trimming & Pruning

Regular trimming keeps trees healthy, safe and looking their best. We remove dead and overhanging branches, thin dense canopies to reduce wind damage, clear roofs and driveways, and prune backyard fruit trees for better structure and harvests. Late winter is the best time for most Yakima trees.

Stump Grinding & Stump Removal

Old stumps take up yard space, attract pests and can sprout new growth. We grind stumps below ground level so you can reseed, plant or build, then rake up the chips or haul them away. Adding stump grinding to a tree removal visit is usually the most affordable option.

Common Tree Problems We See in Yakima

Yakima's climate is hard on trees. Hot, dry summers, cold winters and strong spring and fall winds through the valley put stress on even healthy trees. These are the issues we're most often called out for:

  • Wind-damaged and broken limbs: large cottonwoods, silver maples and Siberian elms are prone to splitting and dropping heavy branches during windstorms.
  • Overgrown trees near roofs and lines: branches rubbing on roofs, gutters or service lines can cause damage and should be trimmed back.
  • Drought-stressed and dying trees: trees that depend on irrigation can decline quickly in a dry summer, leaving dead wood that becomes a hazard.
  • Neglected fruit trees: apple, cherry and pear trees in older Yakima neighborhoods often need structural pruning to stay healthy and productive.
  • Leftover stumps and roots: old stumps attract pests, get in the way of mowing and can sprout new growth.

Not sure whether a tree needs trimming or removal? Our tree health assessments can help you decide before a small problem becomes an expensive one.

How much does tree removal cost in Yakima?

The cost depends on the tree’s height, trunk diameter, condition and location, especially whether it’s close to a house, fence or power lines. Stump grinding and debris haul-away also affect the price. Because every job is different, we provide free on-site estimates so you know your exact price before any work begins.

Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Yakima?

Trees on private property generally don’t require a city permit, but trees in the public right-of-way, such as the planting strip between the sidewalk and the street, are managed by the City of Yakima. If the tree is near the street, check with the city before removal. If you’re unsure, ask us during your estimate.

When is the best time to prune trees in Central Washington?

Most shade and fruit trees in the Yakima Valley are best pruned in late winter, while they’re dormant and before new buds open. Dormant pruning reduces stress and makes it easier to see the tree’s structure. Dead, broken or hazardous limbs, however, should be removed as soon as possible, at any time of year.

Can you help after a windstorm?
Yes. Yakima’s spring and fall windstorms often bring down limbs and whole trees. We remove fallen and storm-damaged trees from homes, driveways, vehicles and fences, and clean up the debris. Learn more about our emergency and storm damage tree removal.
Is stump grinding included with tree removal?
Stump grinding is optional and quoted separately, since some homeowners prefer to leave the stump. Adding it to your tree removal visit is usually more affordable than scheduling it later. We grind stumps below ground level and can clean up the wood chips. See our stump grinding service.
Do you haul away the wood and debris?
Yes. Full cleanup and haul-away are included with our tree work. Branches are chipped and the work area is raked clean. If you’d like to keep the wood, we can leave it cut to firewood length, which can also lower your cost.

We provide tree service throughout Yakima, including West Valley, Nob Hill, Terrace Heights and Fruitvale, as well as nearby Union Gap, Selah, Moxee, Naches, Wapato, Zillah, Toppenish, Sunnyside and Ellensburg. View all service areas.
