What we do

One crew for your whole property's trees

From a single limb over the roof to a full removal and replant, we prune, remove and care for every tree, all under one roof. Every service below carries the same flat-rate promise.

Straight pricing

One number. In writing. It doesn’t move.

No hourly meter, no surprise line items, no “while we’re at it”. You approve one flat number before the first cut, and that is the number you pay.

01
The assessment

We visit, measure every crown and listen to what you actually want. Free, and it stays free.

02
Your flat number

Climbing, cutting, chipping and haul-away, one line, one price. Approved by you before anything starts.

In writing03
Signed & guaranteed

The number lands in writing with a one-year workmanship warranty. If it isn’t right, we make it right.

The breakdown

What moves the number.

No mystery math. Four things decide what tree work costs, and we walk every one with you before the quote lands.

Size & spreadHeight, trunk diameter and how wide the crown reaches. A backyard dogwood and a century oak are not the same afternoon.
Access & drop zoneHow close a chipper and truck can get, and how much open ground there is to work over. Tight lots take longer.
Rigging & what’s belowA tree over open lawn comes down fast. One over a roof, a fence or power lines is roped down piece by piece.
Cleanup & haul-awayWhether wood stays bucked for firewood or leaves entirely, plus chips and stump. How much goes shapes the day.

Whatever the mix, it lands as one flat number, in writing, and it does not move.

On the job

Real crowns, real local giants, kept standing

From a century oak given ten more decades to a hazard spar brought down between two fences, this is the work we climb, cut and care for across Spokane every day.

"These guys did an excellent job trimming and pruning an out of control tree I have on my property. Lewis was quick to get back to me and professional."

"I got several bids on a tree removal, and A1 Tree Service came in at the best price. Best price doesn't always tell the entire story, though. I'd rather pay more for a job well done, than always go with the cheapest price."

How it goes

From first call to done.

No mystery in the middle. This is the path the job actually takes, start to finish.

01
The tree walkday 1

An ISA Certified Arborist comes out, walks the property with you, and puts hands on every tree in the scope. We check for deadwood, weak unions, targets below, and access for the bucket or a climb, and we tell you straight what needs doing now versus what can wait.

02
Quote lands in writingwithin 48 hours

You get a flat-rate quote by email, itemized tree by tree, so you know what each cut and each haul costs. It spells out crew size, gear, cleanup, and where the wood and chips go, with no day-of surprises.

03
Job gets scheduled1-3 weeks out

We lock a date that suits you and pull any permit or arborist report the city needs first. You get a heads-up call the day before so you can move cars, unlock gates, and keep pets inside.

04
Day of the workday of the job

The climbers and ground crew arrive on time, rope off the drop zone, and take the tree down in controlled pieces so nothing lands on fences, roofs, or beds. A foreman stays on site the whole day and checks in with you before any judgment call.

05
Walk-through and cleanupbefore we leave

We rake the yard, blow the chips off your walks, and haul the debris, then walk the finished job with you so you sign off with your own eyes. You leave with the written warranty on our cuts and pruning in hand, and we do not pull out until you are satisfied.

Good to know

Questions, answered

Getting started
Do you charge for estimates?+
No. Written estimates for pruning, removals, storm work and reports are always free, we visit, assess every tree, talk through the work, and email you a clear, itemized quote with no obligation.
How soon can you start?+
Most estimates go out within a day, and typical projects are scheduled within one to two weeks. For urgent jobs, before a move, a sale or an event, just tell us the date and we'll do our best to fit you in.
What does “upfront flat pricing” mean?+
Before any work begins, we give you one clear, clear quote to approve, prep, materials and labor included. No hourly meter, no surprise add-ons at the end. You always decide before we start.
What should I do before the crew arrives?+
Move cars from under the work zone and keep pets inside, that is all. We walk the drop zones with you first, and everything else is our rigging problem, not yours.
Are you insured for tree work specifically?+
Fully, and that distinction matters: general liability that covers work at height and rigging, plus workers comp for climbers. Certificates land in your inbox before we start.
How do you price tree work?+
Size, complexity, rigging and haul-away, one flat number in writing after the free assessment. No hourly meter running while chainsaws warm up.
Can you give a price over the phone?+
A range from photos, honestly framed. The flat number needs eyes on the tree, that assessment is free and usually same-week.
The trees & the work
Do you climb or use a bucket truck?+
Whatever the tree and access ask for. Climbing spares lawns and reaches where trucks cannot, buckets speed up roadside work. Spikes never touch a tree we are not removing.
What happens to the wood and chips?+
Your call: bucked to firewood length and stacked, or hauled away entirely. Chips are free mulch if you want them, gone if you do not.
What actually happens during the assessment?+
An arborist reads the tree: deadwood, unions, lean, root flare, soil. You get the honest verdict, prune, support, monitor or remove, with one price per option.
Which trees suit my property?+
Tap through the Canopy Studio above for the mood each species casts, then ask during the assessment, right tree, right place is free advice we give happily.
Storms, safety & the Care Plan
Why do some trees fail in storms?+
Included bark unions, over-lifted crowns that catch wind like sails, and roots cut by construction years earlier. Most failures were predictable, which is the argument for assessments.
Do I need a permit to remove my tree?+
In Spokane, often yes, size and species decide. We know the thresholds, handle the paperwork and write the supporting report when the city wants one.
How fast can you come after a storm?+
Hazards jump every queue, usually same-day. Members of the Canopy Care Plan hold the front of that line.
Can you work near power lines?+
We prune to the utility clearance rules and know exactly where our scope ends and the utility's begins. Anything inside their zone gets coordinated, not improvised.
Will my lawn survive the removal?+
Yes. Mats under machines, plywood under drop zones, and a rake-out that leaves the lawn arguing the tree was never there.
Is the Care Plan worth it?+
For most homes, yes: an annual inspection, free scuff and touch-up visits, priority scheduling, and 15% off future projects typically pay for the membership the first time you use it, and keep every finish looking new.
