Tree Removal
Trees are vital to our environment, both practically and aesthetically. They're important to the air we breathe and to our natural visual landscape. Sometimes, though, trees need to be removed for a variety of reasons: poor health, inadequate landscape planning, or for safety issues, to name a few. We are specialists in working in areas with complex or tight work zones! We are EHAP certified to work around power lines and we have an ISA Certified Arborist on staff. We provide free estimates always!
Tree Trimming & Pruning
This picture provides an excellent example of the kind of fine work we do! Proper pruning improves the health and appearance of trees and prolongs life within the tree. Careful trimming in Gig Harbor WA removes dead, dying, or diseased wood to maintain and enhance the shape and beauty of the tree, also allowing for more daylight and airflow. We adhere to pruning guidelines established and certified by the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA). Your trimming needs may not be this fancy or ornate, but we'd love to provide our always free estimate for all your trimming & pruning needs!
Cabling & Bracing
Trees may lose their structural integrity due to pests, disease, weather, or just from inherent natural flaws that develop with normal tree growth. When these situations occur, cabling and bracing can provide needed support, enabling the tree to continue safely. Very often cabling and bracing can delay indefinitely a costly or aesthetically displeasing tree removal!
Stump Grinding
Stumps, except those that are a planned part of your landscape, are often less than attractive, except for attracting unwanted pests! Our equipment grinds the stump into mulch that fills the hole very nicely.
Storm Damage Clean Up
We are available for storm damage clean up and tree removal! Our expertise and equipment enable us to take your storm damage response in Poulsbo, Gig Harbor, Silverdale, WA, swiftly and safely from disaster to clean and/or covered until repairs can be effected.

We were absolutely thrilled by the professionalism, safety, and courtesy that your team exhibited while removing the trees. Outstanding work! Your guys even put up with an audience of our neighbors, as this was apparently the most excitement our street has seen in years. So please tell your crew that we said thank you for doing such great work.

I want to share a Thank You and Appreciation to Jackie, Rick, Patrick and Spencer and for Darrel Emel's Tree Service, while once again, providing a 5 Star customer service and satisfaction. I think Jackie felt my apprehension and fear on the telephone regarding a leaning Hemlock in the back yard that could do some collateral damage whereas she was able to have Rick come out the next day to look at the situation and provide an estimate whereas he was able to arrange a crew to come out the next morning in part to the situation and my concern. The following morning, Patrick and Spencer, in the most professional and courteous manner, had the tree cut down and hauled away in chips with a cleanup second to none. Thank You, once again, Jackie, Rick, Patrick and Spencer for your outstanding customer service and satisfaction as Darrel Emel's Tree Service is the BEST!!

A job well done! I contracted with Darrel Emel's Tree Service to remove a hazardous tree from my property. From my initial phone call to the office, until the job was complete, I was treated courteously and professionally. The job was done with big lift trucks and happened just as safely as I was assured it would be. Once the tree was gone, the crew cleaned up my yard so well you couldn't even tell that I'd had a tree there in the first place! If you're looking for outstanding, experienced, safe service... look no further!

They have a great reputation, so it took awhile to get on the schedule, but it was worth it. These are real, certified arborists and they did beautiful work, with a huge pruning job on a dogwood and a sequoia. They consulted with me about what would be best for the trees' health and what my aesthetic was. They created an open, natural, less crowded balance between two competing large trees and removed a huge, nasty Holly tree. All the cuts were made well, no stumps, no topping. They inspired my confidence with great communication and the quality of the work. They also gave me a nice pile of arborists' chips for mulching my garden.
