Certified Arborist Care for Trees
in Northwest Seattle

Northwest Seattle neighborhoods are known for mature trees, compact residential lots, and a mix of historic and modern homes. Areas such as Ballard, Crown Hill, Blue Ridge, and Greenwood feature large conifers and deciduous trees planted decades ago—many of which now require professional pruning, risk evaluation, or long-term management. At Tree133, our ISA Certified Arborists understand the unique challenges of caring for trees in Northwest Seattle, where space constraints, aging infrastructure, and coastal weather patterns demand experienced, thoughtful tree care.

​

We work closely with homeowners to balance safety, tree preservation, and property protection, providing science-based recommendations tailored to each site.

Common Tree Issues in Northwest Seattle

Mature Tree Canopy Overcrowding

Many Northwest Seattle properties have dense, overlapping canopies that limit airflow and light, increasing stress and susceptibility to disease.

​

Trees Near Homes & Property Lines

Older trees often extend over rooftops, driveways, and neighboring properties. Proper structural pruning helps reduce risk while maintaining tree health.

​

Wind Exposure from Puget Sound

Seasonal winds place extra stress on tall evergreens and broadleaf trees, leading to limb failure or weakened branch unions if not properly managed.

​

Aging Root Systems

Compacted soils and limited root zones around sidewalks and foundations can compromise tree stability over time.

​

Renovation & Development Conflicts

Home upgrades and additions frequently require careful planning to protect existing trees during construction.

Recent Northwest Seattle Project – Mini Case Study

Our team recently assisted a homeowner in Ballard with a mature western red cedar that had developed excessive end-weight over the home’s roofline. Tree133 Professional Arborists performed selective canopy reduction and installed a supplemental support system to reduce stress on the primary leaders. This approach preserved the tree while significantly lowering the risk to the structure below—an ideal solution for dense Northwest Seattle neighborhoods.
