Arlington tree work is a mix of rural acreage, wooded lots off Highway 530, and properties along the Stillaguamish River. Call (360) 503-0571 for a free estimate.
Trees we see in Arlington
Wooded parcels around Arlington carry second-growth Douglas-fir, western red cedar, western hemlock, red alder and bigleaf maple, with cottonwood and willow along the river forks.
Terrain and access
Larger lots give room to fell trees, but long driveways, soft ground in winter and wooded slopes all affect access and the plan. Along the Stillaguamish, river-bottom soils stay wet and trees can be undercut by high water.
Wind, snow and storms
Winter storms coming through the Stillaguamish valley bring down trees across driveways and roads, and heavy snow some years breaks tops in the foothills east of town.

Frequently asked questions
Can you clear trees for a new home site near Arlington?
Yes. We fell and remove the trees, deal with stumps, and can grade the site for the house, driveway and utilities. If the clearing is large or timber will be sold, we’ll point out permits you may need.
Do you take out hazard trees along long driveways?
Yes. Leaners and dead trees along rural driveways are a common job. We drop them safely, clean up debris and can handle the stumps.
Do you work near the Stillaguamish River?
Yes, but trees in river and stream buffers are often regulated. We’ll tell you if a tree looks like it’s in a buffer so you can check with the county first.
