Buckley is a city on the White River below Mount Rainier, where SR 410 meets SR 165. Founded in 1882 and known for its Log Show, it has old yard trees on small lots in town and river-bottom acreage outside it. We take down storm-damaged and hazard trees, clean up after storms, and clear land when a lot needs opening up.

Storm tree removal and cleanup in Buckley
Winter windstorms and heavy wet snow break tops and drop trees. Cottonwoods along the river grow fast and drop big limbs over driveways and roofs.
We handle:
- Hazard and storm-damaged trees: leaning, cracked, rooted-up or hanging over a structure (hazard tree removal)
- 24/7 emergency storm response when a tree is on a house, car, driveway or road (emergency tree service)
- Cutting, chipping and hauling storm debris so you can use the driveway and yard again
Land clearing in Buckley
After the storm wood is gone, or when river-bottom acreage or an overgrown lot needs opening, we clear trees, brush and blackberry, grind or pull stumps, and mulch or haul the material. See land clearing, or book a land & site consultation for planning help before machines arrive.
The equipment we bring to the job is matched to access and ground conditions. The Puget Sound Clean Air Agency prohibits land-clearing fires across Pierce County, so brush and debris are mulched or hauled, not burned.
Trees we see in Buckley
Black cottonwood, red alder and bigleaf maple along the White River; Douglas-fir, western red cedar and western hemlock on higher ground.
Terrain and access
Tight in-town lots near Main Street, river-bottom ground that can be soft in winter, and stream buffers near the water. Old yard trees on small lots often need sectional removal and careful cleanup.
Permits and regulated trees
Inside Buckley city limits, check with the city about trees in the right-of-way or in critical areas, especially near the White River. Outside town, Pierce County clearing, oak and critical-area rules apply.
Frequently asked questions
Do you come out for storm damage in Buckley?
Yes. Storm service is 24/7. Call (360) 503-0571 if a tree or a big cottonwood limb is down on a house, car, driveway or road.
Can you remove cottonwoods along the river?
Usually, with a check on buffers first. Cottonwoods grow fast and drop big limbs, and near the river the stream buffer rules matter.
Do I need a permit to take down a tree in Buckley?
Many single yard trees do not, but trees near the White River or in other critical areas can. Check with the City of Buckley inside town and Pierce County outside it.
