Graham is an unincorporated community about 16 miles southeast of Tacoma along Meridian Avenue East (SR 161). Properties range from subdivision lots with a fir over the roof to wooded acreage that needs opening up. We take down storm-damaged and hazard trees, clean up after storms, and clear land for homes, shops and driveways.

Storm tree removal and cleanup in Graham
When subdivisions are cut out of forest, the trees left at the new edge take wind they never had before. Wet snow on fir and cedar commonly breaks tops and limbs.
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 Graham
When the storm cleanup is done, or when wooded acreage needs opening for a house, shop or driveway, we fell the trees, clear 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 Graham
Douglas-fir, western red cedar and western hemlock, with red alder and bigleaf maple in wetter spots and along creeks.
Terrain and access
Wooded lots with long driveways, slopes down to creeks and wet pockets. Wetlands and stream buffers can change what is allowed, so we look for them at the estimate and plan a route that keeps trucks and machines on solid ground.
Permits and regulated trees
Graham is unincorporated, so Pierce County is the permit contact. Clearing more than 7,000 sq ft, and almost any clearing in a critical area such as a wetland or stream buffer, is regulated.
