“They took down a 125' Fir tree 30' from our house on the fence lines… Every piece fell right where he wanted… They even went to the neighbors and picked up small branches and blew off their deck of sawdust.”
“We had a highly technical situation, as most of the branches and tree sections couldn't simply be dropped—they needed to be carefully lowered in a controlled manner… They also left our yard in better condition than when they arrived”

Frequently Asked Questions
- What should I expect during a free estimate visit?
- When you schedule a free estimate, owner Robert Knecht comes to your property in person. He'll walk the site with you, look at the trees you're concerned about, assess their health and structural condition, check access points for equipment, and note any obstacles like power lines, fences, or slopes. You'll get a clear explanation of what work is needed and why, along with a written quote that breaks down the scope and cost. There's no pressure and no obligation — the goal is to give you enough information to make a confident decision. Most estimates take 20 to 40 minutes depending on the number of trees and the complexity of the property.
- What makes K&J Tree Works different from other tree services?
- We are a small, family-owned and operated company with decades of experience on our crew. We provide a highly personalised experience — you are working with our owner from the first encounter to your project's completion.
- How soon can you start work after I approve the estimate?
- For standard tree removal, trimming, or land clearing projects, we typically schedule within 1 to 3 weeks depending on the season and our current workload. Spring and fall are our busiest periods, so booking early helps secure your preferred date. For emergency situations — like a tree on your roof, across your driveway, or leaning into power lines — we respond as quickly as possible, often the same day or next morning. When you approve your estimate, we'll give you a specific date and confirm the day before your scheduled service.
- Do you provide written quotes and contracts before starting work?
- Yes — every project starts with a detailed written quote that spells out exactly what work will be done, which trees are included, and the total cost. For larger projects like land clearing or multi-tree removals, we provide a formal contract that covers the full scope of work, timeline, payment terms, and cleanup expectations. We believe in complete transparency — you should know exactly what you're paying for before any work begins. There are no hidden fees, no surprise charges, and no verbal-only agreements. If the scope changes during the project, we discuss it with you and get your approval before proceeding.
- What safety equipment and precautions do your crews use?
- Safety is built into every step of our process. Our crew wears hard hats, eye protection, hearing protection, chainsaw chaps, and steel-toed boots on every job. For climbing work, we use professional-grade saddles, ropes, and rigging hardware rated for arborist use. Before any cut, we establish a drop zone, clear the area, and communicate with ground crew using hand signals and verbal commands. For trees near power lines, we follow utility clearance protocols and coordinate with the power company when needed. Our equipment is inspected before each job, and every crew member is covered by workers' compensation insurance.
- Can you work on steep or hard-to-access properties?
- Yes — many of the properties we work on in Sultan, Granite Falls, Gold Bar, Index, and the Cascade foothills sit on steep, wooded hillsides with limited vehicle access. We use specialized rigging techniques, rope systems, and equipment setups designed for exactly these conditions. Where a standard bucket truck can't reach, our climbers access the tree canopy using ropes and saddles, then lower sections using controlled rigging to protect the slope and surrounding structures. We've successfully completed hundreds of removals on steep terrain, narrow lots, and properties with no road access to the work area.
- Do you clean up completely after every job?
- Absolutely — complete cleanup is part of every job, not an add-on. We chip all branches on-site, buck trunk wood into manageable sections and haul it away, blow off driveways and walkways, and rake the work area. When we leave, your property should look better than when we arrived. If you'd like to keep firewood, we're happy to buck the trunk into rounds and stack them in your preferred location at no extra charge. We also haul away all debris — chips, brush, and wood — unless you'd like us to leave chips for garden paths or mulch.
- What size trees can your crew handle?
- We handle trees of all sizes, from small ornamental trees and fruit trees to the massive Douglas Firs, Western Red Cedars, and Hemlocks that are common across western Washington. This includes specimens over 150 feet tall and 4 feet or more in diameter. Our crew has the climbing skills, rigging equipment, and experience to safely take down large conifers in tight residential settings where the tree can't simply be felled in the open. For very large removals, we use cranes or specialized equipment when the situation calls for it. No tree is too big or too complex for our team.
