Project Overview
ClearTree recently completed a Half Day Rate project for a homeowner in Kingston, WA, focused on detailed pruning and tree removal to improve safety, manage growth, and preserve long-term tree health. Our crew arrived with our full professional setup:
- Flatbed Truck + Dino Lift + Trailer
- Chip Truck + Bandit Wood Chipper
- Avant Loader (ground-friendly and drainfield-safe)
A Certified Arborist oversaw the entire job to ensure proper pruning standards, structural safety, and high-quality results.
Scope of Work
1. Pruning of 4 Deciduous Trees (Across the Property)
Our team performed structural pruning on four mature deciduous trees positioned around the property.
Specifications:
- Reduced canopy size by 15–20%
- Ensured no cuts exceeded 2 inches in diameter
- Focused on proper pruning cuts to encourage natural shape and healthy growth
Purpose:
- Long-term growth management
- Limb failure mitigation, especially during fall and winter storms
Service Included:
- Branch chipping
- Raking small debris for a clean finish



2. Pruning of Hemlock Hedge (Left Side of Driveway)
This hemlock hedge had begun to creep outward, narrowing the driveway approach. Using our commercial-grade hedge trimmers, we restored a clean, symmetrical shape.


Specifications:
- Reduced canopy size by 15–20%
- Maintained internal structure by keeping all cuts under 2 inches in diameter
Purpose:
- Renewed hedge form
- Reduced risk of snow load or wind-related branch failure
Service Included:
- Chipping all trimmings
- Full light debris cleanup
3. Removal of 1 Spruce Tree (Behind the Shed)
The homeowner requested the removal of a declining spruce tree positioned tight behind a shed. The placement required precision cutting and controlled takedown.

Specifications:
- Removed to a low stump
- No impact to the shed or surrounding structures
Service Included:
- Chipping all branches
- Leaving wood in log-length at the base of the tree (per homeowner’s preference)
- Light raking and final cleanup
