Project Overview
ClearTree was hired by a homeowner on Bainbridge Island to improve both safety and visibility on their property. The project focused on view clearing and pruning in Bainbridge Island WA, targeting a maple and two mature madronas located near the power pole, as well as a separate maple in the front yard. Our Certified Arborist personally oversaw the work, ensuring it met both the client’s goals and arboricultural best practices.
