From the cottonwoods along the river by Millwood to the ponderosa shading half your backyard, we remove, trim, and grind stumps all over the Valley, with a free written estimate for you.
Lots run bigger out here, and so do the trees. We handle removal, trimming, and stump grinding all over Spokane Valley, licensed, bonded, and insured, with free written estimates and the cleanup built into every job.
Anyone who calls Spokane Valley "East Spokane" has never tried to pull a permit here. The Valley runs its own Development Services department, its own right-of-way rules, and a land pattern that looks nothing like the neighborhoods west of the river. Along the commercial frontage on Sprague Avenue and Sullivan Road, mature trees hang over parking lots, power lines, and the signs businesses count on being seen, and that work goes through the City of Spokane Valley, not the City of Spokane. We're out here every week, so we can tell you before anything starts whether the city typically requires a call.
On the residential side, plenty of Valley neighborhoods answer to an HOA. Communities in Greenacres, Opportunity, and along the Molter Road corridor often want proof of insurance and written approval before anything happens on a common area or easement. Ask us what the coordinators out here typically ask to see.
The crew covers the Valley end to end, from Millwood and the Dishman side on the west out through Greenacres toward Liberty Lake Road on the east. Estimates are free, on-site, and in writing: one specific number for the job in front of us, not an hourly meter and not a range that means nothing.
Ponderosas are the backdrop of the Valley. They climb out of the Dishman Hills and tower over back fences from Opportunity to Otis Orchards. A healthy one is a fine thing to live under; a dead limb hanging over the shop roof is not. We check ponderosas for deadwood and weak unions, clear the hazards, and when one has to come down whole, we bring the rigging and the crew a tree that size demands.
Cottonwoods love the low ground near the Spokane River and the old channels around Millwood, and they grow like they're in a hurry. Fast shade, brittle wood. When the wind funnels down the valley, cottonwood limbs are usually the first thing lying in the yard. If one is crowding your house, your driveway, or your power drop, taking it down on a calm day beats picking it up after a storm. We remove cottonwoods whole and haul every stick.
Birch and aspen show up in yards all over the Valley for the white bark and the fall color. Both stay healthiest on a regular trim: thinning crossed branches, clearing deadwood, and keeping the shape the tree wants rather than the one neglect gives it. We prune them with a light hand so they still look like themselves when we leave.
Crabapples, flowering plums, and ornamental cherries line driveways from Millwood to Greenacres. A once-a-year pruning keeps them blooming, keeps their size in check, and keeps them from tangling into a thicket. It's careful, seasonal work, and the difference between a shaped tree and a butchered one is the crew holding the saw.
The postwar neighborhoods around Opportunity and Dishman are full of maples, oaks, and elms that have had decades to spread over rooftops and shade whole backyards. Crown reductions, hazard-limb removals, and full takedowns at that scale are equipment-and-judgment work, where one wrong cut can cost a garage roof. We bring both the gear and the judgment, and we've used them in yards just like yours.
Controlled takedowns near houses, shops, fences, and power drops, from small ornamentals to full-grown ponderosa pine. We rig for tight corners on big Valley lots, and cleanup is part of the job. See our tree removal page.
Pruning that clears rooflines, walks, and driveways while keeping pines, maples, and ornamentals healthy for the long haul. We shape the tree; we never top it. See our trimming page.
We grind stumps below grade and clear the chips so you can seed, sod, or plant right over the spot. Priced per stump, with a better rate when we grind several in one trip. See our stump grinding page.
Downed trees, blocked driveways, limbs resting on a roof: storm calls get priority attention across the Valley. Call (509) 632-4080 to check on timing.
The city writes its own permits. Spokane Valley incorporated in 2003 and runs its own Development Services department, separate from the City of Spokane. Removals near the right-of-way, work in critical areas, and projects that clear significant vegetation can need a Valley permit, not a Spokane one. We can tell you which jobs typically need the phone call and which don't.
The HOA is the real gatekeeper on plenty of streets. Newer subdivisions in Greenacres, Veradale, and off Barker Road usually want a certificate of insurance naming the association, plus written scope approval, before anyone touches a tree near a common easement or property line. Ask us what your association typically requires.
Commercial frontage is its own kind of job. The trees along Sprague and Sullivan lean over traffic, overhead lines, and the signs businesses depend on. That work takes deliberate equipment staging, an eye on the roadway, and coordination with Avista or Puget Sound Energy anywhere limbs run near power. It is not backyard pruning, and we don't treat it like it.
The wind runs right down the valley floor. The same storms that rake the Palouse funnel through this low corridor and shake loose whatever was ready to fail. Storm calls get priority attention, call or text and we'll tell you honestly what the schedule looks like.
Paperwork happens at the estimate, not the last minute. Property managers and associations out here like written scope and documentation before day one. Ask about it during your free estimate, so when the crew arrives the only thing left to do is the work.
Fall and winter windstorms funnel straight down the Valley floor, and when one passes through, storm calls get priority attention: downed trees, blocked driveways, anything resting on a structure.
For everything that isn't urgent, call or text and we'll tell you honestly what the schedule looks like. We tell you when we're coming and we show up when we said we would. Nobody should burn a vacation day waiting on a tree crew.
Urgent or routine, call or text Spokane Tree Pros at (509) 632-4080 and we'll take it from there.
Spokane Valley writes its own permit rules, separate from the City of Spokane. Most removals on your own property don't need one, but trees near the right-of-way, in critical areas, or on lots with protected vegetation can need a sign-off from the City of Spokane Valley's Development Services department. We sort that out during your free estimate and make the call to the city if one is needed.
What a residential removal in Spokane Valley costs depends on the tree's size, where it stands, and how easily we can get equipment to it. A small ornamental in an open yard is a simpler job than a big ponderosa over a fence line. We put a written estimate in your hand after walking the job in person, so the number you see is the number for your tree.
Yes, and we come ready for the paperwork. Subdivisions around Greenacres, Veradale, and Barker Road usually want a certificate of insurance and written scope approval before work starts. We've been through that routine plenty of times, so it doesn't hold up your job.
Yes. When a tree is down across a driveway or resting on a roof, that call gets priority attention. Call (509) 632-4080 and we'll tell you honestly what the schedule looks like.
Yes. Frontage trees along Sprague Avenue and Sullivan Road hang over parking lots, signage, and power lines, so the work takes careful staging, traffic awareness, and sometimes coordination with Avista or Puget Sound Energy before a saw starts. Reach out and we'll walk the site and write up a commercial estimate.
All of it: Millwood, Dishman, Opportunity, Veradale, Greenacres, Otis Orchards, and out along the Liberty Lake Road corridor. Whether you're inside city limits or in the unincorporated county just beyond, we can get to you, and routine estimates usually land within a day or two.
Yes. Unless you ask us to leave trunk wood for firewood, we haul the brush and limbs, then rake and blow the work area before we go. The only sign we were there should be the missing tree.
We handle tree removal, trimming, and stump grinding in Millwood, Dishman, Opportunity, Veradale, Greenacres, and Otis Orchards, along the Sprague Avenue, Sullivan Road, Barker Road, and Liberty Lake Road corridors, and out into the surrounding unincorporated Spokane County.
