Tree Service in Lake Forest Park WA

If your trees are looking unhealthy, leaning, or losing leaves out of season, it may be time to call in a tree doctor—also known as a certified arborist. These professionals can assess your tree’s condition, diagnose problems, and recommend treatment or safe removal.

At Western Hemlock Tree & Stump Service, our ISA-certified team proudly serves homeowners across Snohomish County looking for a trustworthy tree doctor near me.

What Is a Tree Doctor?

A tree doctor is a trained arborist who specializes in:

  • Diagnosing diseases, infestations, and decay
  • Evaluating root and soil health
  • Treating nutrient deficiencies and pests
  • Advising on pruning, trimming, or structural support
  • Helping prevent future damage from storms or stress

We don’t just cut trees—we care for them.

Signs You Should Call a Tree Doctor

Not sure if your tree needs expert care? Watch for these red flags:

  • Yellowing or thinning leaves outside of fall
  • Fungal growth (mushrooms) at the base
  • Cracked or hollow trunk
  • Early leaf drop
  • Branches that die back from the tips
  • Bark peeling or large wounds
  • Leaning trees or root upheaval

💡 Pro Tip: Early treatment often prevents full removal—saving the tree and your wallet.
