Built on a Culture of Safety and Service

Jon WesterlundMike KingWe’ve come a long way since Kitsap native Jon Westerlund started working in the forest with his father and brothers back in the 1970s. There have been a lot of changes in the industry since then, including increased  regulation of tree maintenance and removal, the availability of more powerful and specialized equipment, and research that has changed tree care strategies. Despite the changes, Jon recognized that one thing that remained constant throughout the years was the failure of tree service companies that didn’t make safety and customer service  their priority. In 2001 Jon opened Westerlund Tree Service, determined to excel in these areas, and they have remained the driving force in the business ever since.

One of the biggest changes for the company occurred in 2015, when Westerlund Tree Service joined forces with Tree King, a successful South Kitsap tree service company owned by Mike King. Mike and his company brought a solid reputation for exceptional customer service, safety and honesty, and the partnership gave the new venture a depth of expertise not found in other tree service companies.

Westerlund Tree Service now serves customers throughout Kitsap and Jefferson counties, including Bainbridge Island, Poulsbo, Silverdale, Bremerton and Port Townsend. True to our roots, if you ask any of our customers about our best qualities, they’re likely to list the same two attributes: safety and service.

Safety

The safety of our customers, their property, and our workers is hands down the most important part of our business. Every year hundreds of workers in the tree service industry are severely injured or killed.  In addition, millions of dollars in property damage claims are filed because unskilled companies promise good work for unbelievably low prices, and then have accidents on the job which cost everyone money. At Westerlund Tree Service we use a combination of highly trained and skilled employees, state-of-the-art equipment and proven tree removal and maintenance methods to ensure that safety is the top priority on every job.

Superior Service

Any company can talk about how low their prices are, but what matters is the kind of work delivered for that price. Our hallmark is the condition in which we leave our customer’s property. There are no big holes, no torn up lawn. We lower big limbs by rope so that structures and surrounding landscape are left unscathed. Debris is chipped and hauled away. When you choose Westerlund Tree Service to remove or prune your trees, cut back broken limbs and branches or grind your stumps, you can be certain the job will be done right the first time. If you'd like, check out some of our customers' reviews on Angie's List, Yelp or Consumer Checkbook. In addition to our crew in the field, our full-time office staff is available to answer your questions and make sure that, if there ever is a concern, we will work to quickly correct it to assure your complete satisfaction.
