Our Services

While our main goal at Green River Tree Works is to keep trees healthy and thriving, we understand that removal is sometimes the safest or most practical option. Whether it's due to safety concerns, property damage, or future construction, we’re here to help you make the right call.
Common reasons for tree removal include:
The tree is dead, dying, or severely diseased
It’s outgrown its space and poses structural issues
Roots are damaging sidewalks, driveways, or foundations
Branches are too close to roofs, windows, or power lines
The tree has suffered storm damage
Property owner preference
Land clearing for new building or development
Before any removal, one of our trained professionals will assess the tree’s condition to see if it can be preserved. If removal is the best option, we’ll handle the job with care—using safe techniques, avoiding unnecessary landscape damage, and leaving the area clean and clear of debris.
At Green River Tree Works, we treat your property with the same respect we’d give our own.

At Green River Tree Works, we offer expert view pruning services that enhance your property's natural beauty without compromising tree health. Whether you’re looking to open up a mountain vista, improve sunlight to your home, or restore a scenic overlook, our approach balances visibility with environmental care.
What is View Pruning?
View pruning is the selective trimming or thinning of branches to improve or restore a desired view—such as a lake, valley, or ridgeline—while preserving the health, structure, and long-term vitality of the tree.
Our Approach
Every view pruning project begins with a site assessment. Our ISA-certified arborists:
Identify the ideal sightline and view corridor
Carefully remove or reduce specific limbs while minimizing stress on the tree
Maintain natural form and balance
Ensure long-term health and structural integrity
We avoid topping or aggressive cutting that can lead to decay or instability. Our methods follow best arboricultural practices and respect both your property goals and the surrounding ecosystem.
Benefits of View Pruning

Tree Cabling & Bracing
Green River Tree Works offers expert tree cabling and bracing services to support weak or structurally compromised trees—helping them stay upright, healthy, and safe for years to come.
What Is Tree Cabling?
Tree cabling involves installing high-strength, flexible steel cables between major branches or trunks to reduce strain and improve structural stability. This non-invasive support system helps prevent:
Limb or trunk splitting
Failure during storms or high winds
Damage to surrounding property
The need for premature tree removal
When Is Cabling Needed?
Cabling is ideal for trees that have:
Co-dominant stems or weak branch unions
Overextended or heavy limbs
Signs of internal cracks or stress
High value (historic, sentimental, or aesthetic trees)
Our certified arborists assess each situation to determine if cabling, bracing, or a combination of both is the best solution. We use industry-grade hardware and precise installation techniques to minimize impact on the tree and surrounding landscape.
Benefits of Tree Cabling
Extends the life of mature or vulnerable trees
Helps preserve the natural shape and beauty of the canopy
Increases safety for people, pets, and property below
Avoids or delays costly removals
