Tree problems can turn into big headaches fast—especially in Ferndale, where large evergreens and aging hardwoods are common around homes, roads, and farms. Maybe you’ve noticed a tree in your yard leaning more than usual. Maybe branches are starting to scrape your roof, or you’re seeing signs of decay near the trunk. After a storm, these risks only get worse. A single cracked limb or wind-damaged tree can damage fences, block driveways, or even fall onto your home.

That’s where Earthworks Tree Service comes in. We’re not just a tree service company—we’re part of this community. With over 25 years of experience and a crew of ISA-certified arborists, we’ve worked across Whatcom County and Ferndale’s neighborhoods, from rural backroads to tree-lined streets near Pioneer Park. We specialize in tree removal, trimming, stump grinding, and emergency services—always with safety, integrity, and care at the core of everything we do.

You don’t need to wait for a disaster to strike. Whether it’s routine maintenance or an urgent emergency, we’re here when you need us—day or night. Call (360) 994-1211 or schedule a free estimate to get started.

Complete Tree Services in Ferndale, WA

Tree Removal

Tree removal isn’t just about taking down a tree—it’s about making your home safer. Many of Ferndale’s trees are decades old and located near homes, sheds, fences, and electrical lines. We’ve seen it all: trees splitting after a freeze, roots buckling sidewalks, and limbs falling during strong winds. Our team is trained to assess tree stability and remove them without causing damage to surrounding structures. Whether the tree is in an open field or wedged between a fence and a garage, we use bucket trucks, cranes, and ground protection to perform safe removals, leaving your property clean and secure.

We’ve handled removals near Douglas Road, Malloy Village, and even off Mountain View Road—tight spaces and tricky access are no problem for us. If you have a tree that looks questionable, don’t wait. One storm is all it takes to make a risky situation worse.

Tree Trimming and Pruning

Trimming your trees isn’t just about looks—it’s essential to the health of the tree and the safety of your property. Our trimming services go beyond just cutting branches. We focus on long-term health by removing dead or diseased limbs, reducing canopy weight to prevent wind damage, and guiding the shape of younger trees so they grow properly. Over time, this reduces the risk of breakage, improves sunlight penetration, and can even boost your property value by making your landscape more attractive.

In Ferndale, we frequently provide pruning services to homes around Vista Drive, Portal Way, and within planned neighborhoods with maturing trees. We often get calls from homeowners needing to restore views of Mount Baker, remove branches too close to second-story windows, or thin out overgrown crowns before storm season. No matter the reason, we tailor our approach to the needs of your tree species and your property’s unique layout.

Emergency Tree Removal – Available 24/7

Storms are unpredictable—and when a tree falls, you can’t afford to wait. That’s why we offer 24/7 emergency tree removal throughout Ferndale and the surrounding areas. Whether it’s a pine that’s come down across your driveway at midnight or a cracked maple threatening your roof after heavy winds, we respond fast. We don’t just cut and go—we assess the full site, stabilize dangerous limbs, secure your property, and carefully remove the tree using professional equipment.

We’ve responded to emergencies all across the Ferndale area, from properties near Hovander Homestead Park to farms outside Slater Road. Our crew is fully insured and trained to work around downed lines, vehicles, rooftops, and other sensitive areas. If you’re facing a tree emergency, call us immediately—we’ll be there quickly and keep you updated every step of the way.

Stump Grinding

Leftover stumps are more than an eyesore—they’re a trip hazard, attract pests, and make lawn maintenance a pain. Our stump grinding service is thorough and efficient. We grind stumps below ground level, so you’re left with a smooth surface ready for sod, gravel, or even a new tree. Whether it’s one stump or a dozen, we provide the same clean, precise service every time.

Stump removal is especially important in backyards where kids and pets play. In neighborhoods like Grandview or Church Road, we often remove old stumps that have been sitting for years after a previous DIY removal. We bring the right size machine to fit your space—tight access or large property, we’ve got you covered.

Tree Cabling and Bracing

Some trees are worth saving, even if they’re structurally compromised. If you have a mature tree with a split trunk, heavy leaning, or storm damage, our cabling and bracing solutions can add years to its life. We use high-strength, flexible steel cables and rigid bracing rods to reinforce weak points and redistribute weight. This minimizes the chance of limb failure while preserving the tree’s shape and safety.

We’ve installed bracing systems in older neighborhoods where large maples, birches, and oaks are part of the landscape. Instead of cutting down a tree you love, let us inspect it and see if a support system will do the trick.

Certified Arborist Consultations

Sometimes you just need expert advice. Whether you’re building a new home or trying to decide whether to prune or remove a tree, our certified arborists can help. We offer on-site evaluations and written health reports.

We’ve helped residents in Ferndale avoid costly fines and navigate city requirements, especially near wetland zones or protected trees. When you work with us, you’ll get a clear plan that balances safety, and compliance.

Commercial Tree Services

From retail lots to apartment complexes, trees on commercial properties need consistent, expert care. We work with HOAs, property managers, and business owners across Ferndale to handle trimming, removals, risk assessments, and scheduled maintenance. Our team arrives on time, works efficiently, and always leaves the site clean and professional-looking.

We service commercial properties along Main Street, Labounty Drive, and near the industrial parks off Grandview. If you manage a commercial space, we can set up regular inspections to prevent problems before they cost you money or liability.

Electrical Line Clearance

Trees growing near electrical lines are a serious risk—and trimming them is a job that must be done by certified professionals. Earthworks is trained and certified to work safely around utility lines. We use insulated tools, adhere to OSHA standards, and coordinate directly with utility providers when needed.

Don’t risk doing it yourself. Call us for line clearance and keep your family, neighbors, and property safe.
