Spokane Tree Pro.

The state insures Spokane Tree Pro's crew under workers'-comp classes for tree care and pruning, lawn care maintenance and logging, which matches what the business advertises. The crew runs in the 11-to-20 range. Public work has come from the City of Spokane, Spokane County Public Works, the Washington State Department of Enterprise Services and the Spokane Housing Authority between 2021 and 2024, mostly with the company as prime contractor. Recent right-of-way permits in Spokane Valley point to street-side removals. The company lists Avista in connection with its power line clearance work and describes itself as family-owned. The state lists Benjamin Stanton and Maria Stanton as principals since 2017. Spokane Tree Pro fits jobs like taking down a big or hazardous tree close to a house, regular canopy trimming and stump removal on a residential lot, or larger logging and forest management work on acreage. Tight-space dismantling and careful cleanup are the kind of residential work the crew handles often. It's a tree and land management outfit, so framing, remodeling, roofing or electrical work belongs with a different contractor. Spokane's older neighborhoods carry mature maples, elms and ponderosa pines planted decades ago, often standing over aging roofs, garages and overhead service lines. Newer subdivisions in the Valley tend to have younger trees but tighter lots, with driveways and patios close to the trunk. Before a removal, it's worth asking how the crew will get equipment in without stressing concrete or lawns, where wood will be dropped, and whether a street-side tree needs a right-of-way permit from the city.
