Tree Work in Kirkland

Kirkland Tree Service From ISA Certified Arborists

In Kirkland, every tree 6 inches or more in diameter is regulated. Most homeowners can remove two to four a year with a free notification, depending on lot size, while landmark trees — 26 inches and up — need a permit and are limited to one every 12 months.

A Tree City USA for 18 consecutive years, Kirkland is working back toward a 40% canopy goal after slipping to about 38%. Near the Lake Washington shoreline, in critical areas and in Finn Hill’s Holmes Point Overlay, the free notification isn’t available. Our ISA Certified Arborists will tell you which route applies, in a free written estimate before anything is booked.

Know the Rules

Kirkland’s Tree Rules in Plain English

From Kirkland’s tree code (KZC 95) and the city’s tree guidance:

✓Every regulated tree — 6 inches or more in diameter — needs a notification or permit to remove.
✓A free notification covers two trees a year on lots up to 10,000 sq ft, three on lots up to 20,000 and four above that, with the same number left standing.
✓Landmark trees, 26 inches and up, need a tree removal permit — one per 12 months.
✓Notification isn’t available in critical areas or buffers, within 200 feet of the shoreline, or in the Holmes Point Overlay on Finn Hill.
✓A tree posing an imminent threat can come down first; notify the city within seven days with evidence.
✓Pruning or removing a tree in the right-of-way or a public park needs a city permit.
