Tree People’s origins

James is a fourth generation Seattle native, a father, husband, and Seattle tree expert. His love of nature prompted him to set aside his English degree and study tree care. After graduating from UW, James honed his arborist skills between Washington and California, where he learned how to care for a wide variety of species in both forested and urban areas. After having a family James started his own company, Tree People, in his hometown of Seattle.

James is an ISA Certified Arborist, and his mission is to maintain the health of your trees and provide you with bespoke service whether trimming, transplanting, or if needed, safely removing them.

In his off time James spends his time with his family exploring swimming holes in the summer and skiing in the winter.
