Far North Tree Services

Far North Tree Services has been serving the Mat-Su Valley for years, handling everything from routine trimming to full removals on properties where the boreal forest meets the backyard. Working in Alaska means dealing with conditions most tree crews never see — deep frost, spruce bark beetle damage, and trees that can drop without warning after a hard winter. The team here knows that context and brings the right equipment for it. Wasilla homeowners trust this crew because they show up, give straight estimates, and clean up after themselves. Whether you've got a leaning birch threatening your garage or need a whole lot cleared before a build, Far North Tree Services handles the job without drama. They work residential and commercial properties across the valley and take pride in doing the work safely and efficiently.

Far North Tree Services covers the full range of tree care work that property owners in the Mat-Su Valley need. Tree removal is the most common call — whether a tree came down in a storm, is dead from beetle kill, or just grew too close to the house over the years. The crew handles removals of all sizes, from small ornamentals to large spruce that require rigging and sectional takedowns near structures. Beyond removal, the company offers crown trimming and canopy shaping to improve tree health and reduce wind load. Stump grinding is available after removals so you're not left with an obstacle in your yard. Emergency services are offered for storm damage situations where a tree has landed on or is threatening a structure. Lot clearing for new construction or expansion is another core service — the team can take a wooded parcel and prep it for a foundation, driveway, or outbuilding. Debris hauling and site cleanup are included with most jobs so the property is left in good shape.

Getting a quote from Far North Tree Services starts with a site visit. Someone from the crew comes out to look at the trees in question, assess access, identify hazards, and give you a real number — not a ballpark over the phone. Most estimates are free for straightforward residential jobs. Once you approve the estimate, they'll schedule the work. For standard removals and trimming, most jobs are completed in a single visit. Larger lot clearing projects may span multiple days. The crew brings the necessary equipment for the job — aerial lifts for tall trees, chippers for debris, and a stump grinder when that's part of the scope. On the day of the job, they walk the site with you first, confirm the scope, and get to work. After the job is done, they do a thorough cleanup. Logs can be cut to length and left for firewood if you want them, or everything gets hauled away. Final payment is collected on completion.

Far North Tree Services operates throughout the Mat-Su Valley with a primary focus on Wasilla, Palmer, Big Lake, Houston, and Meadow Lakes. They also take jobs in Talkeetna and along the Parks Highway corridor. If you're not sure whether your property falls within their service area, call or message them directly — they're generally willing to travel for larger projects that justify the drive.
