Tree Service in Port Orchard, WA
Port Orchard sits on Sinclair Inlet, across the water from Bremerton, and it's the seat of Kitsap County - the heart of South Kitsap. From the downtown waterfront to the Bethel corridor and out through McCormick Woods, the town grew up around tall Douglas firs and western red cedars that are now standing right next to houses, driveways and power lines.
When one of those trees fails, or when a new owner wants a hazardous tree gone before it becomes an emergency, the call doesn't have to go far. This is our home base - Grizzly Tree Service works Port Orchard every day, and the owner answers the phone himself.
Our home base - and the owner picks up
Grizzly Tree Service is based in Port Orchard, which means when you call (360) 286-5323 you're not reaching a call center or a dispatcher reading off a script. Corey Carter, the owner-operator, answers his own phone - day or night. He's the one who gives your free estimate and the one running the work, so nothing gets lost in translation between the person who quoted the job and the person doing it.
That matters most when a tree comes down at two in the morning. You reach the person who's actually going to show up, and you get a straight answer about how soon. For an emergency in Port Orchard we're typically within 30 minutes.

Port Orchard tree service - frequently asked questions
How fast can you get to my house in Port Orchard?
Port Orchard is our home base, so for an emergency we're typically within 30 minutes. For non-emergency work like a removal or stump grinding, we schedule your free estimate at a time that works for you. Call (360) 286-5323 and Corey answers himself.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Port Orchard?
It depends on whether you're inside city limits or in unincorporated South Kitsap. Inside Port Orchard, the City's rules apply; outside them, Kitsap County's rules apply. Some shorelines and steep slopes add their own requirements. We check which applies to your lot before any removal and can help with the application.
Who actually shows up to do the work?
Corey, the owner, is on every job - he gives the estimate and runs the work. On bigger removals he brings in additional help when the job calls for it, but you always have one phone number and one point of contact from the first call to final cleanup.
Do you take care of the stump too?
Yes. Most removals here pair naturally with stump grinding. Once the tree is down we can grind the stump below the surface, remove the chips and fill the hole so you can plant grass or build on top. Everything - branches, wood and chips - gets hauled away.
What does it cost?
Every tree is different, which is why estimates are free. Corey comes out, looks at the tree and the spot, and gives you a straight number. We take card, check or cash.
