Battle Ground's owner-operated arborist crew. Tree removal, pruning, clearing, and emergency storm cleanup across Clark County and the Pacific Northwest — handled with the craft your trees deserve.
From a single hazardous Douglas fir to a half-acre lot clear for a new build, every job in Clark County gets the same crew, the same standard, and the same name on the truck — Lazaro's.
Hazard trees, dead conifers, storm-snapped maples, and full take-downs in tight residential lots — climbed, rigged, and cleaned up the same day. Stump grinding optional.
See RemovalCrown reduction, deadwood removal, structural pruning on big-leaf maples and Western red cedars. We don't top trees — that's industry malpractice. We thin and shape with intent.
See PruningBuilding-lot clears for Ridgefield and Battle Ground new construction, view restoration on hillsides, defensible-space cuts where wildfire risk matters. Permits handled.
See ClearingHazard-tree assessments, cabling and bracing, storm cleanup, emergency response after a windstorm. Same number, same crew — even at 2 a.m. when a limb's on the roof.
See ServiceMost regional tree services route you through a dispatcher and bill out crews you've never met. We do the opposite — Lazaro walks every estimate, runs every climb, and the bid you get is the one you pay.
Tree Carex has been on Clark County properties since 2000. Two decades of Douglas fir, cedar, and maple work in the climate they're native to.
International Society of Arboriculture credentialed. Means we know proper cuts, won't top a tree, and treat each species the way it's meant to be cared for.
Same number we quote is the number you pay. No "depends what we find" surprises after the truck shows up. Itemized in writing, every time.
When a Pacific NW windstorm rolls through and a limb's on your roof — call any time. Same-night response on emergency hazard removals.
Lazaro walks your property, identifies the species, scopes the work, and writes a firm itemized bid — in your hand before he leaves.
Most jobs scheduled within a week. Emergency hazard work same-day or same-night when the wind kicks up.
Climbed and rigged, not bucket-trucked into a tight backyard. Drop zones marked, cuts done clean, every limb chipped on-site.
Final walk-through with you. Yard left cleaner than we found it. Stump grind add-on if you booked it.
From hazard-tree removals to half-acre lot clears across Clark County — every photo is our crew, our truck, our standard. No stock images, no smoke and mirrors.
Headquartered in Battle Ground at 2220 NW 4th St. Routes through the Clark County corridor — from rural Yacolt all the way to Camas and the Vancouver waterfront.
Lazaro is just the best. Walked the property, gave me a straight bid, and his crew was in and out in a day. Took down two big Doug firs near my house cleaner than I thought possible.
Storm took out a cedar limb across our driveway at 11pm. Tree Carex had it cleared and the wood stacked by the next morning. Reasonable price, no upsell, just got the job done.
Got bids from three companies for our lot clear. Tree Carex was the most reasonable and the only one who walked the whole property with me. They cleared 1.2 acres in two days.
Yes. Call (360) 800-7616 day or night. Most emergency hazard removals in Battle Ground, Ridgefield, Brush Prairie, and surrounding Clark County get a same-night response. We carry the rigging gear to safely remove limbs from roofs without further damage.
Depends on size, species, location, and access. Small ornamentals run $400–$800; standard backyard Douglas fir or Western red cedar $1,200–$3,000; large hazardous removal with crane access can reach $4,000–$7,000. Stump grinding adds $150–$400 depending on diameter. Every quote is itemized in writing — no surprise add-ons.
No, and we won't. Topping is industry malpractice — it weakens the tree, encourages decay, and creates worse hazards down the road. What you actually want is crown reduction, structural pruning, or thinning. We'll explain the difference at the walk-through.
Yes — fully licensed in Washington, bonded, and carry general liability + workers' comp insurance on every crew member. ISA Certified Arborist credential. Certificates available before the first cut on any commercial or HOA job.
Yes. We've cleared building lots all over Battle Ground, Ridgefield, and rural Clark County for residential builds. We can pull permits where needed, work around the survey markers, and chip or haul on-site depending on what your build calls for.
