Customer Satisfaction: Our Low-Impact Tree Service Philosophy
True Northern Lakes Tree Service customer satisfaction comes from respecting the property as much as the trees. Early in my career, I had the privilege of working with a Priest Lake legend known as "Idaho Jack." Jack was an artisan with a chainsaw, but he taught me a vital lesson that shaped our company.

The "Tree Servicing" Difference
During a project in 1994, I was dragging logs across a lawn when Jack stopped me. He told me, "We ain’t logging! We’re Tree Servicin’."
He explained that while logging is fast-paced and focuses on volume, tree service requires a different mindset. When you work near homes, you must prioritize:
-
Landscape Protection: Keeping lawns, moss, and irrigation systems intact.
-
Property Integrity: Ensuring structures, walkways, and gardens remain undamaged.
-
Precision: Moving slowly and methodically to avoid the "speed-first" mentality of industrial logging.
Our Commitment to Your Property
Since that day, we have applied Jack’s low-impact ideology to every job site. We don't just cut trees; we manage environments.
The Northern Lakes Standard
-
Controlled Removal: We climb, limb, and top trees, cutting them in sections to protect the surrounding canopy and structures.
-
Safety First: We secure trees with ropes to guarantee the direction of the fall.
-
The "Clean Site" Guarantee: Our team works in sync to grab and load wood immediately. We don't consider the job done until we have raked the area and used our industrial blowers on all roads, walkways, decks, and gutters.
