ABOUT US

Priority Tree Service is a family-run, faith-based tree care company serving Vancouver, WA andthe greater Clark County region. Led by Stephen and Jessica Douglas, we are committed to delivering exceptional work, upholding uncompromising standards, and treating every customer with honesty and respect. As a full-service Vancouver tree service guided and operated by ISA Certified Arborists, we approach every project with the professionalism and precision the arboriculture industry demands.

From the first contact to the final transaction, we provide a level of customer service that stands out in an industry where consistency is rare. We don’t rely on rotating staff or temporary labor. Every person who steps onto your property is a full-time employee we train, invest in, and trust. That investment allows us to deliver consistent, personal, professional tree care on every job, whether it’s tree pruning, tree removal, or long-term tree health management.

Our company is built on a defined set of core values: integrity, accountability, professionalism, and respect. These values guide how we train our team, how we communicate with customers, and how we represent our company on every job site. They are the reason our standards remain consistent as we grow, and they form the foundation of the trust our community places in us.

Our ISA Certified Arborists are dedicated to the trade and stay current with the latest standards in arboriculture. Their expertise spans pruning, removals, in-field diagnostics, tree risk assessment, and pest and disease identification. Our crews are trained to prune delicate ornamentals with precision, manage complex and hazardous tree removals safely, and recognize subtle signs of stress or decay that others overlook. When we identify issues such as ambrosia beetle activity in firs (something many companies miss) we don’t stop at the symptom. We investigate the cause, looking for the underlying factors that triggered the decline.

Our approach to plant health care begins with diagnosis, not prescriptions. Injections and sprays may address secondary symptoms, but they seldom resolve the primary issue driving decline. We look deeper into site conditions, stress factors, and tree biomechanics to understand the full picture before recommending any course of action. This diagnostic-first approach is what sets our arborist-led plant health care apart in the Vancouver and Clark County area.

We are also the region’s go-to company for hazardous tree removals and crane-assisted tree work. These aren’t occasional jobs for us (they are routine). Because we perform crane removals multiple times a month, our team has the training, repetition, and discipline required to execute them safely and efficiently. That consistency is one of the reasons we receive referrals from other tree companies in the area, whether it’s ornamental pruning, pest diagnosis, long-term tree care planning, high-risk removals, or crane work.

Homeowners rely on us because when we say we’re going to do something, we do it. Contractors and commercial clients rely on us because we understand timelines, jobsite coordination, accurate pricing, and the importance of clear reporting. Our professionalism, communication, and quality of work have earned us a reputation as Vancouver’s top professional tree service, trusted not just for what we do, but for how we do it. Priority Tree Service exists to raise the standard of tree care in Clark County. We take pride in our craft, we stand behind our work, and we are committed to serving our community with integrity, skill, and the highest level of professionalism.
