Locally Owned. Rooted in the Tri-Cities.
Berserker Tree & Landscape is a licensed, bonded, and fully insured tree service based in Richland, WA — serving Kennewick, Pasco, West Richland, Benton City, and Prosser. Real climbers, real equipment, and a standard we don't move.
15 Years On The Saw. Still Raising The Standard.
Berserker Tree & Landscape has spent the last 15 years building a reputation the hard way — one job at a time, across Richland, Kennewick, Pasco, and the rest of the Tri-Cities. What started as a commitment to honest work and spotless job sites has grown into a full-service tree crew with bucket trucks, industrial chippers, climbing rigs, and a trained ground crew serving Benton and Franklin counties.
We are licensed, bonded, and fully insured in Washington State with general liability and workers' compensation coverage. Our climbers and operators are trained on modern rigging and safety standards, and we answer the phone day or night — because storm damage doesn't wait for business hours. Every job still goes out under the same name and the same standard: leave the property cleaner, safer, and better looking than we found it.
Teamwork. Dedication. Honesty.
The Small Stuff Nobody Else Talks About.
Any crew can drop a tree. What separates the ones you call back from the ones you never mention again is what happens in the ninety minutes after the saw goes quiet — the raked lawn, the swept driveway, the fence panel put back the way it was found. That's the standard we hire to and the standard we fire over.
- We rig, we don't drop.
Every limb over a house, fence, garden, or pool comes down on a rope. Free-falling weight is fine at the burn pit — not over your patio.
- The quote is the price.
Whatever number we write down is the number you pay. If we hit a surprise, that's on us to eat, not on you to cover mid-job.
- We call before we're late.
Weather, traffic, a job that ran long — if we're going to slide, you hear about it the second we know, not when we don't show up.
- The lawn gets blown clean.
You shouldn't be able to tell we were there except for the tree being gone. Sawdust off the walkway, chips off the driveway, tarp lines off the grass.
- Insurance certificate on request.
COI to your HOA, property manager, or insurance carrier the same day you ask. General liability plus workers' comp, current with the state.
- The owner still runs jobs.
You're not passed off to a subcontractor. The name on the truck is the name of the guy on the saw or the ground line, most days of the week.
A Backyard Saw And A Word-Of-Mouth Route.
Berserker didn't start with a franchise packet or a marketing plan. It started with one saw, one pickup, and a phone number handed neighbor to neighbor across Richland. The first year was mostly weekend removals — a leaner over a fence in Meadow Springs, a dead poplar out on Van Giesen, a stump nobody else wanted to grind. Every job that got done right generated two more calls, and after a while there was no more room in the calendar for a day job.
The shop on Jericho Court came next, then the first bucket truck, then the industrial chipper that made the ag jobs in Pasco and Benton City actually pencil out. Along the way we hired the specific kind of person the tree industry is short on — climbers who take pride in the rigging, ground crew who rake the lawn without being asked, and a foreman who thinks the property walk-through matters as much as the cut itself. That's the crew that answers your call today.
What hasn't changed since day one: the owner is still on the truck most days of the week, the quote you get is the quote you pay, and the property gets left better than we found it. Everything else — the trucks, the gear, the reach of the service area — grew because homeowners in the Tri-Cities decided to trust us with the second job, and then the third, and then the neighbor's tree across the street.
Certifications, Coverage, And The Fine Print.
Being licensed is the floor, not the ceiling. Every crew we send out works to industry pruning standards, carries current Washington coverage, and follows a safety plan that starts before the saw does. Here's exactly what backs up the price on your quote.
Washington state contractor license, surety bond on file, and commercial general liability tied to every job we schedule.
Full workers' comp on every climber and ground crew member. Your homeowner's policy never has to absorb an injury on your property.
Structural pruning is written against the ANSI A300 standard — no topping, no lion-tailing, no shortcuts that shorten a tree's life to save an hour.
Crews trained on OSHA-aligned chainsaw operation, aerial rescue, and traffic-control setup for any right-of-way work.
We coordinate directly with Richland Energy Services, Franklin PUD, and Benton REA on anything within the primary-conductor exclusion zone.
Limb-up, ladder-fuel removal, and clearance pruning aligned to WA DNR Firewise standards for properties backed to grass or brush.
