Rooted in the timber traditions of the South Sound, Johnny Chainsaw’s Tree Service was built by John Sawtell — a Washington native raised in a generational logging family where life started in the back of the truck and revolved around hard work, chainsaws, and the woods. Logging wasn’t just a job — it was the family trade. Following in his family’s footsteps, John spent years in the logging industry before eventually trading large-scale logging for something more personal: helping homeowners and businesses responsibly care for the trees on their properties.

Today, Johnny Chainsaw’s Tree Service combines old-school logging knowledge with precision tree care and honest, straightforward service throughout the South Sound. John brings decades of hands-on tree felling experience to every project, whether it’s a technical removal over a home with large hazard trees, storm cleanup, commercial property maintenance or routine residential trimming, understanding how wood behaves when its cut matters.

Ironically, this former logger has become a bit of a tree hugger over the years. If a tree can be saved — or if John thinks you might regret cutting it down later — he’ll probably tell you. But if removal is truly the right call, or if you simply want it gone, he’ll handle it safely, efficiently, and professionally. In true Pacific Northwest fashion, for every tree removed, another is planted in its place.

Fully licensed, bonded, and insured, Johnny Chainsaw’s Tree Service provides full-service tree work for both residential and commercial clients throughout the South Sound, including:

• Tree Felling & Removals

From backyard cleanups to large commercial projects, no job is too big or too small. Just honest work, local roots, and generations of experience working safely in the trees of the Pacific Northwest.
