About Sound Tree Care LLC


Sound Tree Care LLC is a licensed, bonded, and insured tree service company providing professional, science-based arboriculture throughout the Puget Sound region. Founded on the principles of safety, integrity, and certified expertise, we specialize in tree pruning, removals, risk assessments, and permitting guidance backed by industry standards. Our work is led by ISA Certified Arborists who prioritize the health of your trees, the safety of your property, and the long-term resilience of the urban forest. From routine maintenance to complex hazard evaluations, we deliver dependable service rooted in professionalism and transparent communication.

About Our Family-Run Arborist Company

Sound Tree Care LLC is a family-run arboricultural business led by brother-and-sister team Eric Ledford, ISA Certified Arborist, and Dana Ledford, ISA Certified Arborist and Permitting & Compliance Specialist. Raised in the Pacific Northwest, we built our company around a shared commitment to tree health, safety, and responsible urban forestry.

Our complementary expertise allows us to deliver a higher standard of professional tree care. Eric leads field operations, arborist reporting, and tree risk assessment, while Dana oversees client coordination, permitting, and code-compliant project management. Working directly as owners keeps our work personal, accountable, and detail driven. When clients choose Sound Tree Care, they’re not hiring a sales crew — they’re working directly with certified arborists who treat every property with the same care we would our own.
