Tree Pruning & Tree Trimming

Promote healthier, safer, and more attractive trees with our professional pruning services. Our certified arborists remove dead or damaged limbs, enhance structure using cable and bracing. 

Tree Removal
Our professional tree service team has cranes for all tree removal services, stump removal, and debris clean up. We can work in tight or hard-to-reach spaces. 

Stump Grinding

Over time, leaving a stump in the ground can become an inconvenience and an eyesore. Instead of digging up and removing a stump, our team focuses on stump grinding. This method is more efficient and less intrusive. Combine tree & stump removal to clear your yard all at once.

Tree Fertilization & Soil Amendments

At Monster Tree Service, we check your trees and shrubs. We also look at the soil quality and other growing conditions on your property. Then our expert arborists identify the root causes of plant stress, pests or diseases to develop tailored solutions for your property.

Tree Cabling & Support Systems 

Tree support like cabling, bracing, and guying are ways to help prevent trees from falling due to weak spots, high winds, or ice weight. We offer several different cabling options:

• Static Cabling refers to using heavy-duty aircraft cable, anchored to each limb and installed taut.
• Dynamic Cabling refers to non-invasive nylon cable, adjustable over time and not as taut as steel.
• Bracing uses metal bracing rods onto splitting limbs or trunks to bolt them back together and help prevent further tearing.

Arborist Assessments 

Most of our expert consultants are certified by the International Society of Arboriculture* (ISA), the preeminent certification for arborists worldwide. Our team discuss recommendations on tree health, tree planting, tree canopy and tree trimming services.

Tree Care FAQs for Oregon City Residents

What are the best practices for planting new trees in Oregon City?

Planting new trees in Oregon City requires careful consideration and proper techniques. Here are some best practices:

• Choose native or well-adapted species that thrive in our climate
• Plant during spring or fall for optimal root establishment
• Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball, but no deeper
• Remove any burlap or wire baskets from the root ball
• Backfill with native soil, avoiding amendments
• Water thoroughly and regularly for the first growing season
• Apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch around the base, keeping it away from the trunk

What are some seasonal care tips for native and ornamental trees in Oregon City?

Proper seasonal care ensures the health and longevity of your trees. Here's a breakdown:

Spring:

• Inspect for winter damage and prune dead or damaged branches
• Apply a slow-release fertilizer if needed
• Plant new trees
• Monitor for early signs of pests or diseases

Summer:

• Water deeply during dry spells, especially for young or newly planted trees
• Apply mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds
• Watch for signs of heat stress or drought damage

Fall:

• Plant new trees before the first frost
• Rake and remove fallen leaves to prevent disease
• Reduce watering as temperatures cool
• Avoid fertilizing, which can stimulate new growth vulnerable to winter damage

Winter:

• Prune deciduous trees when dormant
• Protect young trees from frost damage with burlap wraps
• Gently remove heavy snow from branches to prevent breakage

What are common tree diseases and pests in the Oregon City area, and how can they be managed?

Oregon City trees face several common threats. Here are some to watch for:

Diseases:

• Dutch Elm Disease: Affects elm trees; remove infected trees promptly
• Verticillium Wilt: Impacts maples and other hardwoods; prune out affected branches
• Root Rot: Often caused by overwatering; improve drainage and avoid excess moisture

Pests:

• Emerald Ash Borer: Threatens ash trees; preventive treatments available
• Douglas-fir Beetle: Attacks stressed or fallen Douglas-firs; remove infested trees
• Spider Mites: Common in dry conditions; use forceful water sprays or insecticidal soaps

For effective management, consult with a certified arborist or the Oregon State University Extension Service for tailored advice.

What are the recommended pruning and maintenance schedules for trees in Oregon City?

Proper pruning and maintenance are crucial for tree health and safety. Here's a general guide:

• Young Trees: Prune annually to establish proper structure
• Mature Trees: Inspect annually, prune every 3-5 years or as needed
• Fruit Trees: Prune in late winter before new growth begins
• Evergreens: Minimal pruning needed; remove dead or diseased branches as they appear

Remember, the best time to prune most trees is during their dormant season, typically late fall to early spring. Avoid pruning during the spring growth flush or in late summer, as this can stress the tree and attract pests.

What regulations or permits are required for tree removal or significant pruning in Oregon City?

Oregon City has specific guidelines for tree care and removal:

• Tree Removal Permits: Required if the tree affects an approved landscaping plan, is protected by a recorded covenant, landscape easement, or bears a Heritage Tree designation
• Street Trees: Residents can prune street trees abutting their property without a permit, but removal requires city approval
• Significant Pruning: Normal pruning and maintenance don't require permits, but tree topping is prohibited
• Protected Trees: Some trees may have special protections; check with the city before any major work

Always consult with the Oregon City Planning Division or visit the city's website for the most up-to-date regulations before undertaking any significant tree work.
