Tree Removal, Stump Service & Emergency Response

Tree Removal

Our tree removal process starts with an assessment of the tree’s species, health, placement, and surrounding conditions. The Portland team includes one ISA-certified arborist, and Our certified arborists page provides additional team information. We also offer crane-assisted removal for larger trees when site conditions call for that method.

Stump Removal and Stump Grinding

We provide stump removal and stump grinding after a tree comes down or as a separate service for an existing stump. The appropriate method depends on the stump, root system, access, and plans for the surrounding area.

Emergency Tree Service in Oregon
Our emergency tree removal service is available 24/7 for fallen trees and dangerously leaning trees. We assess the immediate risk, provide risk assessment reports, and help you document tree-fall conditions for insurance claims. Coverage depends on the cause of the fall and the terms of your policy, while proactive tree removal is typically not covered.

Storm Debris Cleanup

We provide storm debris cleanup for Lake Oswego properties following severe weather. Our crews remove tree-related debris associated with the project and recycle it after the work is complete.

Tree Pruning, Reshaping & Health Inspections

Tree Trimming and Tree Pruning

Our tree pruning and trimming services cover routine maintenance, damaged or dead branches, and reshaping for old-growth trees. When removal is the right approach, we can also plant a replacement tree.

Tree Health Inspections

Tree health inspections evaluate visible health concerns, placement, and structural conditions. The findings help determine whether pruning, monitoring, or removal is appropriate for the tree and site.

Licensed Tree Care & Removal Qualifications

Tree work near buildings, utilities, and established landscapes requires careful planning, qualified crews, and equipment suited to the site.

Certified Arborist & Industry Affiliations

Our Portland team includes one ISA-certified arborist and holds arborist licenses in Oregon and Washington. We’re also affiliated with the Tree Care Industry Association and the International Society of Arboriculture.

Our licensed and insured crews follow ANSI Z133, the industry safety standard for tree work. We select removal methods and equipment based on the tree, surrounding property, and access conditions.

Our Tree Service Evaluation & Work Process

Each project begins with an initial consultation and on-site evaluation. We examine the tree’s species, health, placement, access, and proximity to structures and utilities before preparing a plan.

Our project process includes:

Site Evaluation: We document the tree and conditions that affect the proposed work.
Permitting & Planning: We identify removal considerations and plan the equipment and work area.
Project Execution: Our crew completes the approved pruning, removal, stump, or planting work.
Cleanup & Recycling: We clean the work area and recycle debris from the completed project.

Upfront Tree Removal Estimates

We provide free, no-obligation estimates after a comprehensive property assessment. Tree removal pricing reflects the tree’s size, removal complexity, site access, proximity to structures, and the risks identified during the assessment.

Our quotes are transparent and itemized, with upfront pricing and no hidden fees. You can review the proposed scope before deciding whether to schedule the work.

Tree Removal Permits in Lake Oswego

Lake Oswego regulates the removal of certain trees based on diameter at breast height, which means trunk diameter measured 4.5 feet above the ground. City materials have stated different regulated-tree thresholds, including 5 and 6 inches, so you should confirm the applicable threshold with the city before removal begins.

Lake Oswego Tree Code materials identify Type I, Type II, Dead Tree, Hazard Tree, Emergency, Verification, and Forest Management permits. Normal pruning and maintenance don’t require a permit, but topping, removing at least 50% of a tree’s crown, trunk, or root system, or damaging a tree so it dies is treated as removal.

A Type II permit application includes a 14-day public comment period after the required notice sign is posted. Type I, Type II, Hazard, and Emergency permits are valid for 60 days and can receive one 60-day extension when you submit a written request before expiration.
