Emergency and hazardous tree removals generally happen from storms.
When storms hit the northwest, we often get high winds and even lightning.
When trees fall, they can take down power lines with them.
If they fall on a home or business, they can break gas, electric, and plumbing lines, compromising all structures.
This creates an incredibly dangerous environment.
Here are the common causes of emergency tree services
Most Emergency tree service calls that we receive could have been prevented. As experts, we know this and it is easy for us to see telltale signs on a tree that it is dangerous however to the untrained eye we understand that it is not always so simple.
There are many things that you can do to protect yourself and your family from the catastrophe of having a tree or branches fall during a storm. Having your trees trimmed every year is a good start. During trimming a professional tree service company will be able to cut off any dead or dying or compromised branches.
If you have fir trees make sure that you have them thinned. Wind thinning is a good idea because fir trees have such a small root base and are often the ones in the Portland, OR area to fall. Wind thinning is when we remove branches and thin out the tree so the wind can move through it more easily.
If you see that you have a tree that is leaning, looks like it is dying or diseased or if you are unsure, call Monkeyman’s Tree Service, we will be happy to look at your tree and give you an estimate free of charge.
Branch failure is one of the easiest tree emergencies in Portland, OR, to prevent. By having a professional tree service company come and look at and trim your trees once a year you greatly minimize your risk of having branches break off and endanger yourself or your family during a storm. Monkeyman’s Tree Service will do things like prune any co-dominant branches (ones that are forked) and check for structural weaknesses. If branches have fallen from your tree and are on your home, driveway, cars, or other property items and you need help removing them. Call Monkeyman’s Tree Service today! We quickly remove any fallen branches and immediately send them through our high-powered wood chippers and take the chippings away. No matter how many branches have fallen Moneyman’s Tree Service will have your property looking back to normal in no time. Call today for a 24/7 free estimate.
Stem failure in Portland, OR, most often occurs because a tree has had a previous injury.
This often is the cause of past improper pruning techniques or damage to the branch collar.
When a tree is injured, it grows off the injury but does not become stronger without special care.
Monkeyman’s Tree Service will be able to look at your tree’s stem and see if it’s structurally sound enough to withstand a storm, or if it is a catastrophe waiting to happen.
Another common reason that stems fail, also often caused by neglect or poor tree pruning practices, is a codominant or a multi-dominant stem.
This means the tree forks or there are several main branches to the tree.
These trees are much more likely to fail, especially under the stress of high winds in a storm.
Monkeyman’s Tree Service will give you an estimate to get your tree taken care of before the stem fails.
If you are already in a situation where you need Portland, OR, emergency tree service, we are open 24/7 to help you.

Root failure often dates back to when the tree was first planted.
If your tree was planted too deep or incorrectly, there are a number of problems you could face later, the most common being from trunk girdling roots.
Often, the tree appears to be healthy for 15 or 20 years before it becomes apparent that the tree’s root system is not strong enough to support a full-grown tree and will not allow it to thrive.
When a tree does not have a healthy root system, the whole tree will become stressed.
The tree will not be able to withstand high winds and can be the cause of tree failure during a storm.
Monkeyman’s Tree Service specializes in tree root health and can decipher if a tree’s root systems are diseased, dying, or in trouble.
If a tree has already fallen on your Portland, OR, property due to root failure, Monkeymans tree service has been serving Portland Oregon’s tree service emergencies for more than 30 years.

During your estimate, we will evaluate your trees and discuss the scope of work – whether that involves removal, pruning, or plant healthcare. We’ll assess the condition of your tree(s), surrounding terrain, accessibility, and any equipment that may be required to safely complete your project.
We will then provide a detailed estimate outlining the recommended services and total cost. Our team is always available to answer questions, provide clarification, and help you fully understand your proposal so you can make an informed decision about how to proceed.

The cost of a tree removal can vary based on several factors, including the size and species of the tree, its condition, location, and accessibility. We also consider what’s surrounding the tree – such as structures, landscaping, or utilities – that may require protection and more advanced rigging techniques or specialized equipment.
Because every project is unique, we perform on-site inspections before providing an estimate. This allows us to deliver pricing that is accurate, transparent, and tailored to the specific scope of work.
An 80ft tree sandwiched between two homes on a cliff side containing 18 bees nests is going to cost a bit more than a 10ft apple tree in the middle of a field (and no bee nests).
The time it takes to remove a tree depends on many of the same factors that influence cost, including the size and species of the tree, its condition, location, and accessibility.
Many smaller or more straightforward removals can be completed in can be removed, chipped, and hauled away in 3-6 hours, while larger or more complex removals may take a day or two.
Either way, we’ll provide you with a clear timeframe for your specific project so you know what to expect before work begins.
From emergency removals to expert pruning, our customers trust Monkeyman’s Tree Service for fast, friendly, and flawless results—every time.

They did a great job, and it looks so much better! Great Crew, and I certainly recommend Monkeyman's Tree Service!Posted on C BachmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The crew were professional and did a great job cutting the dead limbs off our plum tree and trimmed out overgrown apple tree.Posted on Connie BaileyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. They arrived in time and the work was more than I expectedPosted on Ken CuddTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Crew 4 showed up on time. Nelson who ran the crew was very knowledgeable and as soon as he saw the widow maker in the tree he said “let’s go get that”. The whole crew was on all the limbing and clean up. They also cut a large branch that cracked under the weight of numerous apples this year. They finished exactly when they estimated they would. I highly recommend them and will use them again.Posted on Mary PariettiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Monkeyman’s tree service was fantastic!

All the interactions with your company (scheduling and estimates etc) were prompt, professional and confident. We're really happy, highly recommend.
