Common Tree Removal Scenarios
A dead tree is one that has lost its living tissue and structural strength, and on a Canby property it decays, attracts pests, and risks falling.
A dead tree near a home or outbuilding is a safety concern best addressed before severe weather.
Private-property removal here is generally straightforward, with rules mainly affecting street trees and development sites. Monkeyman’s confirms the condition and removes it cleanly.
An overgrown tree is a healthy tree that has outgrown its space. Canby’s residential and agricultural lots often have large trees that threaten structures.
The owner is responsible for safe removal when a tree endangers property.
Monkeyman’s handles overgrown removals and advises when pruning is enough.
A diseased tree carries an infection that weakens it from within. Willamette-valley humidity and Canby’s farmland setting foster root rot, heart rot, and Verticillium wilt — the last a concern for crops too.
These infections are hard to detect early and spread to nearby vegetation.
Monkeyman’s ISA Certified Arborists diagnose, contain, and remove affected trees.
A storm-damaged tree has been cracked, split, or uprooted by wind, ice, or debris. Storms damage Canby trees.
More than 50% crown loss usually means removal, though resilient trees often survive.
Monkeyman’s evaluates survivability before recommending removal.
Emergency tree removal is the 24/7 response needed when a tree has fallen, or threatens to, onto a home, vehicle, or power line.
For hazardous and large rural removals, Monkeyman’s uses crane support through Smith Crane.
When a tree falls on your Canby property, we respond day or night.
View clearing is the selective removal or pruning of trees that block a scenic sightline. Canby’s open, riverside terrain sometimes calls for clearing to open valley or river views.
The work preserves the trees you want to keep.
Monkeyman’s opens the sightline while protecting your landscape.
Lot clearing is the systematic removal of trees and brush to prepare a site for building or agricultural use.
Heavy equipment and sectional removal are used as needed.
Monkeyman’s handles residential, commercial, and agricultural sites of any size.

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.

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!

We had a tall black walnut removed from a difficult location; a rather technical job in narrow spaces. They had to work around two greenhouses and garage, not a single scratch on any part of our property. Nelson and his crew were fantastic, careful and REALLY strong! Clean up was immaculate. All the interactions with your company (scheduling and estimates etc) were prompt, professional and confident. We're really happy, highly recommend.
