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 is a concern for crops, too.
These infections are hard to detect early and can 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.

FAQ
Canby’s residential requirements are generally lighter than Portland’s, with street trees, public trees, and trees in regulated natural areas handled differently from trees in your yard. Agricultural land outside city limits falls under county rules instead. We confirm which applies to your address.
Yes — it’s a significant share of our work here. That includes windbreak and shelter-row maintenance, hazard trees along field edges and private drives, orchard and nursery stock removal, fence-line clearing, and reclaiming acreage overtaken by blackberry and volunteer growth.
Yes. Mature poplar, fir, and cedar windbreak rows eventually become the hazard they were planted to prevent — leaning trees, deadwood over equipment paths, and gaps that funnel wind rather than break it. We can thin, restore, or remove and replant a row while keeping the shelter function intact.
River-adjacent land carries riparian protections limiting removal and vegetation work in the buffer, and the soils there stay saturated well into spring. Cottonwood and willow along those banks are also naturally limb-shedding species. Both the rules and the root conditions get factored in before we quote.
Yes. Canby is inside our service radius and we schedule routine pruning, removals, stump grinding, and clearing here as normal work. For larger acreage jobs we’ll often batch the day so you get the full crew and equipment in one visit.

Current Review from October 1. 2026: We had several trees that needed pruning along with some big hedges. As usual, we called Monkeyman's, which is always reliable. Katie in the office is great, David, the arborist who estimated the job was thorough and helpful, and the crew who came out was excellent. Brooks was the crew leader and arborist who gave us great advice about each tree and made sure we were satisfied with the pruning. Brandon and Romondo (hope that is correct spelling!) did exceptional work too. The clean up was great. It's always a pleasure to work with this company. Review from two years ago: We had overgrown Leyland Cypress trees in our back yard that needed to be removed. We had used Monkeyman's service before with great results, so we called them again. Matt, the arborist, came out to give us an estimate. He was so knowledgable about trees and gave us such good advice about our situation. He is a real asset to the company! The estimate was reasonable. Leo and his crew came out and removed a gigantic tree, along with three other large trees. The crew was amazing and all of them worked so hard and did a wonderful job. Cleanup was great too. We highly recommend Monkeyman's.Posted on Google![]()

First, we really appreciated the knowledge and suggestions the arborist had for us when he came out to analyze the situation. We werel REALLY impressed with the 4 young men that came to cut large, dead branches on a very old, tall Doug Fir. Each one introduced themselves by name and were friendly and listened. It was amazing to see them work and problem solve as a team. They even cut down some small dead branches in addition to the ones we contracted for. Not one shrub or plant near the tree was disturbed and the clean up was outstanding! Big thanks to Giovanni, Gavin, Marcus, and Shaden. We didn't give a 5 star rating because there was some misunderstanding about the time they were to come. The contract gave a starting window; but the day before they were to come, the office called to make it 7:30am instead, way too early for all of that noise & bothering the nearby neighbors. After talking to the office, they did come at a reasonable hour- 8:45. We will definately recommend Monkeyman's to friends and neighbors.Posted on Google![]()

This was our second time using Monkeyman's Tree Service and I'm really glad we decided to go with them again! Communication was great. Cost was reasonable and we got on the schedule pretty fast too. They trimmed dead branches from all of our 6 large trees, raised the canopy and added a safety support system to our towering cherry tree as well. Everything looked wonderful and fresh at the end and they cleaned up the property thoroughly. We will definitely use these guys again for any future tree stuff!Posted on Google![]()

They did a great job trimming some very, very tall trees. No mess, in fact they cleaned up a lot of the debris that had gathered in the area that I couldn’t get to before they arrived!Posted on Google![]()
