Common Tree Removal Scenarios
A dead tree is one that has lost its living tissue and structural strength, and on a Clackamas property it decays, attracts pests, and risks falling in a storm.
A dead tree near a home or driveway is a safety concern that’s better addressed before severe weather.
Because Clackamas is unincorporated, removing a dead tree on private property generally doesn’t require a city permit, so Monkeyman’s can handle it simply and cleanly.
An overgrown tree is a healthy tree that has outgrown its space, crowding structures or property lines. Trees on Clackamas lots can expand past their boundaries within a few seasons.
The owner is responsible for safe removal when a tree endangers property.
Monkeyman’s handles overgrown removals and will advise whether pruning is sufficient.
A diseased tree carries an infection that weakens it from within. The area’s wet climate drives root rot, heart rot, and Verticillium wilt.
These infections are hard to detect early and can spread to surrounding trees.
Monkeyman’s ISA Certified Arborists diagnose the disease, contain its spread, and remove trees beyond saving.
A storm-damaged tree has been cracked, split, or uprooted by wind, ice, or debris. Wind and ice storms regularly damage Clackamas trees.
More than 50% crown loss usually means removal, though many resilient trees survive.
Monkeyman’s evaluates whether a damaged tree can recover 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 removals near homes and utilities, Monkeyman’s uses crane support through Smith Crane.
If a tree falls on your Clackamas property, we respond day or night.
View clearing is the selective removal or pruning of trees that block a scenic sightline. Some elevated Clackamas properties have views worth opening.
The work preserves the trees you want to keep.
Monkeyman’s selectively prunes or removes blocking trees while protecting your remaining canopy.
Lot clearing is the systematic removal of trees and brush to prepare a site for building or grading.
Trees that can’t be felled directly are removed in sections, and open ground clears quickly.
Monkeyman’s handles residential and commercial sites in Clackamas efficiently to keep projects on schedule.

FAQ
Clackamas County’s, not a city’s. That generally means a different, often less restrictive framework than neighboring Portland or Milwaukie, but county overlays for habitat, water quality, and steep slopes still apply and can be significant. We confirm which apply to your parcel rather than assuming “unincorporated” means “unregulated.”
The full unincorporated area — Sunnyside, Carver, Clackamas Town Center vicinity, Holcomb, Redland-side properties, and the acreage along the Clackamas River corridor, plus the commercial and industrial properties along 82nd and Highway 212.
Yes. Larger Clackamas parcels come with their own set of jobs: pasture reclamation, overgrown fence lines, blackberry and volunteer alder takeover, hazard trees along private drives, and fuel reduction. We bring the heavier ground equipment those need.
Riparian corridors along the river and its tributaries carry habitat and water-quality protections that restrict removal and vegetation clearing inside the buffer. The rules exist because those roots hold the bank. We identify the protected zone, work outside it, and pursue approvals where work inside it is genuinely necessary.
Yes, and these need planning rather than just cutting. Drainfields can’t take equipment weight, well heads and lines need to stay clear, and an outbuilding roof takes a falling limb worse than a house does. Flag those components at the estimate and we’ll route the work and set drop zones around them.
