Common Tree Removal Scenarios
A dead tree is one that has lost its living tissue and structural strength, and on a Tigard property it’s a fall risk as it decays and spreads pests.
A dead tree near a home can cause damage if it fails in a storm.
Tigard generally doesn’t require a permit to remove residential trees, so dead-tree removal is usually straightforward unless the tree is a heritage or sensitive-lands tree, which Monkeyman’s checks first.
An overgrown tree is a healthy tree that has outgrown its space, threatening structures near Fanno Creek and beyond.
The owner is responsible for safe removal when a tree endangers property.
Monkeyman’s handles overgrown removals and checks whether the tree falls under any regulated category before any work.
A diseased tree carries an infection that weakens it from within. The Fanno Creek corridor’s humidity fosters root rot, heart rot, and Verticillium wilt.
These infections are hard to detect early and can spread.
Monkeyman’s ISA Certified Arborists diagnose, contain spread, and remove trees that can’t be saved.
A storm-damaged tree has been cracked, split, or uprooted by wind, ice, or debris. Storm damage is common in Tigard.
More than 50% crown loss usually means removal, though resilient trees often survive.
Monkeyman’s evaluates whether a 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, Monkeyman’s uses crane support through Smith Crane.
When a tree falls on your Tigard property, we respond day or night.
View clearing is the selective removal or pruning of trees that block a scenic sightline. Some elevated Tigard properties (such as Bull Mountain) have views worth opening.
The work opens the sightline while respecting any sensitive-lands rules.
Monkeyman’s selectively clears blocking trees while preserving your canopy.
Lot clearing is the systematic removal of trees and brush to prepare a site for building. Tigard development must account for sensitive-lands and development-required trees.
Sectional removal and heavy equipment are used as needed.
Monkeyman’s clears residential and commercial lots and checks regulated-tree status first.

FAQ
For most residential removals, Tigard is less restrictive than Portland — but heritage trees, trees in sensitive lands, and trees retained as a condition of development are exceptions and do require approval. Those exceptions catch people out, so we verify status before any work begins.
Slope, views, and access. Bull Mountain properties often need uphill or downhill rigging rather than felling, careful staging on driveways that switchback, and attention to what a falling section would reach on the property below. View-clearing work is also common here and is done selectively so the canopy isn’t stripped.
Two things. Regulatory: creekside properties can fall within sensitive lands, where removal and vegetation work are restricted. Horticultural: the corridor’s persistent moisture favors root rot, heart rot, and fungal disease, so trees there deserve closer monitoring than a tree on high dry ground.
All of them — Summerfield, Metzger, Bull Mountain, Tigard Triangle, Greenburg, Durham-side properties, and the neighborhoods along Fanno Creek — plus commercial properties along 99W and the business parks off 72nd.
Douglas fir left standing from pre-subdivision stands, fast-grown maples planted in the 1980s and ’90s now oversized for their spacing, and ornamental and fruit trees that have gone years without structural pruning. Most Tigard calls are size and structure problems, not disease.

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![]()
