Common Tree Removal Scenarios
Trees need to be removed if they are dead and looming about. A dead tree is a host for tree rot, infestations, diseases, and a wealth of other hazards. Dead trees do not have the same structural integrity as healthy living trees. When a tree has died, it not only brings your aesthetically pleasing landscape to a grinding halt, but it also brings with it a number of potential safety issues.
If a dead tree is near your home, it may cause property damage in the next big storm. As many of us know, in Portland we get a real nasty windstorm every few years. Dead tree branches and dead trees come tumbling down in these storms causing millions in damage across the Portland Metro Area. We strongly recommend that you get your tree removed before serious weather conditions remove it for you!
If you have a dead or dying tree on your property that needs to be removed, call us today for a free tree removal quote.
When your tree encroaches on your neighbor’s fence line, the city sidewalk, or someone’s home (including your own) it is your responsibility to have the tree removed safely.
If your tree is about to cause damage to property or cross into someone else’s property your tree must be removed at your expense. As trees in the Portland / Vancouver area grow like crazy, they can disrupt foundations, sidewalks, fence lines and property lines.
Contrary to a dead or dying tree, a very healthy tree may simply grow too fast, and outgrow its original living space. When this happens, it may be necessary to remove the tree before it becomes a hazard or causes damage.
Unfortunately, in some cases the tree should have never been planted in a given space and requires removal. If this is the case for your tree, give us a call for a free tree removal estimate.
Tree infections and diseases are more common than most people think. On the surface, a tree may look green and healthy while under the bark it may be completely rotted or infected.
In the moisture-saturated Pacific Northwest, we deal a lot with fungi infections, root rot, and heart rot infections. Spores and fungi can infect trees as early as seedlings and stop the tree from growing before it has a chance to mature. Rotting is a big threat to all Pine trees and most fir trees.
Heart rot and root rot are very common in Portland. Unfortunately, Heart Rot is nearly impossible to identify until the tree needs to be removed. Root rot is also difficult to detect, but even if detected, it is more than likely going to lead to tree removal at some point.
Another very common disease in the Portland area is Verticillium wilt. Though it may sound like a Harry Potter destruction spell, it is a serious fungal infection that can destroy agricultural crops and bring a short lifespan to an otherwise very healthy tree.

After a storm sometimes trees are damaged either from lightning, wind damage, or other falling trees or branches. Generally speaking, if more than 50% of the tree has been damaged the tree should probably be removed due to the fact that it won’t have enough leaves to create food for the tree in the coming seasons. However, trees are extremely resilient and you shouldn’t always jump to a removal.
In storm damage cases, you don’t shoot the horse because it broke a leg. Really, tree removals due to storm damage need to be evaluated before any action is taken. If the tree is generally healthy and vigorous, still has a decent amount of foliage in the crown, and hasn’t lost it’s leader, it may very well survive.
If the tree’s leader has been destroyed due to the storm, it is possible that the tree may survive, but even if it does, it will likely have stunted growth and may look deformed. In this case, we will work with you to make a decision.

Emergency and hazardous removals can be scary. Point blank. If you ever get a quote from someone that doesn’t seem like they have a bit of reverence for a difficult situation – run!
In a hazardous tree removal you can only predict so much. In many cases, we use the help of a crane. With a crane supporting the hazard, we are able to mitigate the potential damages caused by unpredictable movement or shifting in the tree.
Cranes are expensive, but we have some good friends at Smith Crane and we are usually able to get a crane involved for a thousand or more under the competition.
We also have 30 years of tree removal experience. In July of 2015 we removed a tree from the side of a cliff where every competitor that bid the job insisted on the use of the crane – we did it without one SAFELY and for $2,000 under the lowest competitor’s bid.
If you have an emergency situation, call us day or night.
Portland. The land of salmon, hippies, beer, and… great views. What most people don’t know about Portland is that the entire metro area is home to some of the most breathtaking views in the nation. The I205 corridor runs right between West Linn and Oregon City and on both sides, there are tremendous views of the Willamette River.
In the Lake Oswego area views around the lake are worth a million bucks, or more.
A view simply isn’t a view until you get that pesky tree out of the way. The thing about removing a tree for a view, is that most of the time the view is up on a hill, and the trees are on a hillside. View clearing can be dangerous but worth it.
We have a great deal of view clearing experience and we are positive that after getting your bids from other competitors, you’ll be pleased with ours.

When new construction is underway often times the first step is to remove trees from a lot, or clear the lot of trees. Lot clearing may require heavy equipment like a track hoe or a bulldozer, but before the grading and the “dirt work” begin, trees must be removed safely.
In most cases, trees can’t be taken from the ground and need to be removed in sections. However, usually, the ground doesn’t present many risks for falling debris, which makes the lot clearing project move pretty quickly.
Understanding that many lot-clearing projects are time-sensitive, we can get the job done quickly and without any hassle.
Whether you are making way for a new commercial project or are looking to build your next home, our lot-clearing services are affordable and time-effective.

FAQ
Yes. Troutdale sits at the eastern end of our service radius and we work it regularly, particularly after wind and ice events. Scheduling is straightforward; we do ask for a little more lead time on routine work than we’d need in Lake Oswego.
Because of the Columbia River Gorge. East winds funnel out of the Gorge and hit the Troutdale area first and hardest, and the same corridor drives the freezing rain events that load branches with ice. Trees here take structural loads that trees in Beaverton simply don’t see.
Reduce what the wind can push on and remove what’s already compromised. That means selective crown thinning to let wind through rather than topping, removing deadwood and broken limbs before they become projectiles, and having an arborist check root flare and lean on anything large near the house. Pre-season is far cheaper than post-storm.
Troutdale proper plus the surrounding east county area, the neighborhoods off the Historic Columbia River Highway, the properties toward the Sandy River, and adjacent Wood Village, Fairview, and east Gresham addresses.
Troutdale has its own city requirements, and properties near the Sandy River and the scenic area corridor can carry additional protections tied to habitat and scenic designations. These are worth checking specifically: the Gorge-adjacent overlays here don’t exist elsewhere in the metro. We verify before work is scheduled.
