Common Tree Removal Scenarios
Dead Tree Removal
A dead tree is one that has lost its living tissue and structural strength, and on a Tualatin property it’s a hazard as it decays and spreads pests.
A dead tree near a home can cause damage if it fails in a storm.
Because Tualatin regulates private trees 8 inches DBH and larger, removal of a sizeable dead tree may require approval, which Monkeyman’s handles.
An overgrown tree is a healthy tree that has outgrown its space, threatening structures on Tualatin’s riverside and suburban lots.
The owner is responsible for safe removal when a tree endangers property.
Monkeyman’s verifies whether the 8″ DBH rule applies before any overgrown removal and recommends pruning where it works.
A diseased tree carries an infection that weakens it from within. Tualatin River 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, secure any needed approval, 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 Tualatin.
More than 50% crown loss usually means removal, though resilient trees often survive.
Monkeyman’s evaluates whether a tree can recover before recommending removal and manages approvals for those that must come down.
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 Tualatin property, we respond day or night.
View clearing is the selective removal or pruning of trees that block a scenic sightline. Some Tualatin properties near the river or on higher ground have views worth opening.
The work preserves the trees you want to keep.
Monkeyman’s selectively clears blocking trees while protecting your landscape and checking the 8″ DBH rule.
Lot clearing is the systematic removal of trees and brush to prepare a site for building. Tualatin development must account for the city’s tree regulations.
Sectional removal and heavy equipment are used as needed.

FAQ
Tualatin regulates tree removal, with stricter requirements for trees in protected natural areas, riparian corridors, and trees retained through development approval than for an ordinary backyard tree. Given how much of the city sits near the river and its wetlands, this is worth checking early.
Riparian and wetland buffers restrict removal and vegetation disturbance, and mitigation planting may be required where work is approved. Beyond the rules, saturated soils reduce root anchorage — which is why riverside trees that seem solid can go over in a wet winter storm.
Across the city — Ibach, Byrom, Hedges Creek, Tualatin Commons, Nyberg, Sagert, and the Martinazzi corridor, plus the business and industrial parks and the properties along the river.
It affects the how, not the whether. Saturated ground can’t carry heavy equipment without rutting or compacting soil, so we use mats, lighter machines, or climb-and-rig methods and, where sensible, schedule non-urgent work for drier months. Emergencies we handle whenever they happen.
Cottonwoods grow fast, form weak branch attachments, and shed large limbs — which is exactly why they’re common near Tualatin’s waterways and exactly why they worry homeowners. Structural pruning and deadwood removal reduce the risk substantially. Where a cottonwood is large, declining, and directly over a house, removal is often the realistic call.
