What’s Included in ArborPro’s Tree Removal Service

Typically, tree removal includes the take down of the tree, chipping the limbs, and cutting the stump low to the ground. We will include options to leave the trunk wood in 12”-18” lengths or remove it from your property, as well as an option to grind the stump. If a tree removal permit is required that will be included as well.

When you contract with ArborPro Tree Experts for tree removal service in Portland, you’ll have a comprehensive range of options to choose from. Your ArborPro arborist representative will help you select the best choice for your needs, such as:

Tree Take-Down Only - This tree removal service often saves customers money by minimizing the work done and leaving the final steps to the customer. It may include the use of technical rigging, direction falling, or aerial lift equipment but once safely on the ground, the tree is left in place with no cutting of limbs or wood.

Low Impact Tree Removal - This type of tree removal uses specialized techniques to ensure minimal disturbance to your property, surrounding lawns and plants, small structures, and more.

Technical and/or Crane-Assisted Tree Removal - Technical tree removal is used for complex situations involving close quarters or challenging landscapes, while cranes are brought in when removing large trees or when space constraints require it.

Emergency Tree Removal - Available 24/7 for urgent situations like storm damage or imminent safety hazards. Uplifting roots, fractured/separated trunks/limbs, partially fallen trees, or large broken limbs dangling above the ground pose an immediate and serious hazard to surrounding structures and residents.

What You Need to Know About Tree Removal in the Portland Area

If you're considering tree removal in the Portland area, here are some key points you should be aware of:

Hiring an Arborist is Your Best Option 

It's important to hire certified arborists like those at ArborPro who have the equipment, experience, and training to properly assess and safely remove trees, ensuring the job is done right. 

How Long Tree Removal Takes 

The time it takes to remove a tree can vary greatly. It depends on the size and location of the tree, as well as the complexity of the job. Small tree removals may be completed in a few hours, whereas larger projects may take a full day or more. 

When Tree Removal Can be Done

Tree removal can be done year-round, but many people prefer to do it during the tree's dormant season. In Portland, this is typically late fall through early spring. 

Safety Considerations

Homeowner safety is our primary concern. ArborPro's team takes every precaution to ensure the tree is removed without causing harm to people or property.

You’ll Probably Need a Tree Removal Permit

Many municipalities require a tree removal permit to remove a tree from private and public property. Check out our Tree Removal Permitting information page to find out more. Our arborist representatives and the permit specialist in our office can handle the permitting process for you.

Why Portland Residents Choose to Cut Down a Tree

While we love trees, sometimes it’s not realistic or safe to keep a particular tree in place. Common reasons why homeowners in Portland, OR, want to remove trees on their property include:

Dead or Damaged Trees - Trees that are dead, damaged beyond repair, or pose a risk of falling during storms.

Nuisance Trees - Trees classified as nuisances due to risks they pose to property, such as falling on houses or paths, or pulling up water lines.

City Regulations - Challenges in getting the city to address nuisance trees or concerns about the city's response to tree-related issues can lead homeowners to consider removal as a solution.

Safety Concerns - Trees leaning towards buildings, having broken branches or split trunks, or showing signs of decay and potential collapse raise safety concerns.

Unhealthy & Declining Trees - The spread of lethal diseases from affected trees to healthy ones can sometimes be prevented by removing the affected trees.

Aesthetics - Enhancing the beauty of your landscape by removing unsightly trees.

Cut Down These Invasive Trees!

Paulownia: Paulownia tomentosa is an aggressive tree that invades disturbed natural areas including forests, roadsides, and stream banks.

Tree of Heaven: Another invasive species found in the area, the Tree of Heaven can spread rapidly and displace native vegetation, making removal a priority for maintaining ecosystem balance.

When to Remove a Tree

There are several signs that indicate a tree may need to be removed, such as disease, structural damage, or potential safety hazards. At ArborPro, our certified arborists have the expertise to assess your trees and determine if removal is necessary.

Some common factors to consider before tree removal include:

Visible signs of decay or disease in the trunk, branches, or roots

Significant damage from storms, lightning strikes, or other external forces

Leaning or unstable trees that pose a risk to nearby structures or people

Overcrowding or interference with utility lines or buildings

Trees that are outgrowing their space or causing property damage

Our team will carefully evaluate your tree's condition, location, size, and surroundings to provide you with a professional recommendation on whether removal is the best course of action. We prioritize preserving healthy trees whenever possible, but safety is always our top priority.

Not Ready to Cut Down Your Tree Just Yet?

Like us, many Portland area residents would prefer to retain their trees rather than cutting them down. The good news is that even when trees have been damaged by storms, pests or disease, or human intervention, there may be alternatives to tree removal.

Tree Pruning - Well-placed pruning cuts and careful structural pruning can restore structural integrity to damaged trees, helping to maintain their health and appearance without the need for complete removal.

Storm Damage Mitigation - Addressing storm damage through proper care and maintenance can sometimes salvage a tree that might otherwise need to be cut down.

Structural Support - A certified arborist can help you explore options like cabling, bracing, or other techniques to preserve trees that have suffered damage or are at risk of breakage.

Disease And Pest Management - Implementing well-timed and carefully planned treatments to combat diseases or pests affecting trees can often save them from removal.

If a tree must be removed, replanting with native, evergreen, or large trees can provide similar benefits to the environment and property.
