They cleaned up everything and it looks like it did before they started. I would highly recommend PDX Tree Service to anyone reading my review.

Joshua and JP did an amazing job on the six BIG trees and out-of-control bush line alongside the house. Watching Joshua scramble around 50 feet in the air was something else. The trees actually look a lot healthier, and I got a big pile of firewood! Highly recommend!

PDX came up on Chat GPT as one of the top companies for removing tall trees in tight spaces. I guess AI can be useful.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I got three bids to remove several dead cedar trees, and a neighbor wanted a large fir removed.  Josiah showed up on time and spent the time we needed to understand the process.  He addressed all our concerns about this precise crane assisted tree removal job that made the job quicker and safer with less impact. I chose PDX Tree Service (my neighbor did too) because of his experience and he was the only one that recommended a reasonably priced cable system on a larger section of my oak tree that if it broke off, would hit my neighbor’s house.  Great value add.  Sammy in the office was friendly in scheduling and the two climbers Jordan and Brig were very skilled.  They left my property cleaner (see pic) than when they got there, which I was not expecting but pleasantly surprised.  I’m very happy with the outcome.  There are a bunch of tree companies in the area so researching skilled/insured companies is a lot of work and thus the reason I’m adding this positive review to save someone else the trouble of endless researching companies.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was referred to PDX Tree Service to prune a tree for a solar install and I have become a fan of their work. I ended up adding a few other trees to the request while they were here. Grateful for the answers to my questions to help guide me on the scope of the project. I look forward to using them again in a few years! Update - 3 years later: This family business is still rocking it and super helpful for my arborist needs and continue to do great work as a team. This time around I am managing a more complicated project that needs timely execution to allow other teams to work in succession. It was smooth working with folks that are safety conscious, good note takers, considerate of job site challenges, and super at communicating throughout the process.

FAQ About Tree Pruning Services

How do I know if my tree needs pruning?

Common signs include dead or hanging branches, branches rubbing against each other, limbs growing toward your roof or power lines, uneven or lopsided growth, and reduced sunlight getting through the canopy. If you’re unsure, an on-site assessment takes the guesswork out of it, we’ll tell you honestly what’s needed and what can wait.

When is the best time to prune trees in Portland?

Late winter to early spring, just before new growth begins, is generally the ideal window for most trees. The tree is still dormant, cuts heal faster, and you can see the branch structure clearly without leaves in the way.

How often should trees be pruned?

It depends on the species. Most large fir and pine trees in the Portland area need to be pruned every 5 to 7 years, while cedars and other evergreens typically need attention every 3 to 5 years, more frequently if they’re growing close to structures

Do I need a permit to prune a tree in Portland?

For most private property trees, no permit is required. However, a permit is required to prune native trees located in Environmental Overlay Zones on private property. Street trees those in the right-of-way between the curb and sidewalk always require a permit before any pruning work.
