How It Works
From first call to final walkthrough, we handle every detail so you don’t have to.
We evaluate the tree’s health, lean, root zone, and fall path.
We determine whether a City of Portland or county tree permit is required.
We identify equipment access, drop zones, and protection for adjacent structures.
We use directional felling for open sites, or crane and rope-lowering for confined urban environments.
Stump is ground 12–18 inches below grade, suitable for lawn restoration or construction.
All debris is chipped, mulched, or hauled. Site is raked clean.

We run a modern fleet of purpose-built land clearing equipment – ensuring every project is completed efficiently, safely, and on schedule.

Common Questions
Tree removal in Portland ranges from $400–$600 for a small residential tree to $3,000–$8,000+ for large mature Douglas firs or technical removals near structures. Stump grinding is typically $150–$400 depending on diameter. We provide free written estimates.
Trees 12 inches or greater in diameter (DBH) on private property in the City of Portland require a permit from Portland Urban Forestry. Permits cost $175–$250 and take 10–15 business days. We handle this for you as part of our service.
Yes. We use technical rigging, aerial lift equipment, and in some cases cranes to safely remove trees with zero swing radius next to structures, fences, or power lines. This is a specialty of our certified arborist team.
Options include: chipping into mulch (left on-site or hauled away), log-length cut for customer use as firewood, or full haul-away to certified facilities. We discuss your preference during the estimate.
A historic craftsman home was removed using a combination of aerial lift rigging and piece-by-piece lowering over 3 days. The 52-inch diameter stump was ground to 14 inches below grade. City of Portland Type II permit was obtained in advance. Zero damage to the home or adjacent plantings.
