"Pacific Northwest Arborists was great to work with. Keith helped me realize that my browning cherry tree was not in great shape so I ended up having them remove it. They also pruned my apple tree which looks better than it has in years. The crew was great to work with - especially considering the 90 degree heat. I would definitely hire them again."

"My experience with Green Sky Tree Services was excellent from start to finish. When I contacted them to get an initial bid, the receptionist took my info and said she would get back to me soon. I was expecting that to mean a couple days, but she called back within 15 minutes. The arborist, Juan, came out and looked at what I needed done, answered all my questions, and emailed me a bid the very next day. They were booked out about a month at the time, but he was able to fit me in within a couple weeks since it wasn't a large job. He and his crew showed up promptly the day of the job and did a meticulous job trimming one of my maple trees as well as an oak tree. He let me know when he was finished so I could take a look and make sure it was to my satisfaction. The cleanup by Juan and his crew was impeccable. They even went as far as taking care to cut up the large branches with hand saws instead of power saws as to be respectful of my neighbors since they came out early on a Saturday morning. I will definitely be contacting them for any future tree trimming needs."

"We purchased a home in 2011 in southwest Portland that sits on nearly an acre of land. When we moved in we thought how nice that the house was surrounded by woods (privacy and nature galore). We have since realized that this 'natural retreat' caused two primary problems: not enough land for the kids and adults to play even though we had an acre footprint, claustophia as the brush and ivy and blackberry bushes slowly closed in around us. I love the house and the land, but don't be fooled, maintaining an aestheticly pleasing landscape when your house is 'in the woods' is a tremendous challenge. What at one point can seem like a intentional, mature, focused landscape can quickly transform into an  overgrown mess. We contacted Douglas and Ramos Cleanup to intitially clear one of the  side yards and lay barkdust. Douglas made an immediate effort to come to the property and promptly provided a bid. The bid was reasonable and lower than one other company I contacted. My wife and I decided to hire Ramos. Perhaps the best decision we have made since moving  into the house two years ago.
These guys are unbelievable. They came on a Saturday exactly at the time they said. By the time they had finished, my wife and I had decided to hire Ramos to perform a much more comprehensive clearing project. The idea was create a clean and groomed mature landscape all the way around the house that would act as a buffer to the forest that remained at the perimeter of the property. They came back the next two days (working 10 hours on Sunday) with a team of 6 or 7 and literally transformed the property. When they finished, my wife and I simply walked around the land dumfounded. They not only cleared trees, massive stumps that had been swallowed by ivy, blackberry bushes, years of overgrowth; they also new exactly what to perserve. They trimmed the shrubs and trees meticulously, uncovered plants we never even new were there, and made everything look spotless. My wife immediately commented how relaxed the place now made her feel. Bingo. They gave a bid at the beginning of the project and stuck to it even though they uncovered (literally) challenges (huge old growth stumps) along the way. I don't even know how many dead and dying  trees they removed, but it was a ton. They even cleared a larger area in the front of the house because they knew that was what was needed to make it all come together. I can't say enough good things about this company. Hire them without concern (and I rarely have ever said that about any company). They are the only people I will use for now on. They are professional, courteous, efficient, and knowledgable. They busted they tails to transform our property. 10 out of 10.

"I hired Jose to remove "volunteer" bushes growing in my juniper along my embankment slope. I originally met with him to remove a tall leaning pine tree. He spoke openly and honestly about the trees on my property and professionally advised NOT to remove the leaning tall pine tree. He backed up his advice with his very logical and sensible scientific horticultural research and experience. He explained that, even though he is losing the money he could make if he just removed the tree, he honesty did not believe there was a need to do so. He noted that the tree is healthy and is part of a root system that has joined other trees in my yard to keep the embankments from sliding downhill. He also pointed out that the upper part that is leaning is only doing so to reach the sunlight, is very strong and would not, in all probability fall during a winter storm. JV has such excellent knowledge that I trusted his wisdom and experience. Instead of tree removal he removed unwanted bushes."

"My experience with Scott was awesome, he was easy to communicate with and got back to me quickly. He helped me come up with solutions to a few of the lingering unfinished projects I had around my house I just needed help with. Scott just made everything easy and was very conscientious about cleaning up my space before he left. I will definitely hire this handyman again."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Generally, avoid trimming trees in the summer (with the exception of pruning fruit trees as needed). Trees use a lot of energy in the summer, most of which is relegated to new growth. If you chop it too early, you could stunt the next season's growth. Again, when in doubt, do some research based on the specific tree type.

Although it’s possible, heavy machinery like a crane is necessary for removing an entire tree stump and all. This procedure is extremely costly, time-consuming, and usually unnecessary, as there are plenty of convenient and affordable stump removal options. 

Your best bet, if you want to be sure to remove a tree and its stump efficiently, is to speak with a professional. They’ll be able to walk you through the entire process.

Rock salt or Epsom salt can damage and kill tree roots over several weeks and can even assist in removing the tree's stump. However, you need to drill holes or cut into the stump and surface tree roots to inject them properly with the salt. Repeat the process every two weeks until the roots visibly rot away.

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.

Trees don’t usually grow back after being cut down. Some particularly robust tree species may start sending up new stems from a stump to recover, but those stems won’t become a “tree” like before. Generally, trees don’t recover from being entirely cut down, which is why it’s important to be careful when making a decision. When you cut down a tree, it’s a good idea to make plans to remove the stump, even if it’s unlikely to grow back.
