"Sid and his son did an excellent job of removing three large oak tree limbs that were towering over our home. The acorns and leaves falling were a mess to clean. They cleaned up after and cut the limbs up so our neighbor could use in his stove, Sid did extra trimming that saved us time and trouble and did not charge us more. Highly recommend Sid for any chore."
"Zack and his team did a Palm and Pine removal for me!! Was extremely pleased and impressed with their work. They were in and out without a sign of their presence! They worked safely near our roof and service drop and cleaned up the mess flawlessly! Would definitely hire again!"
"It went Exceptionally well...Jose listened carefully to what I asked him to do...when I asked him to remove additional branches he agreed and did not hesitate to cut additional branches ...he and his crew were quick and efficient in their work...furthermore they returned the following day to pick up and remove two additional branch piles we had accumulated ourselves ...Jose had a great attitude towards the job and exceeded our expectations...I would highly recommend him to anyone requiring tree service and will call him for any subsequent tree service...thank you from Don and Terry"
"I am very impressed with this company and crew. They were precise and professional in all of their work. My property was more beautiful when they left! Clean up was immaculate! The owner, Brett, even offered some great wildlife perch ideas. I highly recommend Southern Oregon Tree Service. Don’t wait call them today. You will be glad you did."
"Need a capable and friendly handyman? Albert is it. He installed my ceiling fan in no time flat. I will be using his services in the future. Thanks Albert!!"
"Stephen and his crew did a re-roofing project for me. Last fall I decided to have the original cedar shake roof removed (installed in 1999) and put on architectural shingles. Another roofing company bid and completed the easy part of the job last fall but then did not answer my calls, direct messages and Facebook messages when I tried to schedule completion of the rest of the roof. So, I contacted Stephen of Let's Build Oregon. Stephen was always very prompt to answer my phone calls and showed up that first day for the estimate. The job was completed to my satisfaction, on time and on budget. That last part is a big deal because the job that they completed was the hardest part of a roof (all the small regions with many cuts and lots of opportunity for water to leak). I would recommend Let's Build Oregon for your roofing needs. Thanks Stephen Mitson."
"Pedro phoned immediately after I inquired about my tree removal. When he came to give me a bid, he was right on time! (Two of the others I made appointments with didn't even bother to show up OR call). Both my neighbor and I needed our trees removed. He gave us a VERY REASONABLE bid and said he could do it 2 days later. We said we'd like to get other bids... he was the first one. Well, after getting all the bids we could, we decided on Mountain Tree Care. I phoned Pedro in the evening and told him of our decision. He said they'd be over at 7:30 am the next morning!!! He came with all the equipment necessary to do the job... 3 exceptionally skilled crew members, a chipper, a stump grinder, and a huge truck to haul away the debris. The next morning Pedro arrived at 7:05 am! A few minutes later, the rest of the crew arrived. They started right away. Safety and conscientiousness were high on their list. They removed one tree in my yard and another in my neighbor's. Each limb was roped before dropping it to the ground insuring that our properties were not damaged. And there was a fence between they had to work around as well. No damage whatsoever. They worked non-stop all day! The trees were removed and the stumps ground away. What we figured would take 2-3 days took them one day! The clean-up was exceptional! The next morning I went out to get the mail, and even the street where the chipper and truck were sitting were spotless. Did they sweep the street too??? Bottom line: WE RECOMMEND THEM HIGHLY! They are available, they are safe, they are conscientious, they are hard workers and they are FAIR and REASONABLE!"
Tree removal can be quite expensive, especially for larger projects, but you can use the following tips to help keep costs down:
Do the yard cleanup afterward yourself
Choose to leave the logs on your property and split them yourself
Opt to leave the stump in the ground and tackle stump grinding yourself
Pull permits for tree removal, if necessary, to avoid fines
Pay to have multiple trees removed at once
Remove tree in the late winter or early spring during off-season
If you’re wondering why tree trunks are painted white in your area, it’s usually to prevent sunscald, a condition where extreme shifts in temperature can cause tree bark to split. Fruit trees are especially vulnerable to sunscald, so this treatment is worth considering if it’s something that affects your trees.
Some people prefer to leave or even carve a leftover stump, but we recommend removing it if possible. You can often dig out smaller trunks with a shovel once they have died and dried out. You can have stumps professionally removed, or request a service to grind them down to ground level so they can be replaced with other landscaping or objects.
Before you cut down a dead palm tree, try to revive it using the methods listed above. However, there are instances when it makes sense to remove a dead palm tree, including:
The heavily infected tree will infect nearby trees, bushes, and plants.
The palm’s roots are overtaking your yard, foundation, and sidewalk and causing structural damage.
The tree is unstable and a hazard to your property, your neighbor’s property, and pedestrians.
The amount of time it takes for a tree trunk to rot depends on several factors, including the tree’s size, species, and environmental conditions. It can take anywhere from a few years to several decades for a tree’s trunk to rot. A tree stump, on the other hand, can take up to 10 years to disappear after it’s decayed naturally.
