Tree cutting and removal make it safe to take down unwanted, dead, or risky trees. In Portland, we handle City of Portland tree code issues, violations, and any needed permits (including Title 11 and street-tree permits) before work begins. Our crew follows safe chainsaw practices with accurate felling cuts, first cuts, and second cuts as needed. If a tree threatens buildings, blocks a project, or creates a hazard, we remove it quickly and carefully.

We consider removal cost, equipment access, and any special rules for Portland street trees or trees on private property.

We support Portland’s urban forestry goals and the tree care community. We answer questions about planting and care, and we guide you through the local tree code so you stay compliant. Our safety standards include strict protocols and detailed tree risk assessments to catch issues in the trunk, canopy, and overall structure.
