Rich’s Tree Service specializes in Portland tree removal service. Customers have trusted us since 1989 to remove any tree efficiently and safely, no matter the size and scope of the project.

Common Options for Portland Tree Removal Service

There are many reasons why it might be time to remove a tree from your property, such as

• Decay
• Rot or disease can weaken a tree to the point where removal is necessary to prevent failure.
• View obstruction
• While we prefer to trim rather than remove to promote a great view, unfortunately, there are times when removal is the only option.
• Roots that are damaging sidewalks or water lines
• Sometimes roots grow into and break sewer or water lines, or cause uplifting to portions of sidewalk. We are often called in when a sewer line scope or real estate inspection reveals this is the case, requiring the removal of the problematic tree(s) to prevent further damage
• To promote the growth of other plants or trees
• All plants need appropriate levels of light and space to grow well. When necessary, we remove trees to provide ideal conditions which allow for other plants and trees to thrive
• Getting too close to power or communication lines
• To prevent issues, especially during heavy weather, it is important to maintain proper clearance between trees and power/communication lines. It is also important to do this in a safe way to avoid damage or injury, which is where our trained tree service team comes in. Often trimming will solve the issue, but sometimes removal is required

While each of our customer’s circumstances is different, there are a few sets of options for tree removal that we commonly provide our Portland customers.

Standard Portland Tree Removal Service

Our standard removal includes bringing a tree to the ground, disposal of limbs, and cutting larger-diameter logs to 16″ lengths for firewood that will be left on site. If you choose, we can remove the wood for an additional cost or leave the larger diameter logs at longer lengths, which you can cut down to firewood size.

Down-Only Tree Removal

Down-only tree removal consists of safely taking the tree down either in one or multiple pieces. There is no cleanup, firewood cutting, or limb removal. This option is the least expensive and the perfect fit for the budget-conscious property owner who has the capacity to cut and clean up the mess on their own.

Low-Impact Tree Removal

Tree felling can be used when there is adequate free space, but low-impact tree removal is required when the setting has features that must be protected underneath the tree, such as manicured lawns, sidewalks, and valuable plants. In this process, tree parts are cut and lowered in manageable pieces to the ground in such a way as to ensure there is no damage.

Permits for Portland Tree Removal

Are you concerned about the process for tree removal permits? Unsure what permits or other authorization may be required? Permits are required for much of the work that we perform. We can obtain these permits or assist in the process as an additional service to our customers.

Portland Emergency Tree Removal from Rich’s Tree Service

Not all tree removals can be scheduled in advance. That’s why we offer our emergency tree removal service for Portland residents any time, any day of the year.

The Need for Emergency Tree Removal

When trees fall or begin to fail and are near to a structure, time is of the essence to preserve the safety of people and property. Some of the situations that commonly require our emergency services include

• Partially fallen trees
• Large branches showing evidence of failure
• Trees which have already landed on a structure
• Tops of trees which have failed and are suspended by other trees
• Lightning strikes
• Fallen trees which have blocked a needed path or driveway

The best way to deal with trees is to remove or trim them before they become an issue – but sometimes trees and the weather don’t cooperate with us as we hope, and that’s where our Portland emergency tree removal services come in.

What to do if You Have an Emergency Tree Removal Situation in Portland

• Ensure that people are out of harm’s way. If a tree or portion thereof has already caused damage to a structure where people are, move them as far away from the danger as possible.
• Call emergency services if anyone is injured.
• If safe to do so, take pictures of the damage for your home insurance company. You will want to do this after the tree is gone, as well.
• Contact your utility companies if you have lost service.
• Call Rich’s Tree Service. We will dispatch an emergency tree removal crew as quickly as possible. When we arrive, we will assess the situation with you and get to work, helping to secure your property from further damage.

Portland Fallen Tree Removal

One of the great things about living in the Northwest is the abundance of trees. One of the downsides is that trees or limbs can fall unexpectedly and overwhelm your ability to deal with them. If a tree or branch has fallen and poses no immediate risk to your property or loved ones, we are glad to help you remove it.

Rich’s Tree Service Identifies and Removes Hazardous Trees

Identifying At-Risk Trees

How do you tell if a tree is going to be a problem in the next windstorm or freezing rain? A tree that’s dead can be easy to spot, but some trees that pose a risk may still look as though they are doing just fine. The certified arborists at Rich’s Tree Service can identify trees that are

• Dying
• Rotting
• Diseased
• Being choked out by other plants
• Failing due to problems in their root systems

By catching a tree before it dies entirely or falls, we may even be able to save a portion of it. Check out our tree trimming service page for more information.

Removing Hazardous Trees Before They Become an Emergency

We hope to be able to help as many of our neighbors as possible identify and remove risky trees before things get to the point of being dangerous. If you have any doubt about a tree on your property, give us a call so we can inspect it and – at very least – provide you with increased peace of mind when the next storm rolls through.
