Care for the trees that shade your street.
Pruning, removal, stump grinding, and storm response across Portland, from arborists who read the whole tree before the first cut.
Book an assessmentWhat a certified arborist checks
Five signs we grade on every tree before we recommend a single cut. You get the findings in writing.
- Canopy thinning Sparse leaves, dieback at the branch tips, more sky through the crown than last year.
- Deadwood Dead or hanging limbs over roofs, drives, and walkways.
- Root flare Buried or girdling roots choking the base, soil piled against the trunk.
- Lean and load New lean, soil heaving on one side, or a heavy limb over a target.
- Pests and disease Beetle galleries, bleeding cankers, fungal brackets at the base.
Five trades, one crew
Ask for one line or bundle several on one crew day. Every job ends with the wood chipped and the yard raked.
Pruning
Cuts placed where the tree seals, to ANSI A300 standard. No topping, no spikes on a living tree.
- Crown thinning and raising
- Deadwood and clearance over roofs
Tree removal
Rigged down in sections over houses, fences, and power drops, with a climber and ground crew on every job.
- Hazard and storm-leaner removal
- Crane-assisted work for tight lots
Stump grinding
Ground 6 to 18 inches below grade, chips raked back, soil left ready for sod or replanting.
Health assessments
Written reports from an ISA-certified arborist, with a plan to save the tree where we can.
Storm response
On site within 4 hours. Limbs off the roof first, then drives and access, photographed for your claim.

When to prune what in Oregon
Season sets the cut. Here is how we schedule the common Portland species.
Structural cuts on oaks and maples while dormant. The right window for the big work.
Shape lilac and dogwood right after they flower. Hold off on birch and elm to avoid bleeding.
Light thinning for airflow. Prune cherry and plum now to dodge silver leaf and canker.
Deadwood and storm-prep only. Save heavy cuts for winter dormancy.

Word around Portland
A bigleaf maple limb cracked over our roof in the January ice storm. Their crew had it roped down by 8am and the gutter never moved.
Rachel M.Laurelhurst, Portland
Two bids said remove the oak. Canopy's arborist cabled it and put the reasoning in writing. Two winters on, the tree is holding.
Devon P.Beaverton, OR
Quote said $2,400, invoice said $2,400. Four-person crew, done by 1pm, yard raked. That is the review.
