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

Kinds of Tree Trimming & Care We Do in Portland

Before we begin a tree care and pruning job, you will be provided with a quote of what we think would be best for the health of your trees. That quote may include some of the following tree services:

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

CALL US

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

Standard Tree Removal

Our standard removal includes the felling of the tree, disposal of limbs, and cutting larger-diameter logs to 16″ lengths for firewood that by default is left on site. If you choose, we can remove the wood for an additional cost.

Down-Only Tree Removal

Down-only tree removal consists of safely taking a tree down either in one or multiple pieces, as the situation requires. There is no cleanup, firewood cutting, or limb removal provided.

Low-Impact Tree Removal

Low-impact tree removal is required when the setting has features that must be protected. In this process, trees are cut and lowered in manageable pieces to the ground in such a way as to ensure there is no damage to structures or landscaping.

Permits for Tree Removal in Portland

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

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 breaking

Trees which have already landed on a structure

Tops of trees which have broken off 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.
