Let's keep your trees standing for the next hundred years.

What's going on with your tree?

Pick whatever's closest — I'll tell you, plainly, what it usually means.

Here's the work, in plain terms.

Pruning & shaping

Taking out the dead and weak wood and giving the canopy good structure — so the tree is safer, healthier, and looks like it belongs. Done to the ANSI A300 standard, which mostly means I won't butcher it.

Keeping trees healthy

Figuring out what's stressing a tree — bugs, disease, bad soil — and treating the cause. Deep-root feeding, pest management, the unglamorous stuff that keeps a big tree around another fifty years.

Cables & braces

Steel and synthetic supports for a tree with a split-prone fork or a heavy limb over the house. It's how we save the trees most companies would just cut down.

Risk checks

A proper, written assessment when you need one — for peace of mind, an insurer, or the city. I'm TRAQ-qualified, so it holds up.

Removals & big rigging

When a tree truly has to go, we take it down safely — rope and rigging, a crane if the site's tight — and haul every bit of it away. Your yard ends up cleaner than we found it.

Storm response

A 24/7 line for my clients. Limb down, tree on the fence, power line risk — I'll get out and make it safe.

A few things I'll always do.

• ✓A certified arborist — me — does the walk-through. Not a salesman.
• ✓I'd rather save your tree than fell it, and I'll tell you when removal really is the right call.
• ✓The same crew that quotes the job does the job, start to finish.
• ✓We leave your yard cleaner than we found it. Every time.
• ✓If I can't help, I'll tell you who can.

A few trees we kept standing.

The fir they'd written off

A 120-year Douglas fir behind a Dunthorpe home had a crack in the main union. Two companies said take it down. We cabled three leaders and treated the root flare instead. Five years on, it's still the best tree on the street.

An oak that needed a haircut, not a chainsaw

A heritage white oak in West Linn was dropping limbs onto the driveway. The owners feared the worst. It just needed deadwood out and a careful reduction over the house. One afternoon, problem solved.

A clean removal, done right

Sometimes a tree really is done. This dying maple in Riverdale was leaning over the neighbor's roof. We rigged it down piece by piece in a morning, ground the stump, and you'd never know it was there.

Where I work.

I keep the radius small so I can be there fast when a tree can't wait. If you're near Lake Oswego, there's a good chance you're on my map.

Questions people actually ask me.

Will you try to talk me into removing a tree?

No. I make my living keeping trees healthy, not cutting them down. If a tree can be saved safely, I'll tell you how. If it genuinely needs to go, I'll tell you that too — and why.

What's it going to cost?

Depends on the tree, the access, and what it needs — I can't honestly quote it from a phone call. The walk-through and the estimate are free, and there's no obligation.

How soon can you come out?

Usually within a few days for an estimate. If it's a storm or a hazard, call the line and I'll prioritize it — that's what the 24/7 number is for.

Do you actually do the work, or subcontract it?

My crew does it. I'm on site. There's no handoff to a subcontractor you've never met.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes — registered Oregon contractor (CCB on file), full general liability and workers' comp. I'll show you the certificate before a saw comes off the truck.

Do you clean up?

Completely. Chips hauled, wood cut to your liking or taken away, lawn raked. You'll have to look hard to tell we were there.
