Portland's heritage trees require specialized care - from massive sequoias in the West Hills to flowering cherries in the Pearl District. Our ISA-certified arborists perform crown thinning to reduce wind resistance during winter storms and root collar excavations to prevent rot in our damp climate.
We use climbing techniques instead of bucket trucks when working around delicate historic homes. All pruning follows Portland's urban forestry guidelines and avoids topping practices that create hazardous regrowth. For hazardous trees, we coordinate removal permits with the city's Urban Forestry department.
