Wow lee gave me a lot of free advice and i formation even though he didn't service my area. Pretty much unheard of these days. Definitely hire them if you're in the Portland area. read more

I can highly recommend Arbor Now [www.arbornow.com] after the two major jobs they have done for me, and both beyond expectations. Lee Catherman brings a wealth of expertise and a passion for the arborist arts, sharing his extensive knowledge and growing tips while getting done exactly what was needed. Most recently, a difficult removal of an unhealthy tall tree took him and his skilled crew just six hours from arrival to final clean up. It was a very reasonable charge considering the complexity of the site. His skills go beyond arbor work, to planning, advice on what, where, and how to plant, also general construction contracting work. read more

Quick to respond, they did a great job with our pear tree. It's the biggest yield we've gotten in all the years we've been here! Great people, good work. read more

These guys are the absolute best. They were in my neighborhood and happened to ask if i had anything that needed to be trimmed or cut down. I did in fact have a large brush pile and a dead tree that needed to come down. A few hrs later my brush pile is gone and the tree is down. On top of all of that he gave me tons of great advice on how and when to take care of the rest of the trees in my yard. I will definitely be using them for future jobs. read more

I honestly knew nothing about tree removal or trimming services but Lee came highly recommended from neighbors and I see why! Just a nice guy all around and very quick and efficient. We needed about 5 trees removed and a huge tree trimmed up. I was honestly expecting it to be a whole day project but Lee and his team were in and out within a couple of hours. Super affordable too! read more

Hired them to cut down a very large tree in my front yard. They were able to start work almost immediately and were very professional throughout the process. I highly recommend them for all tree related needs. I will definitely use them again. read more

Lee and his team are professional, knowledgeable, and efficient. They took down a 70 feet dying tree that is hazardous because it was leaning toward house and rotting in places, he always take safety as priority, and was able to finish the job in few hours. Thanks for making our yard safer! read more

Never disappointed with Lee and his team. Very prompt and quick to respond. I highly recommend them!

I think Lee is a competent and capable arborist. He removed and replaced a tree and advised on another tree issue. More recently I called with another request for tree work. Phone calls and texts were not returned. After several attempts I gave up. Reliability is important to me. Ignoring customers is unprofessional. read more

I had the most amazing experience with Lee and his team at Arbor Now! They removed some trees, trimmed my arborvitae and trees along the sidewalk, and trimmed all the bushes and plants in my yard. They also finished all the stump grinding so i will be able to plant new plants ASAP. The work took about a day and a half, they left my yard looking so clean, and they were so friendly! Definitely worth the money, and the price was very reasonable. I would recommend them to everyone and will definitely call again with future yard needs! read more

Said they would delivery wood chips the next day. They didn't show up answer texts or calls and don't let us know they weren't coming. The next day called and reached and then said if we still wanted them they could deliver a different type the next day. Again waited and they didn't show up, and again no calls or texts saying they weren't dropping them off. Made arrangements from another company to get wood chips as this was the second time there was a no show without any contact. Then 4 days later we woke up to a large pile of wood chips blocking our garbage cans, on top of our basketball ball hoop and blocking in our camper and half the driveway behind our car. Called them and his time they answered and said they wouldn't pick up the pile. It was pretty bad customer experience. All around. read more

I used Arbor Now to remove four trees and grind the stumps. They were very professional, I got a bid within a day, they cleaned up the mess, hauled away the trees.... they were amazing! I would definitely recommend this company if you need help with tree trimming, removal, stump grinding ect! Great to work with! read more

These guys are the best - no better for tree health and landscaping needs. They came in and took a needy huge maple in our front yard, holistically trimming it both for appearance and more importantly tree health. Top shelf customer service - they aim to please. Highly recommend them ! read more

Hired Lee to remove a large oak tree 10 feet from or house. The tree was 48" at the base. His crew did an excellent job removing the tree. Our yard was cleaner after he left than before he showed up. My neighbors informed me that his workers were very polite and respectful. He went the extra mile at every turn. We will definitely hire Lee for future tree projects. read more

See all

I recently gave Arbor Now a very unfavorable review. Since that time, Josh spoke with me, looked at the work that needed to be completed and within the week completed the job. His 2 man crew did a great job trimming back tree branches and hauling them away. Thank you Josh for your responsiveness and courtesy. read more

I've had Arbor Now do two jobs for me. Lee is an extremely knowledgeable arborist giving me confidence in what and how my trees and shrubs needed to be treated. He and his crews were friendly, efficient and professional; their rates are reasonable. Various neighbors complimented me on the finished work. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for an expert arborist. read more

Great group of guys. After taking bids from several companies to remove an old apple tree from my backyard, Lee took the extra time and effort to go over the details of what the job entails. The attention to detail and easy to follow explanations of the process made me feel confident that these guys would do it right. Only a couple days after the bid, the crew came ON TIME and immediately got to work. They are extremely professional and very courteous. They also offered tips and advice on money saving techniques for my future landscaping plans. Quit researching, just give these guys a call. read more

Lee and his crew were SO quick to respond when I needed my dead tree removed. He and his crew exceeded my expectations, and the price was extremely fair. I would absolutely use them again, and will recommended them to anyone who needs tree service! read more

I am a maintenance coordinator for a property management company in the Portland area. Lee and his guys have helped us through a few storms. They were professional with our tenants and the job was done in a quick and efficient manner. I can sleep better at night knowing that they are apart of our vendor list. THANKS LEE!!!! read more

Lee and his team removed four medium-sized trees (and ground out the stumps) on my property. Lee is very communicative, reasonable and conscientious about cost issues. It was a great experience all around. read more

Thorough and affordable professionalism with heart is how my family would describe Lee and his team. In April we had a significant wind storm take down our very healthy 100 plus year old Douglas fir in front of our home. The over 10 story tree blocked the front of house and took down the power line and cable. It also removed a significant amount of support for a 9 story tall Douglas fir next to it that then began to lean towards our house, making it unsafe for us to stay there. Due to the number of other trees down in the area and complexity of both the down tree and leaning tree, we had difficulty identifying companies that would return our calls. The lead times and pricing for the ones that did were very difficult to accept, with some seeming to be trying to take advantage of our situation. Arbor Now regularly services my neighbor's trees and they came to assist him with his windstorm damage. From the beginning, Lee discussed with us what could be involved with the work we needed to have done, with options on approaches and time to stagger the costs if needed. His pricing was more than reasonable and he was able to adjust his crews to assist us. He did not hesitate to answer any of our questions in detail when we requested it. He quickly understood our concerns and neither he nor any member of his crew were ever short or condescending with our inquiries. My "with heart" comment comes from his concern for my family. He was able to obtain another worker in order to take down the leaning tree so that my family could return home for the Easter holiday. It would have been understandable that they could only progress the work so far before the holiday weekend and return after the weekend. But instead they made every effort to make is so we were safe in our home that Friday evening, all with very affordable and upfront pricing. I joined Yelp so that I could provide this review, which is why it took me a few months. I fully recommend this company. Thank you again Lee, Mike and Nick. read more
