Very happy with the service we got. Only needed to have a branch removed because of what appeared to be tree rot and we were afraid branch could fall into street or cars. Got quick estimate and they came out the next day when we said yes. Quick job and easy to work with. read more

I use Oregon Tree Care for all my tree health related needs. All arborists are well trained in tree health and tree trimming techniques. I have learned alot from them during their visits to my property and use the knowledge for the self care that I am able to do myself. I highly recommend them. read more

I highly recommend this group of arborists and climbers. I know my neighbor appreciated that they didnt have any tree debris in their yard during the work. They trimmed our douglas fir tree in the narrow backyard with our fence line close to the trunk. I was amazed how carefully they remove dead limbs and how efficiently they remove the debris. Everyone was very helpful and were nice to answer questions I had. Very much appreciate the service. read more

Oregon Tree Care - Great work arborists! - Tree Services Near Me - Portland, Oregon

This is the third time we've asked Oregon Tree Care to support the health of our trees. The professional arborist came out to listen to my concerns; look at the trees; and give his advice. They always surprise me at the depth of their knowledge, and "tree wisdom." This time, trim and balance the little maple near the house; and the bit one at the curb that the County whacked off limbs overhanging the street. It needed reducing on the house side, and removal of dead limbs. Plus remove a filbert that was a "volunteer" in my neighbor's yard, that was brushing out house. (neighbor had given permission) As usual with this company: care for the heath of the trees; competent work; everything chipped and taken away; and I don't know how they cleaned up the sawdust, too! And I was surprised at the lower-than-expected cost. I'll keep calling them. read more

Tried these guys out, as I was dissatisfied with the previous business I used to trim my hedge. OTC did the job, but i noticed the hedge bulged and was not cut in straight line. It had been a long time since I had the hedge trimmed and squared in that manner, and the hedge had become much fuller since then. I called to ask about his, not sure even if the job was done incorrectly and was calling to ask if it should have been cut in a straight line. I tried to be personable and non-accusatory, because like I said, I didn't even know if what I was noticing was a poor job or just the limit with what they could do with my hedge. What I got back was the guy talking to me like he wanted a confrontation and he ended up calling me a liar ("disingenuous" was the word he used.) I don't know who the guy was, but I can say that I will never use this business again and tell anyone else, caveat emptor with OTC This is the response I got in return from this review: Damien C. Business Owner Aug 5, 2025 Paul, we wish this could have been resolved in a private setting, but alas here we are. One week after your service, you sent an aggressively worded text indicating that you were displeased with the work completed on your hedge. That same day we reached out via phone in an effort at conflict resolution and to find out more about what objectives were missed on your project. We had already instructed a crew to reroute to your property at the end of their day to take more off of the hedge and ensure your satisfaction with the quality of our work. On the phone, it became clear you were not interested in a good faith discussion and instead your main objective was to berate and belittle our staff, company and myself. At no point were you non-accusatory or personable, instead speaking with a tone more aptly fit for misbehaving children. Your incessant line of questioning, "Does trimming the hedge in a straight line not come with the cost of the job?" "Do you normally charge individuals for work not completed?" "Have you trained your crews to prune hedges on a slant?" was disingenuous. You were never accused of lying. Our sole intent was to remedy the unfortunate situation. When we tried to focus on conflict resolution and mutual respect, you became irate and shouted "I'll just find someone else to do it!" and hung up the phone. At this point, we instructed our crew that was en route to stand down and not return to your property. As you volunteered in your review, we are not the first company you have had problems with. We stand committed to providing the highest quality tree care in the Portland area with a strong dedication to customer service and treating our clients with respect. If you are a prospective client that has come across this regrettable back-and-forth, we ask that you judge our potential off our 20 year history in business and the numerous other reviews we have received, including a 4.9 rating on Google. And this is my response: As defined by dictionary.net the definition of disingenuous is: Not noble; unbecoming true honor or dignity; mean; unworthy; fake or deceptive. So I let the reader decide whether calling someone disingenuous is tantamount to calling them a liar. As I included the picture of the hedge as well as the text I sent, this too I leave to the reader to decide whether it fits Damien's description of "aggressively worded text." I stand by my account and say that the whole of what is represented by Damien is untrue. The last words he heard from me was "Thanks, but no thanks, I'll find someone else to do the work." Because really, after spending $500 to get a hedge trimmed, which by his reaction, was not done correctly, and then being called a liar on top of this, who needs this headache. read more

I hated to take down a wonderful mountain ash in our yard, but the invasive borer beetle made me do it. From initial quote to removal of the tree to grinding of the stump, Oregon Tree Care was effective, timely, and efficient. OTC's Derek Brown and team have the whole process dialed in. Their price was reasonable. They quickly and completely answered my emailed questions about their process and what I could expect. If you want the stump removed, OTC works with a sister company, Oregon Stump Grinding, You pay each separately, and this is clearly stated in the contract you sign with OTC. Great experience with both companies! read more

We've been working with Oregon Tree Care for the past four years, and they've been absolutely exceptional. Their team has been instrumental in keeping our mature ash tree healthy, especially as we prepare for the looming threat of the emerald ash borer. They've also done everything possible to support the health of our maple tree, which was planted before we moved in and isn't ideal for its location. Thanks to their expert guidance, even our newer crepe myrtle is thriving. What really sets Oregon Tree Care apart is their dedication to the long-term health of the urban canopy. Every time they visit, they share helpful care tips and treat our trees--and our neighborhood--with genuine care and respect. We've recommended them to our neighbors and wouldn't hesitate to do so again. We couldn't recommend Oregon Tree Care more highly! read more

One of this company's trucks traveling on I-205 north here in Portland at 70 to 75 miles an hour in a 55 mph Zone pulling a trailer. Very unprofessional. I called the number to just let them know that maybe they could slow down their driver a little bit out of safety, I got the runaround, and they didn't seem to care one bit, if they're going to be that unprofessional about one of their drivers driving Dangerously, then I surely wouldn't use them. read more

My street trees were just out of control, and I needed to get something done about them. Oregon Tree Care was the team I contracted with. Professional, quick, and friendly. My tree's look great! Thanks gals/guys!! I will be calling you back next year. read more

Would not recommend. The original person who came out for the estimate was great and said he would be the one servicing my trees. Turns out, he was not part of the crew who cut my five trees. The crew rushed through my job and didn't finish until it was dark so I did not get a walk-through to inspect their work. They left debris all over my yard and vehicle parts and other debris in the street. When I asked if they were going to clean it up, they returned and spent less than five minutes cleaning up and threw my lawn tools on the side of my house. The owner called three weeks ago after I said I was disappointed and said he would be out to do a walk-through and clean up some of the debris the crew left. I never heard back from him. When looking at my trees today, they cut way too many branches and now I'm worried about the health of my trees. Very disappointing experience. read more

Fast, courteous and personable - they worked well with us on preserving a nature friendly yard while also protecting our home/property. Will definitely us them again in the future! read more

We had some trees that needed some TLC from an arborist. Michele who is their office manager was quick to respond, professional and easy to work with. The arborist who arrived onsite, (Damien I believe) to do the assessment was on time and easy to communicate with. Ashley and team came out a couple weeks later and did a great job. They were on time, cleaned up the whole area including some areas I did not expect them to and I would definitely recommend them to take care of your trees. Would 100% work with them again. read more

Gave us a fantastic estimate and did a great job. Friendly, actually came early, did clean up. Very very happy with them.

Very satisfied with the work they did clearing trees around the house. The crew was hard working and they did an excellent cleanup after. Great communications and a very good price. Will use them again and would recommend to others read more

Outstanding crew. Professional, polite and know what they're doing. Highly recommended. read more

Damien, the proprietor of Oregon Tree Care, was friendly, knowledgeable and approachable upon meeting him for a free quote to trim our 7 trees. He left us feeling confident in our choice to use his company for our tree trim work. The crew of certified arborists, with Derrick leading, were all very nice and respectful of our landscaping while doing the required work. They trimmed our trees artfully and with great care. We will use them again for all our tree maintenance going forward. read more

Outstanding work, pleasant to work with, and worked well with my timeline. I really appreciated their offer to still do in-person appraisals. I appreciated being able to talk through several things I had going on with Damien. Everyone is super nice and easy to talk to, which goes a very very long way. I had one major tree that they trimmed and cabled, and they took care of several other small "odd jobs" around my lot at my request. Very cool, would absolutely use them again! read more

Reached out to them after the spring snow storm downed part of our apple tree. They were prompt to reply and provide an estimate, and were taking care of the tree in two days. Everyone was professional and knowledgeable of their work. We had them come back for further maintenance on the tree and will continue to work with them. read more

We had a great experience with Oregon Tree Care. Their prices were competitive . However, it was their response time, attention to our project and especially their professional, courteous staff that will have reaching out to OTC for our next project. A special shoutout to Michele and Derek! read more

Several years ago Oregon Tree Care helped me with some trees and so I was glad to call them again recently. The professional service I experienced years ago was, if possible, even more impressive this time. They arrived promptly, talked through their steps with me both before and after the trimming process, and cleaned up all the debris. The workers were polite and friendly and gave me some good advice for the future care of my trees. read more

25+ years of experience showed when Damien and his crew removed dozens of severely overgrown Arborvitae on our newly purchased property. The team moved like a well-oiled machine; they were safe, efficient, courteous, and even reassuring to my anxiety about having the trees removed. I had multiple bids on this (very difficult) job and I'm glad I went with Oregon Tree Care, they used a combination of ropes, pulley systems, and even climbing to strategically bring each tree down safely - for the amount of work the team put in the price was fair, they even were able to fit us in early due to an opening in their schedule, and they completed the job in one day! I would absolutely recommend and hire them again in the future. Bravo team, thank you! read more

Now I can write an honest review without fear of repercussions. My neighbor was going to use Damien's services to trim a white pine on my property. It was in December. I was concerned about it being too cold to trim much off of the tree so I called OTC and left a message with my concerns. I never heard back. So I left a review on Yelp about their company. Well, of course I immediately heard back from Damien after my review posted. He was angry and his tone was making me uncomfortable. Since he knew who I was and where I lived, I deleted the review. I was uncomfortable with the whole incident. Now that I have moved out of state I am comfortable leaving this review. Update: After reading the comment from the company I will say this was a truthful review of MY experience with this company, mine only. Not a fake review or a "troll" as was the "professional" response from the business. Check my other reviews, 16 positive, 20 negative, not too much of a difference in my other reviews. Big P.S. If you check the reviews not currently recommended, you will see that Damien tried to leave a 5 star review for his OWN company but it was deleted for violating the terms of the Yelp site! read more

I had them out to do some trimming around power lines and all my fruit trees. They talked me through the options and made helpful recommendations. Super happy and will definitely hire again! read more

Super happy we picked the crew at Oregon Tree Care! Hired them to remove a large, dead cherry street tree and prune a couple others that I couldn't reach. Extremely competitive price, great communication from first contact through the end of the job, and they crushed the job. Even got some free orchard pruning tips from Jess for our figs. Strongly recommend! read more

Could not have had a better team of tree professionals help us with our massively overgrown tree issues. Jess and her team worked their butts off all morning and transformed our severely overgrown back yard try and hedge situation. read more

Oregon Tree Care was easy to communicate with before the service. They got to our home on time, checked with us to make sure they understood what we wanted, advised us about how they wanted to proceed, and did the work. The trimmed trees look very "natural," not like they are just hacked off. They cleaned all the tree trimmings up so it looked great. Very professional service. We'll use them again. read more

Excellent team and business that truly cares about the trees across the greater Portland area and beyond. read more

I love this company! Our yard looks amazing now! We just moved into our new home a few weeks ago and the trees definitely needed some overdue TLC. My husband reached out to Damien, based on a referral by our landscaper and we received a response right away. We scheduled our initial walk-through and Damien was on time and super easy to talk to. Their pricing came in lower than a big name in town and they were available two weeks earlier than the other company we priced out. On site, they had the whole front yard coned off and "slow down" safety sandwich boards on the street. There was a team of four, with Jess running the group. They were all friendly, professional and efficient. I really appreciate how nice they were to each other too - you could tell they work well as a team and put safety first. At the end of each day (we had them for two days), they chipped all of the pruned branches and limbs, used a leaf blower to remove all the little leaves and twigs that fell, and left the yard as they found it. It's like they were never there, except our trees look so much happier and healthier! Also worth mentioning, it was pouring on and off for the two days they were here, and they just powered through it. I'm super impressed and will definitely use them again. read more

We lost part of a tree in the spring snowstorm. We were really hopeful the tree could be saved, as we have 2 in the parking strip. OTC's arborist came to evaluate it and felt the the tree could indeed be saved, with some trimming to protect it for the future. They trimmed both Hornbeams for what we thought was a reasonable amount. We were very pleased with their professionalism and will definitely use them in the future! read more

My review is written based off an experience about a year ago at this point. I called about an apple tree in my backyard, 1 trunk fell down and the top half was in my neighbor's lawn. First off, he told us he was going to be here by 1pm for the estimate and he ended up showing up late. Next he gave us 2 quotes, one smaller quote ($150) to take a part a fallen piece of a tree and then quoted us $400 to prune the rest of my tree. He was great other than showing up late. At that point, no biggie. We told him we needed to think about it. He told us to give him a call before 8pm that night and if we did, he would be back out tomorrow to take care of everything. We called him back at 6:30pm, he didn't pick up, fine no big deal. He calls back almost an hour later. We tell him that we shopped around a bit and another place said they would charge us $250 for the pruning job but we were OK with the $150 for the fallen tree. He goes "how about $275?". Seemed reasonable. We told him let's hold off on the full job but if he could do the more immediate piece (take care of the fallen tree trunk) we can make arrangements for the $275 later. He said "OK, since it's late now I have no idea what is on my schedule tomorrow, let me call Tracy (I guess his assistant) in the morning and call you tomorrow at 9". It sounded reasonable. The next day, 9 rolls around, no call. We called him at 10am and leave him a message. By 8pm that night, still no calls back from Damien. He totally blew us off. How can you do that to a customer!? If you're not going to take the job don't commit to anything. read more

These guys are great, on time and reliable. This was my 2nd time using them for trimming trees that were growing too close to my house.

I wish I had checked the reviews before I hired this business. I'm c/p in a letter that I just sent to them. Clearly shows our experience with them... Damien and Oregon Tree Care: Recently you came and pruned the trees on our property. We did our research and although you were not the cheapest bid we received, we felt comfortable that the health of the trees were your main concern. You were fairly attentive, scheduling our trim soon after we hired you. We went so far as to recommend you to someone in our neighborhood and write a good review on ____. Then we noticed there was a very large dead limb and many, many smaller dead limbs on our 100 year old oak tree. We've called 4-5 times and although we are promised a return call, that has not happened yet. It's frustrating, as customers, to be treated one way before you get our money and then another way after you received it. We still have dead limbs and we are worried about the safety of ourselves, our property and pets, and any guests we might have visiting. So now we can continue to contact you (although that doesn't seem to do any good) or find someone else to come and finish your job (either the limbs were missed or that weren't apparent during the tree's dormant phase). I'm writing this letter to express my frustration, to inform you that I will be amending my positive review on ____ and that we will no longer refer anyone to your company and will in fact go back to the people we've already recommended you to and let them know about our full, disappointing experience. I'm sure you've heard the saying that it takes far less effort and money on your part to keep an existing customer than it does to attract a new customer. We have 5 large trees on our property, one giant, and 4 small trees--we could have potentially been a customer that would have used your services many times. read more

Unfortunately I have not had good luck with Oregon Tree Care. I rent a house and there's a huge Oak tree on the property. The owner of the house and I agreed to have the tree trimmed. I called Oregon Tree Care and scheduled the work to be done. I was very clear about being the renter, and explained that the home owner would be mailing payment. They understood and everything was all set. The two-man team showed up an hour late, and said they had just come from another big job. They were tired, hungry, and clearly in need of a break. After a short break they set to work on the big Oak tree. An hour or so later they told me it was done, and when I looked at it I couldn't tell anything had been trimmed at all. He explained that the tree was not in great health and so he didn't want to trim it back too much and traumatize it. He recommended I have a professional come out and treat the tree, and said he'd send me the name of a pro who was the best, but he never did. I couldn't help but feel like these guys just didn't want to do the work, and used my ignorance about tree health as an excuse to not trim the tree completely. The home owner paid for the tree work the same day the work occurred. However, Oregon Tree Care's accounting department continued to send me emails regarding payment for the next several weeks. I finally had to call and explain that I was the renter, not the home owner, and payment had already been provided by the home owner. A few months later I needed to have a tree removed from another property I own. I called Oregon Tree Care to get an estimate. I talked to a woman who said that I would get a call back within 48 hours to schedule a time for someone to come out to give an estimate. Really? 48 hours to get a call to schedule an estimate? And I never got a call back. read more

I loved that they listened to my wishes and carried them out thoughtfully. My previously overgrown privet, rhodos, and grapevine are now looking beautiful. Plus, before they left they cleaned up all the areas they had worked in. I highly recommend! read more

This is the second time we've used Oregon Tree Care to look after our Japanese Maples which had been pruned incorrectly in the past. The crew came in and did a great job of pruning again without jeopardizing the health of the trees and also worked on trimming of a huge Pin Oak that had a lot of deadwood at the lower branches. They were prompt, considerate and efficient. I would not hesitate to recommend them again. read more

Called for them to come out to take down a damaged Crab Apple tree on a commercial property. While this was the only tree we were currently having addressed, there are several others that we are planning to have removed before Fall. The crew showed up as they were supposed to, and the area had been prepared for them to work in, but that is where things went downhill. The tech was rude and arrogant to the property manager. It was completely uncalled for and unprofessional, and considering this is a public area and a rental property where residents can see as well as hear things going on, unable to be tolerated. They were hired to perform a service which they did in an adequate manner, but after the behavior of the lead tech, we no longer will be calling them for any of our needs. read more

Overpriced and over inflated egos.- I should have seen the rest of these reviews before having them come out. And in looking at the poor reviews, I wouldn't trust that one 5 star rating - I call BS on that one. In talking to Damien about the obvious lack of work for the price, he starts in over defensively that they're 'professionals' over and over again... I get it - you saying you're a professional. That doesn't mean you don't overcharge people. Stay away from this place. read more

This is based on having these guys take care of a rental for us, we are a 1000 miles away and have had nothing but great service. Damian is always available, answers questions and is really fair in his prices. No idea why the rating here is what it is. I originally found him because of the great ratings on other sites so was really surprised after using these folks to see this here. Give them a try, from my experience you will be really happy. read more

Oregon Tree Care has been excellent. They did a superb job trimming my walnut tree and helped me come up with a creative solution for dealing with an unfortunately placed stump. They have been both professional and friendly in every interaction and competitively priced. I would not hesitate to recommend Oregon Tree Care to friends and family. read more

I have used Oregon Tree Care several times and am very impressed with their work. They are spot on with their estimates and leave no mess when the job is completed. I also really appreciate the fact that Damien is a tree guy and appreciates the beauty that our trees add to this planet. He strives to save them, not just chop them down! read more
