I reached out to Samsara as a new homeowner in the area back in July. I had 3 very large (one…read moregiant) Doug Firs on my property which bordered 2 of my neighbors, and they needed to be pruned. I gathered 4 different quotes, and theirs was right in the middle. I felt really comfortable talking with Ben- a senior arborist and climber-about the job. This was probably the main reason I went with Samsara. On the day of the job 5 young gentlemen reported for duty. They spent from 0900 to about 1600 to prune the trees, There were 2 climbers. After I inspected- I felt there was a little more that could be done to the largest of the 3 Firs. I asked for Ben to come out to assess the job. He said they did great on the upper limbs but saw my concern for the lowers and agreed to come back. I also had him look at a Blue Spruce on the street side of my property that I discovered had some sort of root rot (continuous water engagement) and a pretty severe lean and he agreed it could be a concern. I received a second quote for this work and it was more than reasonable. They scheduled me within 2 weeks- which was today- and I was amazed at the quick work they made of these two elements of the job. Ben was the climber/detailer for the big Fir, and two other gentlemen made quick work of the Spruce removal. Very, very minimal disruptions for my neighbors on the roadway! Also, I have to say that the estimates they provided for both jobs were very detailed and included lot photos and tree site identification- by far the most professional of all the quotes I received. I'm very happy with the work they have done and will continue to use them as the need arises whether for planned (or unplanned) tree maintenance and emergencies. 100% recommend!

I really hate to leave a negative review, but there's no other option in this case. Travis was very…read moreresponsive at first, arranging for a delivery of a cord of wood at a fairly reasonable rate. When he arrived, though, he admitted that the load was significantly short of a cord and promised to deliver the balance soon. He seemed like a nice guy so I paid him for the entire cord. That was a few months ago, and despite many, many messages from me to him, and the occasional reply where he promised to deliver the balance soon, I have given up hope. The wood is decent quality, but it is exorbitantly priced because you pay for a full cord but only end up getting a fraction of it.

A few days after I had ordered and prepaid the entire amount, he did tell me that he was having problems and I wasn't going to get the wood right away. So, he did deliver and stack 1/4 cord late Saturday evening, February 1, 2025, so I was able to keep the house above 60 degrees during the February cold snap. Travis did tell me that he had other customers and that it would be after the beginning of March before he would be able to get the rest to me. However, he's been ghosting me since then. That is, I've texted and called and left messages for him, but I've heard nothing from Travis. Would I buy more firewood from him? Yes, it was good quality, clean and dry; but, but Travis would have to first make things right with our current deal.

After talking directly via phone to the city tree inspector that was here I was told that the…read moreprimary reason for the denial of the permit was expiration due to lack of timely feedback from Evergreen regarding questions that were asked of them. I do not know the questions they were waiting on but I was told that if I want the sidewalk fixed I need to tear out the sidewalk first and THEN ask for a root inspection to see if the offending roots can be cut out and if not then a tree removal permit can be filed again. On a separate note: I would advise anyone thinking of planting a street tree in Portland to reconsider due to the long term expense of dealing with the inevitable sidewalk damage and upkeep. That $75 per tree at the time from Friends of Trees has cost me thousands so far and will cost thousands more in concrete repair and is never ending. Once you plant one you can't remove it without replacing it and starting the cycle again.
