Santiam Tree Service delivers professional removal solutions you can rely on. From standard clearing to emergency hazard mitigation, we apply decades of field expertise to ensure every job in the Willamette Valley and Greater Portland area is completed safely and efficiently.
While trees add immense beauty and value to our homes, a dying or unstable tree can pose a significant safety risk to your property and family. Recognizing the early warning signs of decay or structural failure is crucial for preventing costly damage before the next big storm hits. Knowing what to look for can help you decide if it’s time to call a professional.
We evaluate the tree’s health, size, and proximity to your home and power lines.
Regulations vary significantly between the Portland Metro area and the Willamette Valley. We help you determine if a permit is required for your specific tree to ensure full compliance.
We secure the area to protect your family and property.
We chipper the brush, haul away the wood, and rake the yard.
Every tree is different. The cost depends on the tree’s height, diameter, location (accessibility), and hazard level. For example, a simple pine in an open field costs less than a large oak looming over a house in Portland. We provide free, no-obligation estimates so you know exactly what to expect before we start.
Standard removal includes taking the tree down to a low stump (close to the ground). Complete stump grinding is an optional add-on service. We can grind the stump 4-6 inches below grade, allowing you to replant grass or a garden over the area.
It depends on where you live. Portland and Lake Oswego have strict protections for trees over a certain size, while Salem and Albany often focus on "Heritage" or street trees. As part of our service, we can help you check your local city ordinances to determine if a permit is required.
Yes. Working near utility lines requires specialized training and extreme caution. If the tree is directly touching high-voltage transmission lines, the utility company may need to be involved first. For service drops (the line to your house) or close-proximity limbs, our licensed crew is equipped to handle the removal safely.
