Tree removal costs vary significantly based on tree size, location, access challenges, and disposal requirements. Small trees under 30 feet typically cost $400-800, medium trees 30-60 feet range $800-2,000, and large trees over 60 feet start at $2,000 with complex removals exceeding $5,000. Factors affecting pricing include proximity to structures, power line involvement, stump grinding, permit requirements, and emergency scheduling. We provide free written estimates after on-site assessment with transparent itemization.
Yes, Heritage Tree permit navigation is one of our specialties. We've successfully processed hundreds of Oregon City Heritage Tree applications, understanding exactly what documentation city planning requires and how to present applications for approval. We assess whether trees meet Heritage designation criteria, prepare complete applications with required measurements and justification, coordinate with city staff, and handle all communication throughout the approval process. Our permit expertise saves time and ensures compliance.
Our primary service area includes Oregon City and surrounding Clackamas County communities including West Linn, Gladstone, Milwaukie, Lake Oswego, and Clackamas. We also serve portions of southern Portland metro. Our Oregon City headquarters allows rapid response throughout the region while maintaining deep knowledge of local climate conditions, tree species, and municipal regulations specific to each community we serve.
Winter dormancy—late December through February—provides optimal timing for most tree pruning in Oregon City. Disease spread is minimal during dormancy, wounds close quickly when growth resumes, and structural problems are visible without foliage. Avoid spring pruning when diseases spread rapidly through fresh cuts. Dead wood removal, emergency work, and hazard mitigation can occur year-round. Tree planting succeeds best in fall (October-November) when roots establish through Oregon City's wet, mild winters.
