We started with one climber and a pickup in Southeast Portland. Seventeen years later we run our own cranes and chippers — and the owner still walks every big removal before it starts.

Most removals we do started as a small problem somebody meant to look at. Care-plan members get an arborist's eyes on their trees every year — and front-of-line treatment when a storm hits.
"A fir split in the ice storm and landed across our driveway at midnight. Fernwood answered on the second ring and had it off the cars by sunrise. Unreal."
"Two companies told me my oak had to come down. Fernwood's arborist cabled it instead, for a third of the removal quotes. That honesty earned a customer for life."
"Watched the climber lower every single piece by rope over our greenhouse. Not one pane cracked, and the yard was spotless when they left."
"The written estimate matched the final bill to the dollar. They even cut the trunk into firewood rounds and stacked them by the shed without being asked."
"Our maples hadn't been touched in twenty years. After their pruning the whole front yard gets light again — and the trees look healthier, not hacked."
"Booked the free health check online at 10 PM, arborist was out two days later, and the report explained everything in plain English. Zero pressure to buy."

Not chainsaws. Judgment — where the notch goes, how the hinge holds, which way a thousand pounds of oak decides to fall. Every cut planned before the saw ever starts.
Every feature on this page exists to turn a worried homeowner into a booked estimate. Here's the machinery, in plain terms:
Storms don't check office hours. The request form takes the job at midnight on a Sunday, so the lead is yours by morning — not the competitor who answered first.
A tree on the roof at 2 AM is not a browsing session. One tap from any page — or the bar pinned to the bottom of the phone — and they're talking to you.
860 five-star stories sit right beside the call button, not buried on a testimonials page. Proof at the exact moment a homeowner is choosing who to trust.
Removal in Beaverton, pruning in Lake Oswego — each service and each town gets its own clear door in, so Google sends the right shopper to the right page.
When the office is dark, the chat still answers, calms the homeowner down, and books the visit. The panic search becomes your appointment, not a lost lead.
ISA certification and $2M insurance appear before any price talk — because with a 60-foot fir over a bedroom, fear is what stops the call, not cost.
Outside the list? Call us — for storm work especially, if we can't get there fast, we'll tell you who can.
Most Portland removals land between $650 and $3,500 depending on size, access, and what's underneath the tree. Your estimate is free, written, and itemized — the number we quote is the number you pay.
Yes. Storm calls ring a live crew member, not a machine, 24 hours a day. We make the scene safe first — tarps, blocked driveways, trees on structures — then schedule the full cleanup.
We're licensed and carry $2M in liability coverage, and we're happy to show certificates before work starts. In 17 years, our rigging-first approach is exactly why claims stay rare.
Often it can be saved — with pruning, cabling, or treatment. Our arborists get paid the same either way, so the assessment is honest. If a tree is dangerous, we'll show you exactly why, in writing.
Your choice: we chip and haul everything away, leave the chips as mulch, or cut the trunk into firewood rounds and stack them. Cleanup is included in every quote — never an add-on.
Phones are answered by our own Portland team — and by a live crew member after hours when it's an emergency.
