Tree Services in Portland, OR

Tree services in Portland from a mid-valley family crew that's been cutting trees since 1942. Caudle's Tree Service is run by Danny Caudle, third generation after his grandpa and his dad. We come up from Silverton for removals, big-tree work, stump grinding, storm cleanup and the rest of our tree care services. Call (503) 364-1642 for a free estimate.

Portland Firs, East Wind and Ice

Portland grows big trees. Douglas firs in the West Hills, old street trees on the east side, backyard conifers that have outgrown every lot they stand on.


Then January comes, the east wind pours out of the Gorge, and ice loads every limb in the city. Anyone who lived through the 2024 ice storm remembers what that does to a canopy.


Good tree services in Portland are mostly about getting ahead of that. Deadwood out, weight off long limbs, hazard trees dealt with before the storm instead of after.

Check the City Tree Code Before a Portland Removal

Portland has its own city tree code, and it requires a permit for a lot of removals, street trees especially, so check with the city before anything gets cut.


Once the paperwork side is settled, the work is the same as anywhere: plan the cut, protect the house and the neighbors, take it down clean, haul the brush.

Four Tree Services We Bring Up I-5 to Portland

Pruning Big Conifers on Portland Lots

Our tree pruning services in Portland take out deadwood, thin dense crowns so wind moves through, and lift limbs off roofs and power drops. There's a certified arborist on the team to look at structure before we cut.

Removing Large Trees From Tight Portland Yards

Lots in Portland neighborhoods are small and the trees are not. We rig and piece out large and hazardous trees when there's no room to drop them, then haul everything away. Here's how we approach a removal.

Portland Stump Grinding After the Tree Is Gone

If a removal left a stump in the yard, we grind Portland stumps below grade so the ground can be replanted or built on.

Emergency Tree Service Through Portland Ice Storms

Ice and wind take trees down at the worst hours. Our emergency line is 971-493-8706, and we're available 24 hours for storm work, in bad weather too. Read about our Portland emergency tree service or call (503) 364-1642 during the day.

Tree Maintenance Before the Next Portland Winter

The cheapest tree work is the work you do before a storm. Regular tree maintenance and tree trimming take off the dead and overextended limbs that ice brings down first.


We'll walk the property, tell you plainly which trees need attention and which are fine, and give you a free estimate. Cabling is an option for a weak tree you want to keep.

Commercial Tree Service Across the Portland Metro

Property managers, HOAs and business owners in the metro need trees kept clear of buildings, parking and walkways. Our commercial tree service in Portland covers trimming, removals and lot clearing, scheduled around your hours.

Why Portland Owners Hire a Three-Generation Tree Crew

Danny's grandpa started Caudle's in 1942. His dad ran it next. Danny has it now. Three generations of the same family doing tree work in the Willamette Valley.


Portland has no shortage of tree companies or tree removal companies. What we bring is a family tree cutting service with a certified arborist on the team, free estimates, brush hauled off, and the same answer to hard jobs every time: yes. Residential tree service and commercial work both.


Hours are 8 to 6, seven days a week, and most calls get a response the same day.
