Get tree removal bids in Portland & beyond
Removing a mature tree is real construction work: rigging, cranes on tight lots, city permits for street and heritage trees, and a stump that has to go somewhere. It is also priced all over the map, which is exactly why you want several bids on the same written scope. Describe the tree and the space around it once, set a budget range, and license-verified contractors bid on your job. Nobody gets your contact info until you pick a bid.

Tree removal & trimming questions, answered
Do I need a permit to remove a tree?
Often yes. Most Oregon and Washington cities require permits for street trees, and many for larger private trees, with rules that differ city to city. The contractor you pick typically handles the permit, but say which city you are in when you post.
Is trimming worth posting, or just removals?
Post the big stuff: full removals, multiple trees, major crown reduction, storm damage. A quick trim of one small tree is usually below the budget ranges here, and you will do better calling around for that.
What makes tree bids vary so much?
Access and risk. The same tree costs triple when it leans over a roof or a power line, or when the only way out is through a narrow gate. That is why photos and honest access notes get you accurate bids instead of surprises.
Are tree companies licensed the same way as other contractors?
In Oregon, tree work that involves structures or landscaping businesses generally requires a CCB license, and in Washington an L&I contractor registration. Every bid you see here comes from a company we verified against the state registry, which matters most in exactly this trade, where storm-chasing door knockers are common.
