For The Love Of Trees is a locally-owned and operated tree service provider serving the greater west side of Portland, Oregon metropolitan area. We specialize in pruning and preserving trees for long-term health, safety, and environmental sustainability. We are also well-versed in tree removals of all sizes.
Stump Grinding and Removal
Stump grinding keeps unwanted growth at bay and your property looking great. We generally grind stumps 10 inches deep, depending on the terrain and accessibility of the stump, and can grind slightly deeper if necessary.
Storm Damage Cleanup
Genetics, sun exposure, crowding from other plants, wind exposure, storm damage and water availability all affect the natural structure of a tree. Pruning to promote healthy tree structure results in a more robust and balanced form. The desired structure of the tree varies widely with species, but general approaches involve selective removal of secondary stems to promote growth of a central leader stem, removal of crossing or rubbing branches, slight thinning and reduction of end-weight.
Well maintained trees increase property value, provide energy-saving shade and windbreak, prevent soil erosion, provide habitat and food for animals and pollinators, sequester carbon, and deflect urban noise. Tree pruning services are an important part of keeping your valuable trees healthy and vibrant.
Tree Maintenance
Our professional and community affiliations further these ideals. We are professionally affiliated with the ISA (International Society of Arboriculture) to stay current on new developments in tree care, and we support community partners who further the care of our urban forest such as Friends of Trees and Hoyt Arboretum.
Arborist Services
Cities, counties and insurance companies often require Certified Arborist Reports for hazard analysis, permit applications, construction mitigation, tree inventories, and insurance claims. Jeremy Fry, ISA Certified Arborist (PN-6849A) and company owner, is Tree Risk Assessment Qualified, and is well-versed in ISA standards. He conducts a thorough analysis and documents his detailed findings in the Certified Arborist Reports he provides.
