Professional Tree Services in Tigard

Improve Your Property with Stump Removal

As a tree service and landscape company that is run by qualified professionals, we have strong opinions about how to perform tree service properly. A common problem we see from other landscaping companies or DIYers is that they don’t properly deal with the stump that is left over when a tree is removed or dies.

A stump will take years to degrade on its own all the while attracting ants, termites, and wood-rotting fungus. Does this sound like a good thing to have near your other trees or your wood-framed house?

At General Tree Service in Tigard, we deal with stumps that others leave behind. We understand the risks that stumps pose to your property and deal with them in the best way possible. By hiring us for stump grinding you can remove the eyesore and threat that your stumps present. You can also immediately begin to remediate the area by planting new grass or ornamentals.

Professional Arborist Services

Advertising as a tree care service is easy. Performing tree services properly is much more involved. At General Tree Service, we are qualified and trained to perform all duties relating to tree health care. We have multiple arborists on staff that are registered with the International Society of Arboriculture. This designation means that our arborists are educated to the highest standards of tree care.

Because of our expertise in the field of tree care, we are qualified to perform tree risk assessments. A tree risk assessment helps home and business owners understand the risks that trees may pose to their property. By scheduling a tree risk assessment, property owners will better understand the health and safety of their trees.

Insect and Disease Control

Insects and diseases can be detrimental to the health of a tree. Trees are like humans in the sense that they have immune systems and can be attacked by foreign organisms. Preventing these attacks is important to keep trees healthy. At General Tree Service, our arborists know how to treat all kinds of insect infestations and diseases.

Before deciding to cut down a diseased tree, call our professionals for a second opinion. Often damaged trees can be saved with selective pruning, fertilization, and disease treatment. If you’re looking to prevent problems, we can help with that too. It is common for tree owners to have their trees treated seasonally to prevent problems down the road.

Plant Healthcare

Ecosystems are complicated and delicate. Treating only trees within an ecosystem overlooks all of the interconnection present. At General Tree Service, we recognized the need for overall plant health in a landscape so we started offering plant health care and landscaping services.Plant health care is the natural next step from tree services. Some of the services we offer for plant health care include:

• Weed control
• Fertilization
• Disease treatment
• Tree and shrub planting
• Root collar excavation

What to Expect from Emergency Tree Service

Tree emergencies can be stressful situations. Usually, tree emergencies come as a result of a weather-related incident and damage is usually regional. At General Tree Service, our crews are on call to handle tree emergencies at any time. Once contacted, we will dispatch a crew to your property to deal with the active threats. Because damage is usually not isolated to your property, we may decide to help other customers after stabilizing your situation. If this is the case, we will return later to finish the job.

If you are involved in a tree emergency, don’t attempt to fix the problem yourself. Leave it to the professionals. Tree emergencies can be very dangerous, so do not approach, especially if power lines or utilities are involved. Call the utility companies to deal with their services first, then call General Tree Service to ensure your property is safe.

Trees are beautiful and valuable resources. Don’t leave their health and longevity to chance. Call the tree service professionals at General Tree Service at (503) 461-6535 today!
