At General Tree Service, we are the arborists that keep the trees of Portland, OR healthy and safe all year round.

To provide you with the highest quality of service, we have several employees who have earned the ISA Certified Arborist credential. In addition to having been trained and knowledgeable in all aspects of arboriculture, they must adhere to a stringent Code of Ethics that strengthens the credibility of the workforce in the tree industry.

In order to be eligible for the exam, they have met one or both of the following:

  • 3 or more years of full-time, eligible, practical work experience in arboriculture
  • Degree in the field of arboriculture, horticulture, landscape architecture, or forestry from a regionally accredited educational institute.

Ongoing education is a priority of all our employees as we strive to deliver the highest quality of tree, shrub, and plant health care throughout Portland, Salem, and SW Washington.

Tree Risk Assessment Qualification

Several General Tree Service arborists have a Tree Risk Assessment Qualification or TRAQ. Through education and training, arborists learn strategies that include a standardized and systematic process for identifying and assessing tree risk.

We also provide information to tree owners so they can make educated and informed decisions concerning the safety of their family and property while considering the tree’s health and longevity.

How to Know When It’s Time to Call

When it comes to the trees in your yard, you can never be too careful. It might seem like an easy task, but trees are heavy creatures that aren’t as easy to maneuver as you might think. That is why it is always highly encouraged to have a certified arborist from General Tree Service around.
