WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
I hired General Tree Service to prune and clean out a Cypress tree. Initially, they sent two men out to do the job. I was not satisfied with what was done but it turned out to be an issue of miscommunication between myself and the estimator. General Tree immediately responded and sent the same two excellent men, Travis and Josh out to do further work on our tree.
They could not have been more pleasant and professional. Their work more than exceeded my expectations but the most impressive part is how General Tree stood behind the job and were willing to do what was needed to satisfy me, the customer. They have pleasant and capable employees and go the extra mile to satisfy their clientele.

We Specialize in Tree Removals and Pruning
Our certified arborists recommend regular tree pruning as it can lower the chance of storm damage by removing dead, dying, or diseased branches that are weak and more apt to break. Pruning also helps a tree develop a strong structure, making it foundationally sturdier and better able to withstand high winds.
Most people have a variety of trees on their property, which may all require different types of trimming to keep them healthy and strong. Oftentimes, more than one type of trimming is necessary.
When our sales team gives an estimate, they’ll listen to your concerns first. Then, they’ll give an expert assessment and discuss the type of tree trimming required to keep your trees and shrubs healthy and safe.
Root Health Care for Healthier Trees
Many trees suffer from the effects of improper mulching. Untrained tree services and landscaping crews make the mistake of pushing mulch up against the base of the tree. This fools the tree into thinking it is deeper underground so it sends out more roots. Over time the new roots can cut nutrient flow off from the rest of the tree.
Similar processes happen when the grade of a landscape is changed or dirt is brought in to cover up exposed roots. To fix this problem, our teams perform a root collar excavation to tree away harmful roots and restore health to the root ball.
If you have a tree that seems to be showing signs of struggle, such as small leaf size, crown dieback, or lack of root flair, contact us for an evaluation. We can advise whether a root zone enhancement or root collar excavation will put it back on the road to recovery.
Stump Removal Services
The answer to this problem is stump grinding from General Tree Service. With our stump grinding equipment, we can remove any stump in a matter of minutes. All that will be left will be a pile of sawdust that can be used as mulch. The area where the tree stood can be filled in with dirt and replanted any way the customer desires.
If you decide to replant the area, be sure to ask our arborists for recommendations. Our experts can help you decide exactly what will thrive based on size, nutrient availability, and light exposure.
Consulting Arborists for Peace of Mind
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 Tualatin and the surrounding area.
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.
Emergency Services for When the Worst Happens
If you are experiencing a tree emergency, get to a safe place, and call General Tree Service. We keep crews on call at all hours to deal with tree emergencies. Our crews will show up and stabilize the situation so that you can have peace of mind. Then we will return later to finish cleaning up the site.
