Tree reviews in Portland, Oregon

Alex of Grateful Trees was very knowledgeable, professional, and just seems like a nice guy! He did a great job pruning my plum trees, and even gave me advice on a few other trees on my property that didn’t need immediate pruning. I plan to call him again the next time I need tree care services!

Alex is top notch! We knew our shrubs and trees needed some help, and we weren't even sure what that would look like. He came by to do a site assessment and promptly offered us reasonable bids with multiple tiers of options. Once we confirmed, he was out within a week and did an amazing job! Thorough, communicative, and transparent. We'll be referring and hiring him for many years to come!

Alex was an absolute pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend him. He was prompt and clear in his communication and the quality of his work is top notch. He worked with us to determine a pruning strategy for our Camellia that had gotten a bit unruly. The camellia looks amazing and working with Alex was a joy.

I am so happy we found Alex!!! He not only had the best quote from all the bids we had, but our trees look better now than when we first bought our house. He cleaned up our entire yard and was extremely quick, professional, and friendly. We will absolutely be using this business again and is our only referral for keeping up trees. Thanks again!

In my yard there's a patch where a holly tree and some Oregon Grape were commingling. I asked Alex to remove the holly tree, but forgot to mention that I wanted the Oregon Grape to stay in place. After he completed his work, I was to delighted to see that the holly was gone, but the Oregon Grape was left untouched. This, to me, is the Grateful Trees difference! Alex knows what he's doing, and has a broad knowledge of native plants. For folks like us who are looking to transition our yards to native plants, his eye for detail without any prompting from us was awesome. The jobs he completed for us were on time, professional, and completely clean. I will definitely be using Grateful Trees again in the future to tackle the big hedge and tree trimming projects at our home, so that I can focus on the fun stuff!

Alex was tremendous. His communication was prompt and clear, and he was really easy to work with. He came out to assess an ailing clematis that occupied a 20-foot span of a trellis in our backyard. After trimming it down to the roots and hauling it away, he talked through some alternatives we could consider if the clematis was unable to return to health. His expertise and helpful suggestions were greatly appreciated.

Alex also trimmed a couple silver maples in our front yard and did an excellent job. I'd absolutely recommend Alex and Grateful Trees and I will definitely hire him for future jobs!

Alex is great! We reached out to him for some help with an overgrown laurel hedge, our camelia, and a few smaller trees, and he was super helpful. He communicated well, showed up on time, trimmed things up, carried it off, and all at a great price. We put our trust in his expertise and are very satisfied with the result. Alex is a knowledgeable arborist, he's great to work with, and is flexible on scheduling and solutions to find what is right for one's needs. I highly recommend Grateful Trees!

I recently hired Alex at Grateful Trees to come and trim back the tangled mess of trees in my backyard, a job that should have been tackled at least a few years back. Alex is a pleasure to work with. He is prompt, communicative, does what he says he will do, works quickly and was conscientious in every way you would want him to be. He listened to what I wanted, and was able to shift gears when my ideas changed as his work revealed other possibilities. He is really a pleasure to have around. I highly recommend Grateful Trees if you are looking for someone to bring order to the trees in your yard. I'm very glad I found him.

Alex is great to work with. Really knowledgeable but open to our ideas as well. Great price, gets the work done when he says he will.

Alex did an amazing job with our unruly yard and overgrown trees. He was super easy to communicate with, timely, and had very fair prices. He was thoughtful in the work he did and took care of everything we asked. Would definitely recommend his services and will absolutely be asking him to come by again!

Alex did a great job pruning a variety of small to mid-sized trees for us, and it was a real pleasure working with him. He was very responsive to all my questions, took the time to explain everything, and gave me a few options for scope to balance our needs with our budget. I highly recommend him and will definitely be calling him again when our trees need more love.

I am beyond grateful! I had several trees and bushes that were in serious need of attention. Alex was fantastic throughout the entire process. Punctual and professional at the first meeting to assess everything, super knowledgeable, explained everything easily and got me a quote in no time. Excellent communication from start to finish! 100% would recommend and I will most definitely be calling on Alex again.

Alex (Grateful Trees) was awesome. I was nervous about planting two new small trees that we purchased for our front yard, so I emailed Alex and he responded right away and we set up a time for him to come by. He helped us plan where to put them and then expertly planted them, pruned them, and prepared them for a long life! I also had him look at the other trees on our property and assess what might be needed for them. He was very thorough in his evaluation of their health and wellness and what types of pruning could help improve them. Ultimately, we had Alex prune all the trees on our property (four large Maples, a number of tall conifers, and a decorative Japanese Maple) as well as help clean up a few small bushes and shrubs. He was easy to talk to, super helpful, and cleaned up every last branch and leaf left behind from all his hard work. I would highly recommend Alex to anyone who is hoping to improve the life of your trees, or simply wants their trees looking the best they can. Alex was very helpful and never made me feel bad for not knowing much about trees. Super great guy, an expert arborist, and a dependable hard worker. Five stars!!

We had an excellent experience with Alex and the crew at Grateful Trees. They handled two large projects for us including a tall hedge trim, blackberry removal and cleaning up an overgrown space.

Both jobs, Alex was professional and efficient and exceeded expectations with their work. We’ll definitely call on Grateful Trees again and highly recommend their services.

Great price, great communication. One of the nerve-wracking things about homeownership is trying to figure out which contractors to trust and Alex has earned mine for two jobs so far. He also worked with me to find a stump grinder who was at least as friendly and easy to work with. Would recommend to anyone looking for help with tree trimming, pruning, or shrub removal.

We had Alex trim our black walnut tree in our backyard and he was great! Easy communication, fair price, and very happy with the job. We are looking forward to him coming back to trim our pear tree next month.

The team that worked on the tree hazard in my backyard. Are great at taken care not to hurt the smaller trees. They are very professional in talking about the score of work and safety for everyone.

It’s about getting the job done more than “how good you cut a tree”…I couldn’t grade how good it was, but it was done, and I got what I needed in the best way I could imagine - great service - quick and snappy response time. I’d recommend them to anyone looking for tree cutting.

Hard working, knowledgeable, friendly, professional, my kids even had a blast watching the whole process and we’re thrilled to help carry branches to and fro. I had 10+ trees removed in my yard and they knew their stuff. They shared their expertise about trees and trimmings, will definitely have them back for that.

Eli and his team showed up to my house on time and handle everything in a quick and timely manner. safely removing a large tree close to our house with no issues. They were professional, fast, and left the yard spotless. High recommend!

5 Stars – Highly Recommended!

I recently hired Ilya’s team, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the experience from start to finish. Ilya and his team were professional, efficient, and incredibly knowledgeable. They handled a large tree removal on my property with great care, ensuring safety and precision every step of the way.

What really stood out was their attention to detail — not only did they remove the tree cleanly, but they also took the time to clean up the area afterward, leaving my yard looking better than before. Ilya was also transparent with pricing and timelines, which made the entire process stress-free.

If you’re looking for reliable, top-quality tree removal services, Ilya is the one to call. Honest, hardworking, and skilled — highly recommend!
