Tree reviews in Portland, Oregon

Highly professional. The Silent Rock Tree Service team were easy to book and provided top notch service on my poor Doug Fir. After the lightning struck, They went to work, communicating with the power company and the city to remove this tree in a timely manner. Thanks again!!

Dale, of Silent Rock Tree Service, provided expert knowledge and great skill in caring for our trees. He was punctual and efficient. I would heartily recommend Silent Rock Tree Service to anyone.

Dale is the best. I had a huge Elm tree fall on my house and he was amazing to work with. He is incredibly knowledgeable, thoughtful, and efficient. He helped me figure out how to get the electricity company to take responsibility for a part of the tree, something I never would have known to do on my own. And for the rest, he removed the massive tree from the roof and cleared all of the branches and debris. I am hiring him again soon to do more tree work for me.

Dale and Vern just left my house and I felt that I had to leave this review, even though I don't normally leave reviews. These guys removed a massive nuisance tree that had been allowed to gradually explode over the past decade, engulfing phone and ethernet cables, power lines, fencing, and probably the foundation of the house.

Honestly, I was dubious that they'd be able to take it down in a single day, given how dense and tangled this tree was. However, not only did they crush the job in a single day, but they did it without at all affecting any of the cables that were ensnarled in the branches, and they also cleaned up the entire yard. I am beyond impressed, and so grateful, especially because Dale did this work at such a fair price.

Long story short, today I learned that if you have a hairy, delicate, hopeless tree situation and need a couple of friendly, competent professionals to help you out, this is the business to call. Thank you so much, Dale and Vern!

I've used Silent Rock multiple times for general tree care, trimming, removal and re-planting. Dale is incredibly knowledgeable about tree health, in part because he genuinely cares about trees and their importance to our local environment. He also happens to be my neighbor and has knocked on my door before to let me know he was worried about the health of one of my trees (he was right, it was diseased and had to come down), in addition to using his gear to rescue my cat from the top of a very tall tree once, all on his own dime! Great service, competitive prices, and happy healthy trees - give Silent Rock your business and you won't be sorry.

The work done exceeded my expectations. True professionalism at work. Excellent communication, timely execution of the job, complete cleanup after. He even offered to clean up tree debris for my neighbor. I highly recommend Silent Rock Tree Service.

Dale did a great Job! Pruned large maple (looks really good) and removed willow. On time, cleaned up, and competitive prices. Will definitely use again if needed. Highly recommend!

These guys didn't an amazing job for me! I highly recommend their services. My home had a huge Western yellow cedar that needed meticulous trimming. Big job, it turned out incredibly well done. Easy to work with and great follow up..

I called Dale after waking up on a Saturday morning to downed trees from a stormy night. He not only talked to me right away, he offered to come over and take a look. By the time other places were just returning my call he had already provided a bid and gone above and beyond to share his guidance on the best solution. The next week he got my project taken care of. Throughout the whole process he was exceptionally helpful and also just fun to talk to. I couldn't recommend him more.

Dale was very knowledgeable (certified arborist) and very easy to work with from start to finish… he gave a very competitive bid and told me exactly what his plan was and then executed it flawlessly! I highly recommend! As an added bonus a lot of his saws are either hydraulic or electric so the first half of the job was extremely quiet, which is not what you expect when have tree work done!

After evaluating multiple services, I elected to go with Dale and his team. Their pricing was competitive but what impressed me was Dale’s knowledge and in depth discussion/analysis of what would be feasible for tree health. Many others would just simply do what was asked, Dale took the time to go through what options were and what would be best from a longevity standpoint. Two of my neighbors also elected to use SRTS and were very pleased with the work.

Dale has tremendous knowledge of the trees in Portland. Our 100 year old red oak was given a thorough grooming and it now looks healthier and happier. They were prompt, exacting, and their method is quiet! I will continue to count on Silent Rock Tree for our grande dame! Thanks so much, Dale!

We requested Silent Rock to cut down a large fir and pine tree that were next to each other on our property line. Dale was extremely prompt and thorough in his communication from start to finish.
Dale and his team executed the job exactly as he quoted within the timeframe. I will absolutely use him going forward for any tree service and will recommend him to neighbors, friends, and family.

We are very pleased with how Dale at Silent Rock Tree Service transformed our back and front yard. We appreciate his expert knowledge of trees as he explained which tree needed special care and maintenance. They trimmed some branches of most trees and they did so in a professional, timely manner - at a reasonable price. We give them our highest recommendations.

I recently hired Dale at Silent Rock Tree Service to handle several trees around my Portland, OR home, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! Dale pruned a dogwood, three large maples, and removed a Sycamore Maple, along with two small apple trees that just weren’t thriving.

From start to finish, Dale's communication was outstanding. He was quick to respond to my questions, showed up on time, and stuck to the original quote. His team was friendly, professional, and clearly knowledgeable, with years of experience. Dale really took the time to prioritize the health of my trees, offering thoughtful advice on how best to care for them moving forward.

The work was done efficiently and with great care, and I’m thrilled with the outcome. The pricing was also reasonable, especially considering the quality of service. I highly recommend Silent Rock Tree Service to anyone in need of expert tree care — Dale is a trustworthy and skilled professional who truly knows his craft!

Dale was quick to come provide a free estimate for routine work on our tall conifer and we were able to schedule for the following week. Dale was professional, knowledgeable, communicative, and has fair prices. Will absolutely go to him again if we need emergency tree work and for the next time our tree needs trimmed.

Dale did a great job pruning our magnolia tree for a very reasonable price (also removing a dead tree and trimming another), and we are very happy with the result. Like these other reviews point out, he clearly cares about tree health and was very informative about the work he was doing and how best to care for the tree afterwards. I will be calling him in a couple years to finish out the crown!

Dale brought expertise and great care to the task of pruning 2 of our trees. It was clear that the health of the tree was his priority always. When I go outside now and gaze up at the canopies, I feel a deep gratitude for his stewardship and his love of trees. Reasonable and fair pricing as well. I wholeheartedly recommend Silent Rock Tree Service and will use them again!

Dale and Vern were well-prepared for the efficient and thorough removal of two fast-growing trees outgrowing their locations. In addition they took extreme care with the selective trimming of two other valuable trees - one in the front yard with heavy fruit and another in the rear yard where further growth would have led to limb failure.

The work went smoothly despite extensive vine interference from the neighbor’s unmaintained overgrowth that made trimming difficult and dangerous.

The work was fairly priced and provided a clean look to the entire yard and home when completed.

Highly recommend Dale for any expert services needed for the care and maintenance of your trees and landscaping.

Yesterday Dale Richardson, owner of Silent Rock Tree Service, drove his big tree service rig into our driveway towing a large wood chipper. He set out warning cones in the street and climbed into the bucket at the end of an articulated boom and began to raise it carefully through a maze of electrical, phone, TV and internet cables. He was about to begin the five hour process of bringing a tall, mature big leaf maple tree with a huge spreading canopy to the ground. He first maneuvered up and out to the most remote and smaller branches and began sawing them off and dropping them to the ground where his ground man, Verne, would feed them into the powerful chipper where they quickly disappeared. What followed was a carefully choreographed process in which Dale moved the bucket up and down, back and forth as he continued to cut and discard carefully selected pieces of the tree. I watched parts of the process from a second floor window of our house with a deep appreciation of the skill on exhibit of an experienced tree specialist. He moved systematically and gracefully down the tree removing increasingly thick branches, limbs and finally sections of the several trunks. He used different chain saws and cut though large pieces leaving them balanced on the remaining trunk below, then pushed them off to the ground. Dale completed the job by sawing the wide remaining trunk down to a few inches from the ground. Then he and Vern packed up and cleaned the area.

I contacted Dale Richardson because he was recommended to me by a professional arborist who evaluates trees for trimming and/or removal by an electric utility. Dale is a certified arborist with extensive experience in tree service. He quickly responded to a request for an estimate for tree removal and gave an oral cost estimate during his appraisal of the tree. This was followed later the same day with a written quote via email. He is very confident of his knowledge of trees and his ability to get a job done. In our initial meeting he described the approach that he would take to bring the tree down and that’s exactly what he did when the day arrived to begin work. When finally the permit for tree removal was approved by the city, I phoned Dale and he scheduled the job to begin a few days later. I felt at the time that his cost estimate was reasonable and am completely satisfied with the work that was done. I have little doubt that our money was well spent and I am pleased to recommend Silent Rock Tree Service to anyone with a tree that needs trimming or removal.

Dale and his team did a great job of removing 3 huge trees surrounded be my deck. They were very careful to not damage our cabin or deck. I would highly recommend him. Would give more than 5 stars if I could and will use him again in the future
