Tree reviews in Salem, Oregon

Shane and Jeremiah were wonderful for Elwood's Tree Service removing a problematic tree along our neighbor's property line. Very pleased. Personable. Professional. Knowledgeable.

We recommend Elwood's Tree Service unconditionally!

We were so happy with their service! They did a great job removing tricky-to-access trees in our yard. The workers were very skilled and efficient. They were able to see us quickly and had competitive prices. We highly recommend them!

My husband and I needed to have three trees removed including the grinding of the stumps in addition to another existing stump we had in our yard. We also have 5 very old oak trees that needed mistletoe removed. Elwoods came out and gave an honest recommendation on the health of our trees and a free estimate. I appreciated his honesty. He seemed to care about the health of the trees rather than quoting extra work which I appreciate. It was worth it to have a certified arborist and not just any yard maintenance company take care of our yard. They did an amazing job too. The unhealthy ugly trees we wanted removed are gone. My oak trees look beautiful and my yard looks so much better! I highly recommend Elwoods to anyone who has large beautiful trees that need some attention. These guys are worth every penny and honestly I didn't think they were that expensive considering how much work they did.

Great experience! They came quickly to assess our tree situation and were able to get us on the schedule fast too. Very quick work and just what we needed.

A true Arborist. We started working with Elwood’s five years ago. After purchasing our home the home inspector recommended that we have some trees trimmed back over our house. After consulting with four different companies in Salem (all highly reviewed), Elwood’s was the only arborist willing to trim back a Spruce tree so it didn’t damage our roof. The other companies said to either cut the tree down or to monitor it and cut it down if it started leaning more. We chose Elwood’s because we wanted to keep the trees as long as possible. Over the years, Elwood’s has pruned trees, removed trees that are dieing, and given us some hardcore advice about the invasive birch beetle and when it is truly time to remove birch trees. Now, 2021 and Salem has had a devastating ice storm. Sadly two of our neighbor’s healthy (but not pruned) trees fell on our house. If Elwood’s had not insisted a diseased birch be removed last Fall, we would have had three trees on our house with catastrophic damage. Elwood’s has always given an honest and accurate assessment of our tree health and is willing to save trees when they can be saved. During this ice storm none of our own trees damaged our house or other houses— and our neighbors have noted what a good investment it is to have an arborist take care of your trees. If we had cut down that Spruce 5 years ago- which did survive the ice storm- it would have been one less tree today. If we had just “watched” that Spruce, I am sure it would be down today. Also, thank you Elwood’s for insisting a diseased birch had to come down last Fall- or we would be living in a hotel right now. If you are interested in a true arborist to evaluate the health of your trees and take care of them for the long term, choose Elwood’s.

Elwood’s crew came out to remove 6 trees that included some broken limbs stuck over a building. What a great bunch of guys and true professionals. They were careful, very conscious of safety and fire risk, and worked their way through what appeared to be a tough job. When it was done they cleaned up everything and left things better than they found them. We were very pleased with the service and would recommend them to anybody. We will certainly call them again in the future. Thanks Elwood!

A person answered the initial call, and scheduled an estimate for the next day. Price for a birch removal was fair, and removal was scheduled for 2 days later. The crew was friendly, efficient, cleaned up very well. We received service that is hard to find these days. Highly recommend.

I highly recommend Elwood Tree Service. They are professional, respectful and communicate well. Well trained and knowledgeable employees that take the time to discuss the work you need/want completed. They removed a tree I had that was in a tight spot and did an exceptional job!

Elwood did a great job removing two trees and grinding the stumps. The crew was very professional and efficient. They were timely and kept there word when they gave me a schedule. Really pleased with the interaction. Will DEFINITELY use them again and would recommend them to anyone.

Elwood Tree Service worked on a commercial property we have in Salem. They were extremely professionally and did a great job. We ended up getting into a complex situation with a homeless individual and the team handled it very well and even helped her find a new spot to stay. Appreciate you guys!

Joseph was here this morning and did a great job doing a stump removal! He communicated before doing the work to make sure we were both on the same page as what was needed. He took his time communicating concerns and asked if I had any questions. 5 stars!

I highly recommend Elwood's Tree Service. They are professional, timely, and the best price in Salem. Don't waste your time with Mt
View or R&R, both of which are double the price and have caused damage to my property on previous tree trimmings. I was most impressed by the Elwoods crew who cut 17 trees out for me this spring and ground out about half a dozen large stumps. They worked their butt of in the sideways rain and were each positive and professional the entire time. Seriously, if you want the job done right for the a fair price call Elwood.

I had a tree emergency and Elwood gave me an estimate and sent his crew the same day I called. His team are professional, polite and thorough. I am so grateful to have avoided a catastrophe from a falling tree! I highly recommend Elwood and his team and will call them for any jobs I might have in the future.
Thank you so much!

In mid January 2024 we had a wind storm, causing a huge fir tree to fall on our house. We also had the roots of five other similar firs start to lift, also threatening the house. As the wind persisted, it caused my wife and I to leave the house until the trees were down. Dalton came and professionally surveyed the scene, reassuring us that they could do the job and do it soon. This was going to be a very difficult and technical tree removal due to the tree placement. Not a problem. A couple days later (very quickly) Dalton, Shane, Devin, Ian and Ryan came out and took care of all 6 trees. Each person was a joy to work with. They were professional, quick and courteous. I recommended Elwood's to three other neighbors, who also hired them to do their problem trees. Their jobs have just finished but as far as I know, they were just as impressed as I was with them. Good Job guys! THANKS!

I had 8 Birch Trees trimmed and 2 removed. The crew was here much of the day. They were hardworking, professional, neat and answered all my questions. I would recommend Ellwood and plan to use them on an annual basis.

The crew is the greatest. All got their jobs,work so well together. Need tree service he's the one to call. Fair price great work.

A young man named Dalton came out to look at our tree and give us an estimate. He was beyond his years with expierience and knowledge. Dalton was very polite, respectful and professional.

We ended up having Elwood's do our work, and I am so pleased that we did.

The men they sent out knew exactly what Dalton and I had agreed should be done and they got right to work.

We were very pleased with the pruning, weight reduction and cable securement system they placed on our larger trunks that gave us worry on windy nights.
When they were done my yard looked better than before they arrived, they left no trace that they were there exciept a happier tree and wife. The work crew were every much as respectful as Dalton was, tgey made sure to come and ask us to come look at their work and ask if we were satisfied with how they left things, we were.
Two of my sons have each used Elwood's for tree work, They refered Elwood's to me, now I am refering them to you.
It reminds me of when a handshake and agreement between a bussiness and customer meant everything. Randy.

Joseph and Dyran did a great job thinning out the deadwood from our fir trees. We appreciated the care they took to not drop big limbs from way up high, but to set up a zip line to bring them down safely (which was also fun to watch). Thanks guys! Nicely done.

Elwoods is my go to company for tree care, tree removal and stump grinding. Today Joseph removed a stump from a tree that Elwoods cut down, he was quick and knowledgeable. Friendly company that tries!

Excellent service! It started with Dalton, who is extremely knowledgeable, looking at all of our trees and giving us a very good bid and explaining what needed to be done.
Next we had the pleasure of having Shane and Joseph come out and cut and trim our trees! Fantastic job! Highly recommend this company.

I called Elwoods because they are who my mom uses and she has been very pleased with them. I tried to get them to come out here after the ice storm, but unfortunately everybody was so darn busy.

Anyway, Dalton is great. He's a great resource for everything trees. The crew came over and did exactly what I asked them to do. They did a great job and they were very pleasant to work with.

After a giant cluster with another tree company, I'm happy to say that Elwoods exceeded my expectations! 😀👍🏻
