Tree reviews in Salem, Oregon

If I could give Elwood and his crew more than 5 stars, I would, but alas, i can not. My boss has used Elwood as their Arborist for Decades, not exactly sure for how long, but probably longer than I have been alive(a Stately level of House). While his services are a little more expensive than i would normally go for; it comes with the fact that they are highly insured and the quality of their work. Had his crew come out and prune my 100'+ birch tree and I don't have to worry about the willowed branches falling in my yard everyday for a while.

If you’re looking for a tree service company whose priority is the health and beauty of your established trees, Elwood’s should be your first call! We have a beautiful, big, very old shade tree that provides wonderful dappled shade over half of our backyard. At least twice now, PGE has come in and ‘pruned’ it back heartlessly, causing sun scald to one side of the trunk. We were very concerned for the life of the tree so had Elwood’s come in and evaluate it. They were able to explain what had caused the damage, beautifully pruned portions that had died, and left us with a refreshed and lovely tree. We wouldn’t consider using any other service. They are the very best!

Truly experts! For 30 years we've relied on their true arborist skills & wisdom; they've always done a fabulous job! I've never seen a crew work harder, or more efficiently.
They even trimmed up our palm trees (a bit of a rarity in Salem)

We've used Elwood's several times since moving to Salem. Carlos and Laura were so professional and friendly. We had a maple tree in our backyard that was hanging too low over our house. They raised it, repaired some previous poor trimming and also pruned up a Southern Magnolia we had next to the tree. The cleanup was amazing and they were so careful of our other shrubs and plants. I highly recommend this company. We have never had a bad experience with any of their staff. They are very attentive and easy to be around. Thank you so much! We'll see you in another 2 years.

Awesome service from Elwood! Thanks for quickly and efficiently taking down our birch tree. Highly appreciate the job your team did!

My company hired Elwood's Tree Service to clear brush and blackberries on about 5 acres of land on our project, as well as a tree health inventory on a grove of Oregon White Oaks. Elwood was fantastic to work with, accommodating our frequent schedule changes, and providing advice on working around the oaks while complying with preservation requirements. Our field crews were very satisfied with the quality of clearing, and we look forward to working with this company in the future!

I think 5 star reviews should truly be for great services. And Elwood’s rates 5 stars. We’ve had Elwood and team take care of our trees for many years and the entire crew consistently takes great professional care of our trees, helps educate about current or future issues, and they’re just darn nice to work with. It is clear Elwood takes crew safety seriously every time. Won’t hesitate to continue working with them in the future or recommend as an caring employer.

Joseph and Ethan removed a very tall sweetgum tree, with branches covering my power line. They were respectful, professional and They did a fantastic job. I was impressed by their attention to the delicate trimming around the power line and then later they did a fantastic job of cleaning up all the wood chip debris from my property and from the street. Talking you up, to anyone who will listen…

When Joseph and Ethan first arrived at our home, I thought, “Wow! They seem so young!” But what a wonderful surprise to find that they were both very knowledgeable, professional, kind, and extremely hard working. After removing a very large Birch tree and giving our very large Maple tree a good pruning, our backyard looked like a hurricane/war zone. But after they were completely done, the yard looked better than when they started! We will definitely ask for this “dynamic duo” if we need any future tree services. Thank you for the exceptional work done!

Joseph and Carlos are masters of their craft! We needed a 38-year-old Douglas fir trimmed to provide more light for our neighbor's rhododendron and our own raised beds. It was a tricky job, trying to keep the large limbs from falling on the plants and structures below, but Joseph and Carlos masterfully guided them away and protected everything. The result was an even canopy with lots of light below it. And they cleaned up the lawn and driveway so there wasn't a trace that they'd been here. These guys are pros and we'll certainly use them for our next project.

Joseph, Carlos, & Dyran were outstanding. We had a big project for tree removal and topping off 2 giant trees. They were courteous, professional, and respectful. Elwood’s always does a wonderful job!
Thank you guys!

We normally do our own tree trimming but needed some help catching up with projects this year and reached out to Elwood Tree Service after finding their ad in the mail. The initial walk through was very informative and we decided how best we could work together. They cleared the deadwood off the cedars closest to the house as seen in the before and after pictures. Everyone we talked to was very professional and communicated any changes during the process in advance. We'd hire them again and really appreciate that even though our project was small they treated it just as professionally as a big job!

Most professional company ive ever worked with. They do the best work ive ever seen, they even level the ground of the tree falling. Im. Just so impressed by their professionalism and kindness. Lifelong customer now(hopefully not to many of my trees needs to be cut!)

Thank you all again!

We continue to rely on Elwood's Tree Service to maintain our trees. Joseph and Caleb came by yesterday to prune our Oregon White Oaks and fruit trees, and to check the cable supporting one of the oak's major branches. They performed the requested tasks carefully and professionally, and cleaned up thoroughly afterward. Joseph showed us what he and Caleb had done, and fully explained it and answered our questions. We are happy with their work.

Pictures say 1000 words.... before and after. Mother nature was taking my tree apart limb by limb. Self thinning. The last one took out a bank of mail boxes. Dalton was here in a short time and work was done so fast. His crew arrived early and they were wonderful. Its now safe to walk in front of my house again. I and many of the neighbors thank you.

Capitol Tree Service did an amazing job!!! They were very efficient and the quote to remove 2 large Maple trees is exactly what I paid and was very reasonable. I will definitely use this company in the future for any of my tree trimming or removal needs! Thank you!

Jose and his helper were great. He had trimmed my trees years earlier and I was happy then and happy once again. Very reasonably priced, they did great work, and cleaned up everything behind them. They were professional and very knowledgeable. Happy to refer them to others. Great company.

Jose gave us a very reasonable quote, and he and his team did a great job trimming back our giant tree. The clean up job was also excellent. Highly recommended.

I am incredibly pleased with the work Jose and Rolando, of Capitol Tree Service, did for me recently. I had an overgrown camelia tree hanging over my roof and growing through the phone and powerlines, a huge arborvitae which was precariously close to my neighbor’s garage, and a large 80-foot fir tree which had about 8 massive limbs hanging over the neighbors fence, work shed, and garage.

I called several tree trimming services in the Salem area for bids, and left voice messages. Capitol Tree called me back later that same day. Two other services did not return my calls until nearly a week later, at which point Capitol Tree had already completed the job. Capital Tree was on-site the next day after I called them, at 7:30am, to bid the job. It was reasonable and fair in my opinion, based on the amount of work required to safely remove the two trees, and remove the limbs from over the neighbor’s property.

The work went smoothly and quickly. They were done in less than a day, and they chipped up all the small branches, and cleaned up all the sawdust and debris afterward. No damage to my property, or to the neighbor’s, which was my chief concern. Both Jose and Rolando were professional and courteous.

My home has a wood stove, and there is a wood pile in my backyard. Rolando and Jose were observant of this and on their own initiative, they cut up all the big wood into fireplace-size rounds and stacked them up neatly next to the wood pile. This is something which I did not even to think to ask for which will save me $100-200 in firewood in the coming years. I would recommend Capitol Tree to anyone, and I would use them again.

Capitol Tree Service removed a failing birch and leggy red maple from my back yard. The crew of two had the trees down and everything cleaned up in less than three hours. They were very careful around our other plants and left the yard in good condition. We're very happy we chose Capitol

Jose Lopez and team came today to prune and trim many trees and shrubs and also removed some trees. I appreciated him so much - he remembered everything we had discussed when he first came out to give me a quote and took great care to be very detailed - leaving my trees looking so much better than before. I had a few additional requests on the day he arrived and he had no problem to add those items in. I will definitely return to this business and highly recommend him!
