You should keep your trees regularly maintained so they are more beneficial than harmful, but sometimes the need to remove them arises and there is nothing else to be done. There are a number of reasons you could possibly need tree removal services.

• In Response to an Emergency

  There are different types of emergencies that can make tree removal necessary. Storms, heavy rain and age can cause a tree to break branches or to fall entirely. In these cases, there is the potential to damage property or block roads and drains. In an emergency, you need tree removal experts that will respond with swiftness.

• For Better Tree Growth

  If you have an area with a lot of trees, your older and taller trees may be stunting the growth of the younger, weaker plants beneath it. They do this by blocking out sunlight. Sometimes based on the condition of the larger trees, pruning alone will not be enough. At this point, we recommend tree removal. By getting rid of an older tree you can give life to the many trees and plants below. It.

• To Improve Aesthetics

  You can improve the aesthetics of your property by thinning out the thicket. If you have a lot of trees, some can be removed so that those remaining can be pruned and shaped. This can greatly improve the aesthetics of your yard. Instead of having a dense area of matted trees you can have a nicely pruned area of trees.

• To Remove Dangerous Branches and Trees

  Your tree growth should be assessed regularly by a tree expert. The more trees you have on your property, the more important this task. As trees age, they can become more susceptible to disease. They can also become weak and pose a threat to all around them. Our team of experts can identify when a tree needs to be removed because it is posing a threat to persons and property. They can advise you on your options to include full tree removal or heavy pruning. If we have to remove more than 50% of a tree, this is considered a tree removal.

All About a City of Lake Oswego Tree Removal Permit

Whatever service we are tasked with we always work by adhering to the tree code. The aLke Oswego Tree Code aims to protect trees and to preserve the area’s wooded character. The code regulates all tree removals. It encourages and assists owners of large forested properties, and it prescribes protection measures to avoid tree damage whenever there is site development.

When it comes to tree removal, there may be a need for a permit. All trees with a diameter at breast height of more than 6 inches will require a permit for removal. This is just for stumps and not for hedges and shrubs. Our expert team knows which plants fall into these classifications and can best advise you if there is a need for a permit.

Permits are only required for the removal of trees. There is no need to obtain a permit for regular maintenance such as pruning. If we have to top a tree or remove more than 50% of the existing tree or do anything that may result in the death of the tree, then it is considered a removal. Removal of trees without a permit is subject to enforcement action.

• There are different types of permits for tree removal.
• Dead tree and invasive tree removal permits will not expire but other types will.
• Emergency, Hazard and Type l and ll permits are valid for up to 60 days after the issue date. The tree to which the permit was created must be removed within that 60 day period. In rare cases where an extension is required, a written request must be sent to the Planning Department. This will allow a one-time extension of up to 60 days.

Emergency and Invasive tree permits are free but other types of tree permits come at a cost. This cost will depend on the type of tree permits required and can run from $20 and up.
