Damon came by in a short notice by our request. He did the job quickly! We're satisfied with him and his services. He communicated with us by his phone and me with paper (We're Deaf). Thank you! read more

Treecology, Inc - Trimmed tree for the electrician to do. - Landscaping Near Me

This company trimmed a neighbor's tree that hangs over my property. A huge amount of leaves fall on my roof, in my gutters, and in my yard each year. When asked about trimming the over hanging branches to reduce this, the employee suggested that I didn't understand how leaves work!!! Incredibly condescending. I suspect that if I was a guy he would not have made this statement. They proceeded to trim a very small number of branches, most of which did not actually hang over my property and suggested the others could not be reached--odd excuse for an arborist with climbing gear on! He also blamed trimmings done by a company that I hired several years ago was the cause of the growth of other branches. Incredible! read more

Great company! Their team is super communicative, timely, clean, efficient... very professional.They trimmed a tree (cutting out a large limb) that was overhanging my yard and did a great job. I'd hire them again and recommend them to my neighbors and friends. read more

We have been a fan of Damon, and his company, Treecology, for several years. We have a home on a a very steep hill with many varied and tall beautiful trees. Since our home is all about the view of the mountains, periodically the tall trees need to be cut back. Damon is an arborist and his team is amazing. They climb several feet up the trees, and as they work, they also keep in contact with the owner via iPhone. When finished, the trees are beautifully shaped, never topped, and will stay that way for years. If you are looking for an extremely friendly, reasonably priced and professional company, contact Damon at Treecology. He'll come to your home or office, listen and discuss very reasonably priced options. There is no-one better! Phyllis N read more

I rarely write bad reviews and hesitated writing this one but do not want others to have similar issues.... We had a terrible experience with this company!!! Had chips delivered while I was home. The driver got out of the truck after he dumped all the chips, noticing damage to our fence post. He asked me to look it over and if the damage was there prior to his delivery, to call the office to report, handing me a business card. I told him I would check with my husband and neighbors as I was not sure if the damage was caused by his delivery. I was giving him the benefit of the doubt. The delivery was recorded with our security cameras and I also took photos to show my husband. The video footage and photos captured the driver backing up in to our fence. After watching the footage and talking with my husband and neighbors we determined it was in fact damage done by Treecology's delivery. I also checked our inspection report from less than a year prior and the fence post was not damaged at that time. I called the company to report the event and details, as the driver had instructed me to do. The woman I spoke with initially reassured me that the post would be fixed quickly. After the call I received a very rude, passive aggressive and condescending email from Damon at the company saying they would not take any responsibility and that the driver was insulted and upset. ("When my employee was asked about the accusation, he became very upset because he recalled specifically talking with you and you agreeing that the truck was nowhere near the fence post because you asked about it." ) This is a blatantly untrue statement! The driver called the damaged post to my attention and encouraged me to contact the company to report the damage if we determined it was not there prior to delivery day. I have witnesses and photos to back this all up! The company stated that after they looked at the fence post there was a spider web and grass clippings inside the split wood. They inspected the damage over a month later, which is plenty of time for a spider web and grass clipping to wedge inside the wood.I wrote an email response back to counter their response and comment on the tone/rudeness of the email. This email did not change a thing and the company still refused to pay for the damage. I would imagine that the replacement fence post and labor would be pretty inexpensive and not time consuming. Certainly worthwhile to fix, if even just to protect the reputation of your company, you would think! So many other reputable places out there for arborists/chip services. Stay clear of this place! read more

Treecology crew did a great job trimming a very large tree at my residence. They are very knowledgeable and professional. The tree looks beautiful and they did a nice job cleaning up the debris. They even pruned a few additional shrubs that weren't on the order. Going the extra mile! read more

While we appreciated the initial response, we had a number of challenges with communication, scheduling, cost, and accountability. They bid services on two large trees separately but planned to do the work in a day. They did a poor job scheduling the work by underestimating the level of effort so they had to schedule a second day a month later after neighbors had already prepared for the work. On the follow up visit, they pruned for less than three hours. When asked about the LOE and the fact that the work did not match the bid (note this was an updated bid from 990 to 1650 from the owner) or our expectations, the crew lead noted that they were already over budget on the job because they ran over on the first tree and so were out of funds. First, you don't bid trees separately if you're going to mix and match your effort. Second, if you are nearing your budget on the first tree, you should talk to the owner, not use the funds for a separate, independent job for which you are bound to complete. While we were able to reach some agreement on cost (renegotiated), there was never any accountability. All we heard in the subsequent discussions were excuses. After that situation, it seemed like they were in damage control, making excuses, and nothing felt transparent or honest in discussions. Like taking your car to a bad mechanic and not being sure what they were saying was true. We've used Overlook Tree Preservation in the past and would go with them going forward. read more

I have had other companies prune some of the trees on our 1-1/2 acres, but I don't plan on having them back. Granted, I couldn't remember Treecology's name at first, but because I had observed and then spoken with two of the employees working on my neighbor's property, I made an effort to find out. I appreciated their views on the surrounding environment, their work ethic, and their small "family-like" company. Damon has built a company that takes into account the type of environment that his crew will be working in. My property has a lot of natural wildlife habitat, and he made recommendations based upon concerns I had on keeping some snags available for woodpeckers and other birds. I told him what I didn't like about previous work by other companies, and he understood. On the first job, the four-man crew had a budget of $2000, and the men worked quickly and got a lot done before the time limit was up. They offered to do detailed cleanup, but since it was something I could do myself, I let them continue with working on trees. The trees looked better than I imagined when they were finished. I am very happy with Treecology, and intend on a continued relationship with this company. I want them to be THE only company that works on our trees. read more

If I had more trees I'd let Treecology cut and maintain them all. Excellent company. On time to the job site. Crew worked in perfect harmony. Very friendly and professional. Did exactly what I hired them to do. It was a semi large job and when they left, you couldn't even tell they were there. No footprint. Their pricing is competitive with their peers. Again. On time, professional and excellent work attitude. Would highly recommend them. read more

Excellent customer service, great work, and thorough clean-up. This was a complex job, with everything from precise pruning to adding a cable to a red oak -- all done with care and skill. read more

Treecology was very fast and helpful. When I had a tree in my driveway, I called ten (10) arborists and Treecology was one of three able to go out right away. They called back within ninety minutes and were almost at my house. I really appreciate the responsiveness and assistance. It turns out I didn't need to hire them (the tree was rotten so someone broke it up and moved it by hand), but they almost made it to my house before I could call back and say I didn't need them! Thanks Treecology! read more

I set up a bid with Treecology recently. I had several bids out and ended up booking a company before the Treecology bid. I am writing a positive review because they dutifully showed up to the bid and waited for me, but I was not at home. So sorry about this! I wish you had a bid confirmation system, but this is my fault for not keeping track of my calendar. My coworker recommends this company highly, so I am passing that on. read more

Fantastic!! I had a tree split in half during a windstorm on a weekend with half of it in my backyard and the rest leaning precariously towards the neighbors house. Treecology responded fast to my call and were out to my house to assess the situation within a few hours. Damon was professional and even pointed out another tree in my yard that was fine at the moment but we'd need to keep an eye on it and consider removing it as it had the same problems as the tree that fell (non-native pine that was smaller but already showing signs of the type of rot that made the other tree fall). Very few arborists even responded to my weekend emergency call, of the few that did and could come out to my house, none of them caught the other tree that was becoming a danger in my yard too. A day later Treecology was out at my house and the partially snapped and dangerous tree was gone, site cleaned up, and a bunch of wood was left for our fireplace! I would absolutely use Treecology again! Professional, responsive, knowledgeable, and reasonable prices. Great company that is definitely worth the call! read more

I have used Treecology for years, and have always given them rave reviews, that is until our last experience. We have several ornamental trees in our yard that require precise and vision pruning. Until last year they had trained fine pruners that were amazing on their staff, but after one of the fine pruners left, and the other moved on to another career, they did not replace them. Instead, they sent out their big tree pruners, and tree removal specialist ( we did have a dogwood tree taken out), but not the fine pruner. We paid a huge amount of money expecting a fine prune for several of our trees, but that is not what they delivered. We were very disappointed in their professionalism, and will look elsewhere for our needs in the future. I hate to give them a mediocre review because we have used their services for several years, but I felt I should have been informed of the change and lack of professional fine tree pruner, so I could decide myself what level of pruning I wanted for $100.00 per hour. I cannot recommend their service any longer. read more

Beware - unprofessional bullies. Treecology came to our 5-acre property and gave us a bid to work on about 15 trees adding up to over $7,000. We couldn't afford to do everything at once, so we asked them to just do the two trees that posed an immediate safety risk for about $1,000. Given that we used a competitor tree services company for many years, but wanted to give Treecology a try, we asked them to take $100 off the bid to match the other company's bid; if they did a good job, we'd hire them for additional work on the list when we had funds available. Their response to this was that they were "offended" and to never call them again. They clearly only want to work with customers that will accept their full bid at the full price. So unless you want to be bullied into paying extravagant fees or be spoken to in a rude and unprofessional way, look elsewhere. read more

Personable and professional. Had several bids, and Treecology was the most flexible (they also have a 2012 coupon for 10% off in the Chinook Book!). Very pleased with their service - they were punctual, fast, and thoroughly cleaned up behind them. Highly recommend them. read more

We've used Treecology twice now, and they're great. Damon, the owner, is a real tree expert, and takes the time to hear your concerns and give you all the info you need to make good decisions. We've got a massive elm spreading over the house, and a couple of years ago we thought it had dutch elm and were ready to take it down. Treecology took some samples to a lab and found out is was a low-grade, just cut out the dead-stuff problem. So we kept our tree. 2 years later, it dropped a good sized branch and we were ready to take it down again. Damon and his crew did a massive pruning job, but managed to maintain the overall shape and beauty of the tree. Both times, everyone else we talked to were ready to just cut it down for a ton of money, but Treecology took a much longer view. Also, all the arborists working for Treecology are real pros--they're certified, friendly, and see to really care about doing things right. What can I say? Hire them! read more

Fair, Fast, Considerate and very professional. We will definitely use Treecology, Inc. for all our future tree service needs

I can't say enough about the knowledge, skill and excellent customer service that Treecology provides. I hired them to bring my trees back into shape as I had neglected them for over a year. As aborists, their pricing was excellent as that was a major consideration for my decision. And when I came home to see their work, my yard was spotless, and my trees looked so much better. I inherited some poorly placed trees in regards to the house and Damon and his crew did an incredible job on making these tough situations look great. Plus he provided information for me to consider on the future growth of my trees as well as positive options to the situations I thought were hopeless. I will be rehiring them again. I highly recommend this company. read more

They pruned a VERY large red maple in front of my house and came in 40% under the next lowest bid. They actually did a substantially better job than I thought possible--the canopy is hugely raised, and my front yard no longer feels claustrophobic. And they left the yard looking cleaner than it was when they came. I can't recommend enthusiastically enough. read more

I had an excellent experience with Treecology. They were referred to me by someone at my work. I was able to schedule an appointment quickly, Damon was knowledgeable and efficient at explaining what needed to be done with our trees, and they showed up on time for service. And I got to watch dudes climbing trees!! Rad! They had a really hard time removing the tree we wanted to remove, because there was an old fence t-post embedded in the trunk (this thing had been limping along for decades, it was clear). Their equipment had a tough time getting through the metal of the t-post. But man, did they get it done. That thing was down to the ground! We may have to deal with sprouts from the stump, but it's gone, and we're thrilled. They went above and beyond for a very difficult task. read more

This company was a pleasure to work with. They were reliable, timely and their bid was good. They did not try to up sell me and did a very good job. I also had a positive experience with the front office. I would definitely use them again. read more

If Treecology is good enough for Portland's Japanese Garden, then it's good enough for me! But if that's not reason enough for you, then I'll tell you about my wonderful experience with one of the company's team members. Not only did Damon show up early, but he also saved me a ton of money! You see I recently bought a new home with several large trees on the property. I was sure most of them needed to be cut down. Instead of taking advantage of the situation, Damon assured me that the trees were fine and showed me how to make sure they stay that way. HERE'S THE BEST PART: After Damon left, I remembered that I had a Treecology coupon. I called Damon, and he voided my check without hesitation. I later received a bill and paid most of it with the coupon. Damon was friendly, funny, patient, ethical, and really knew his stuff. I'll definitely call Treecology again. read more
