Two huge limbs of our maple trees came down during the recent windstorm, and we were on the search for a crew who could cut down the limbs which were nearing close to the power lines in order to make sure that we and our neighbors were safe. I called 4 different tree services, which had a wide range of prices, everything from $875 to $1500! The $1500 price had said they'd have to hire a crew of 3 people and would be at our house all day. Yikes! We didn't hire them. Then, I contacted Larry at Treehappy by email. Because we didn't hear from him for 3 days, he apologized for the late response, saying that he usually responds better to voicemails, but how could I know that? he reasoned. I appreciated his apology, and his warmth, directness, and his willingness to reach out. During his free inspection, he offered the lowest fee (not knowing the other estimates), and also discussed with great wisdom, what might need to happen in years to come (to take down the tree as it was mostly dead), as well as the city permit we would need to get, as these were city trees. He assured us that it would be finished within a few hours, and it was! They also cleaned up all the debris, including debris that they did not cut down! We hired him on the spot! I liked that he worked with us within our price range, that his crew was incredibly efficient, and also responsible; one of the guys accidentally trimmed 1 extra limb and offered us money for it! Of course, we didn't take it, but his and Treehappy's level of accountability was extraordinary! We couldn't be happier! I see why Treehappy has its name! We are so happy, and you can bet that we'll be calling them again when that tree needs to come down! If you want a warm and friendly, responsive, efficient, and affordable tree service, look no further! Larry and his crew at Treehappy are IT!!! Tips: If it's a city tree, you need to get a permit. You can get one on the city's website: https://www.portlandoregon.gov/trees/ We paid with a check. Whenever you hire a tree service, they should clean up after themselves, and Treehappy will! It's best to call rather than use their online form. ;) read more

1 - great bid 2 - arrived to work on time 3 - very careful work with great attention to aesthetics of result and safety for workers and structures. 4 - complete cleanup 5 - did work in addition to bid at a most reasonable fee I would have not one problem referring friends and family to Treehappy! read more

TreeHappy is awesome. They took out a pine tree, a juniper bush (hate those things) and a Hawthorne bush/tree/pain in my butt prickly thang. I'm being lame by copy/pasting much from a former review but it's all true: 1 - great price 2 - arrived to work on time 3 - very careful work with great attention to aesthetics of result and safety for workers and structures. 4 - complete cleanup 5. -fast! Perfect experience from start to finish. Larry/TreeHappy is tops! read more

Treehappy is the bomb. Larry was really nice and spent his Sunday by himself grinding out a pain in the ass Tree of Heaven stump I had in my backyard, which remained from the aforementioned tree I had removed. The quote he gave was cheaper than the other guys, and he certainly didn't skimp on the job. Larry spent the better part of that day, grinding the son of a bitch down and then I helped him remove some of my back fence that was interfering so that he could make sure he got as much of it as he could. Super nice guy, and above and beyond kind of work. Larry also offered me free advice on how to care for a few of the other trees I had on my property while he was loading up. Thumbs way up!! read more

I got quotes from several different companies and Tree Happy not only had the lowest quote, but they were also the friendliest and got the job done on a gigantic Holly tree in my back yard and they stacked the firewood for me! Super clean, friendly and efficient. I would definitely recommend this company! read more

Having Larry and his team work on the trees of our new home was great. I can confirm what many others have said: Larry is responsive, punctual, and professional. The TreeHappy team were on time, worked on 5 trees and several shrubs on schedule, and charged exactly as was bid. They did not leave a branch or leaf behind. Moreover, Larry was helpful and courteous to our new neighbors who were concerned about a limb (from our tree) that went over their roof, and helped reach an agreement to split the cost to remove it. I'm very happy with Larry's work and wholeheartily recommend him. read more

Larry was an absolute pleasure to work with! I had multiple trees needing to be removed, and some additional stumps and a nasty blackberry patch. He gave me a much lower quote than some other local companies and was able to get me on his calendar in a short amount of time. His team was thorough and very personable. They worked in some terrible rain, but stuck around to make sure everything was completely cleaned up in my yard and the street. Chuck was a pro in taking down my trees with no impact on our shed or neighbors property. I will definitely be calling on TreeHappy again. read more

I agree that Larry and his crew are the best. We had a large tree removal, tree trimming and a huge holly tree reshaped and they did an excellent job. We got three bids and Larry was the most competitive in price as well. Most importantly he's a great guy and his crew is very pleasant. They work hard and as other reviewers have said, their cleanup is incredible. One thing to keep in mind is that he is so busy now and so it might take a few days for him to return your call, but trust me, its worth the wait! A great company. We would definitely use again. read more

Every once in awhile you run into a company that has integrity and does what they say they will do at price they quote. Tree Happy is that company. They were fast yet accurate in trimming our Sitka Spruce . What a great group we had. Thank you Larry, Jason and Chuck You can bet I will be recommending you to anyone who asks. Contact them you will not regret it read more

If you have trees in your yard, it's simple: Use Tree Happy. You will not regret it. They just finished up at our house, and we can't believe how they've transformed our trees (more than a dozen, many of them large cedars). The remaining trees look so much better and healthier, the two (big!) trees we had to remove for health/safety reasons came down quickly and safely in a tight space, our home's curb appeal is instantly improved, and the house is so much lighter and brighter inside. Larry is a genuinely nice guy, and his crew was fast, courteous and a lot of fun to chat with. Tree Happy's very competitively priced, and basically just a bunch of good guys. read more

If you are needing any kind of services related to trees on your property, call Larry. I called Treehappy to get an estimate after I saw everyone's positive stories and enthusiastic reviews. Larry returned my call a few days later, and since it wasn't as quick of a response as he would have liked to provide, he offered to come check out the trees I needed to have trimmed that very afternoon. Realizing what day it was, he added, "Is that crazy? It's Saturday." I laughed and said no problem, head on over. A half hour later, I was outlining what I thought needed to be done, he agreed, gave me some feedback, advice on keeping my yard and trees healthy, wrote up a bid, and was on his way. His bid was extremely competitive and before he'd even pulled away from my house, I was ready to hire him for the job. I called him back a few days later, and left a message. I knew from reviews that Larry has a small, quality operation, and gets really busy, so sometimes he isn't able to return calls as quickly as he'd like. My project wasn't urgent, so I didn't worry about it. When Larry did call me back, he was sincerely sorry for the delay. We figured out a day he'd be in my neighborhood for another job and I asked if I could get the mulch they made out of my branches. He said that wasn't a problem. Today, Larry and his team came out. The three of them were extremely nice, professional, and knowledgeable. They gave me a ton of mulch, joked with me while I raked it out and they trimmed up the tree. When they were done, they thoroughly cleaned up the area, including some smaller branches I'd trimmed myself and piled against the fence. They cut some larger branches into firewood and stacked it in small, neat pile for me. I don't think I'll be looking up another tree service any time soon. These guys are the best. read more

I can't say enough good things about Larry and Treehappy. These guys are pros. They come when they say, do as they say, give fair estimates of time and cost, get the work done and CLEAN UP so well your yard will never look better. They have done work for us twice and we would hire them again in a second. They have removed trees, ground stumps and pruned. They removed sections of fence so they could access our trees and put them back nicer than how they found it. All the work was super. I would give 6 stars but that isn't an option. read more

We recently had Larry and Treehappy out to plant our new trees and again, I could not be happier with the experience. Larry spent time going over the new tree options with me, recommending some really lovely ones and taking the time to find just the right fit. They thoroughly leveled the yard, planted and staked two beautiful Eddie's White Wonder dogwoods, created PERFECT mulch circles, and scattered grass seed. It has improved the look of our house 110%. I don't feel like the scraggly neighbor anymore! read more

A recent wind storm took out half a tree in our backyard. I called a few places for quotes to take it out (not an urgent removal) and Larry at Treehappy was the most accommodating and truly the friendliest. He wasn't even the cheapest (but still competitive). Larry and his small crew worked hard to remove our tree and the stump. They went above and beyond when they were done to make our yard look better than it did before the tree fell. Highly recommend these guys! read more

I cannot recommend Larry and Treehappy more. Larry gave a very competitive bid and trimmed two large maples, removed two trees as well as a row of arborvitae. He is a very sweet guy to deal with ... honest and thoroughly explains his work. His team is professional and efficient. After he left, all our neighbors came over to ooh and ahh ... thank you Larry! I will definitely use Treehappy in the future. read more

We got quotes from several companies and Larry saved us a few hundred dollars over the other companies we contacted. Super nice guy, the two guys there working were also great. It was a pretty big job taking out 2 large trees, 3 stumps, ground cover and a couple smaller trees. I figured it would take more than a day. In just 6.5 hours the crew had done the entire job, along with a stellar clean up job. I would highly recommend calling / emailing Larry for great tree service. read more

Larry at Treehappy is awesome! He was quick to respond, gave me a bid, did the work, I was charged the same amount as the bid and he cleaned up after himself! I know it sounds really simple. But in the world of contractors these are things that are really hard to come by. Larry is honest and reliable. I don't need trees cut down every day, but the next time I do I know who to call! read more

Larry is the nicest guy ever. He and his crew did a great job trimming our tree. Reasonably priced, and cleaned up our whole front yard when they were done. Stop reading Yelp reviews and hire Larry right now. read more

Larry and his crew did an excellent job removing a large willow tree and trimming several large street trees for us. They were professional in their work, polite to the neighbors, and very personable with us, and they cleaned up each day without fail. The cost was reasonable and the work was complete when promised. Would definitely hire them again... read more

Larry and his team did a great job removing a tree in front of our house. They were transparent with their estimate, made quick work of the tree, and were courteous of our neighbors in the process. They were an easy bunch to work/communicate with and we will definitely look to them in the future for any tree removal/pruning services. read more

After having a tree removed that was interfering with a jumble of overhead utility lines I can certainly add my 5 star rating to the list. Larry and his friendly crew took down the tree in less than 1 1/2 hours and left the chipper pile as I requested. As previously reported, the cleanup was exceptional. Since the tree was close to the street right-of -way, Larry put me in touch with a colleague who steered me in the right direction at the City of Portland Forester's office. Questions were resolved promptly and the job got done shortly thereafter. I applaud Larry's attention to safety on the job. The entire crew followed best practices with protective gear in place. Hats off for a job well and safely done ! read more

I was very happy with Larry and his team's work. They were friendly, efficient, and affordable. I would recommend Tree Happy to anyone, and would also use them again the next time I need tree trimming or removal. read more

Larry came out and gave me a fair estimate to remove a tree and it's roots that uplifted a sidewalk in front of my house. While he was there he even took care of an old stump in the back yard. A few months later he just happened to be driving by my house and noticed that a few twigs had sprouted from where the original tree had been removed and pulled over to do a little follow-up maintenance without me even asking. That's what I call great service! Thanks again Larry. read more

All these great reviews, I was surprised. I left 2 messages on Larry's phone looking for an estimate. Over a week later, I am still waiting.. read more

Larry and his crew are terrific! They arrived early to prep the work and were very professional, friendly and asked me for my input related to some of the pruning on our larger trees! They also did some extra work at no extra charge! Finally, I'm OCD about clean up and this team really knows how to leave a job site in a better condition than before they arrived! I highly recommend this business - well done - exceeded my expectations! read more

Initially, Larry came to give me an estimate right away. I called him back a week later leaving a message to make an appointment. We had a little trouble getting in touch ( he's very busy) but finally set a date. He and his assistant arrived promptly and set to work immediately. They were very thorough and careful of the surrounding landscaping. Their professionalism was outstanding and the flowering plum looks so much better and hopefully healthier too. As others have pointed out, they cleaned up thoroughly and were very aware of the aesthetics as they progressed. I couldn't have found a better team to beautify my tree. I would recommend Treehappy with no hesitation. read more

I hired Treehappy to remove several old gnarly Camellias from my front yard. I was impressed with them from the start: they called me back within an hour of me leaving a message, came over to do a free estimate within a couple of days, and then scheduled to do the work within the week. The cost was totally reasonable, they were friendly and professional, and they did a great job. They cut the stumps so low that they're covered by the mulch (I didn't get stump-grinding done), and they cleaned up the yard really well when they were done. I would absolutely recommend Treehappy. read more

Larry is a straight shooter. I had gotten a bunch of other estimates where the arborists tried to convince me that the 2 other birch trees needed to be cut down instead of just the one lone withering one, and then tried to add on prices above the quote "oh you want us to grind the stump too? and you want firewood?" Larry showed up, gave me one quote for the one tree, and assured me that it included cutting it down, grinding down the stump, cutting the tree up for firewood and leaving a gigantic pile of woodchips. He was clear and didn't try to hard sell me. He and his crew did a good job, blew off all the wood shavings from my garage and sidewalk, and even helped me stack the firewood. After the job was done, Larry advised me on treating the other trees instead of trying to convince me to take them down. There was a bit of an issue with scheduling: he asked if he could switch days last minute and had to come back to finish the job, but I think a lot of it was that he had a really bad head cold. Plus, I've discovered that time is not of the essence in Portland so I try not to be too put out. He was communicative and responsive and did a good job. I wasn't pressed for time, so it wasn't a big deal for me. read more

I was extremely happy with the service I received from Larry at Tree Happy. I needed a tree removed from my back yard that was close to my house and my neighbor's yard and had very tight access from the side yard. Larry came out and took a look, was patient with all my questions and seemed very knowledgeable. I had just built a really nice deck in the side yard and he noticed that they would need to roll the stump grinder over it. So he made sure to explain how his crew would build ramps and lay down protection. Perfect!. The crew came out and was extremely professional, quick and cleaned up the mess. I was amazed that they were able to get everything out with leaving a mess over mine and the neighbor yards. He even rented a smaller stump grinder (without charging em extra!) to make sure they didn't damage the deck. They also trimmed up some trees in the front yard and left some bark mulch and firewood for me that I had requested. I now recommend this company to everyone I know that needs tree service. Everyone other company I called was way higher in price and did not seem to have anywhere near the level of customer service. Very glad I went with Larry and I will probably be a customer for life. Note: I'm sure he's very busy with business given the quality of their work, so I would say be patient if you don't hear back. You'll be glad you did. read more

Really great service. We had a huge, awkward maple to remove and they performed the really complicated service and stuck to their quoted price. I would use them again. read more

Very happy with Larry and crew. We had a tree limb removed that was leaning on our garage. When Larry arrived to cut it down, he realized that he needed to remove a lot more than he had first realized when he gave the quote. Nonetheless, he stuck to the price. He and his crew were all very friendly and seem to really enjoy what they do. Larry was happy to explain any aspect of the work I had a question about. I am a pretty tough customer but this is one of those rare cases where I will be calling this company again in the future with zero hesitation. read more

I used Larry and his crew about two weeks ago to trim some trees in my yard. I was very happy with their work. They were busy and had to reschedule me twice, once because the chipper broke down in a previous job, but when they got to me, it was all business and professional. I especially like that the workers were all friendly and willing to talk with me about any concerns I had. They worked fast and efficiently. This particular day it rained too but that didn't detract them from doing a fabulous job. Price-wise, they were very competitive. I can't say enough good things about Larry and his company.. read more

Larry and his team did a great job removing multiple, HUGE big leaf maples from our property. The estimate was very fair and was the exact bill when the job was finished. The best part was how clean everything was when complete... You couldn't even tell that they had been there. We will be using Tree Happy again next time when we have additional projects. read more

Long overdue review. Larry came out, on time with his crew to do some pruning and remove a tree and the stump. His estimate was very reasonable, middle of the road. They did an excellent job from getting every last bit of stump out, which is not always the case, to clean-up. Will definitely use this crew again. Very pleasant and professional as well. read more

Completely unprofessional and lacking basic courtesy. I contacted Treehappy over Labor Day weekend and left a message saying I was interested in getting an estimate and was hoping to meet with someone on Friday, my day off. Larry called me back on the following Tuesday and left a message saying Friday was wide open and would be great, any time after 9:00am. I called the next day and left a message suggesting 9:30am and asked for a call back to confirm. I never got a call back to confirm. I tried calling twice more in the next couple of days and left detailed messages each time and still no return call to confirm the Friday morning appointment. I still went to the rental house on Friday morning just in case Larry showed up, but he did not. Larry finally called me around noon that Friday and we were able to talk in person. He apologized for not getting back to me and offered to meet me the following Friday at the same time. Said he was "willing to put it behind us" if I was. Yes, I'm willing to give someone another shot. So the following Friday I showed up at 9:20am and waited until 9:55 and there was no Larry, no phone call, no message. I tried calling him several times that morning and left messages. No response. Ever. I was floored. I have never had a contractor be so completely unprofessional. Unheard of in a small business that I'm sure depends heavily on referrals. read more

Larry's company was referred to me by a friend who had her laurel bushes cut and the stumps ground. She told me he did it for a good price. When I initially called and left a message, I didn't get a call back (I've had plenty of good work done by small companies that take a second call to get through). I called the next day, and he called back. We set up a date and time of his choosing for Larry to come out and give a quote. On the agreed upon day, 10 minutes after he was suppose to show up I called, his cell phone was off and went directly to voicemail. I left a message. I called again after he was 40 minutes late, and again left a message. Larry did not call back that day, and he never actually bothered to call back at all. Maybe he does good work, but he wasted my time and was unprofessional in not showing up and not bothering to call back. I'd say if you have a lot of time on your hands and want to take the chance on him not showing up, go with his company. If you have a job that needs to get done and your time is valuable, I'd recommend skipping this company, not wasting your time, and going with someone else from the get go. read more
