    I live in Laurelhurst and have a beautiful, giant, but very old deodar cedar in my yard. We noticed recently that a section of it appeared to be dying, so we contacted various tree services about removing it. Urban Timber recommended … More that we attempt first to try to save it by using plant regulator injections into the root system. That was done in March of this year and by the end of April the tree had already had significant new growth and appears now to be on the road to a full recovery. My thanks to the team at Urban Timber. Great job!
  • Avatar T Wheeler ★★★★★ a week ago
    This company is great! Call them before you call anyone else! This company is very professional, efficient and overall just nice people. I had some questions, and some annoying repeat questions and they answered everything one, with professionalism. … More They came out to trim 6, 80-90 foot tall trees. They look amazing and they did what exactly what the recommended. Left my property clean and checked in before they left to make sure I was satisfied with the job. I'm very satisfied and they are rock stars for climbing those trees!

    Always happy with Urban Timber work. This time we’re to keep a pine tree alive and get rid of pine borers with their plant health care specialist.
  • Avatar Gary Heikkinen ★★★★★ a month ago
    Absolutely stellar work done by the whole crew. Everyone here on time. Worked like crazy all day until the job was done. Would highly recommend them to anyone with tree work needed.
  • Avatar Donald Gavitte ★★★★★ a month ago
    Jarek and his crew did an exceptional job! On time. Quick. Careful. Neat. Friendly. All this with a quote that was half of what someone else wanted to charge. Urban Timber should get your business.
  • Avatar Donald Carr ★★★★★ a month ago
    Really glad I went with Urban Timber Tree Service. I live on a heavily wooded lot and have had a lot of tree services out and Urban Timber was the only one to not suggest cutting them all down. They took the time to examine each tree and … More the risk they posed.I ended up doing two day rates with them and their crew was on time and very efficient. They also brought in very expensive high end machinery which helped getting more work done.Price wise, I felt like I got a good deal for the amount of work that got done. To put things into perspective, what I paid for 1 day was less than some quotes for removing just 1 tree from other companies.I would recommend Urban Timber to do any pruning and tree removal you may need.
