EXCELLENT Based on 101 reviews Posted on Victoria MunseyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Affordable, friendly and timely. Would recommend.Posted on Scott CliffTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely amazing service! The crew members were all friendly, efficient, and astoundingly competent in removing two large, dying trees from our small backyard. No drama, no damage, just a job well done--and at nearly half the price some companies were quoting! They were in and out in 2.5 hours and cleaned up after themselves so well it was like they had never been here. I cannot say enough good about them. Thanks guys!Posted on Wayne RacetteTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great job & all cleaned up!Posted on Charles DekumTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Assessment of my pruning request was professionally handled by Kevin, excellent proposal drafted and amendments as requested. Delivered as promised and very precise. Upon arrival the entire crew was diligent and focused. Extremely clean areas after trimming my fruit trees for productivity. Knowledgeable arborist with great skills and safety minded. Competently answered all questions about pruning methods. My "Go To " arborists for any future needs. I explained what I wanted, they told me what they were going to do, did it, leaving my driveway and yard in much better shape than when they arrived. My hats off to Connie and Meredith, wonderful customer service, and telephone care. Answered all my questions perfectly and provided the confidence that professionals do. I felt supported and understood at the end of our dialog, and text follow ups.

ABOUT GROVE TREE CARE
A Family-Owned Tree Company Rooted in the South Metro
Grove Tree Care isn’t a franchise. We’re a locally owned, family-operated company based in Aurora, Oregon — right in the heart of the communities we serve. When you call us, you’re talking to the people who will actually show up and do the work. No call centers, no subcontractors, no surprises.
Our team of ISA-certified arborists brings science-based expertise to every job — from complex removals on steep West Linn hillsides to Heritage Tree assessments in Wilsonville, permit applications in Tualatin, and emergency response after winter storms. We know the trees, the terrain, and the tree codes of every city in our service area.
We also give back. On every job, we donate a tree planting in the Oregon National Forest on your behalf — because the health of the Pacific Northwest’s forests matters to us as much as the health of the trees in your yard.

WHY CHOOSE US
What Sets Grove Tree Care Apart
There’s no shortage of tree companies in the Portland metro. Here’s what actually makes us different — and why it matters for your property.
ISA-Certified Arborists on Every Job
Having a license to cut trees and having ISA certification are very different things. Our certified arborists bring genuine expertise to every assessment, recommendation, and project. You get honest advice — not upsells.
We Know Every City's Tree Code
West Linn’s Community Tree Ordinance. Wilsonville’s SROZ. Tualatin’s permit process. Oregon City’s regulations. We know them all — and we handle permit applications so you don’t have to figure it out yourself.
Locally Owned — No Franchise Overhead
We’re not a franchise. No call center, no subcontractors, no brand fee baked into your quote. Just a local family business accountable to the communities we serve.
We Never Top Trees
Topping is prohibited in multiple cities we serve — and it destroys trees structurally. We follow ANSI A300 standards on every pruning job, full stop. If another company recommends topping, walk away.
Transparent Pricing — No Surprises
Free estimates, clear scope, written quotes before any work begins. Senior and military discounts available. No-cost financing for larger projects.
We Give Back to Oregon's Forests
On every job, we donate a tree planting in the Oregon National Forest on your behalf. Because sustainable tree care starts with what we put back.
