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.

From routine pruning to complex removals, emergency response to ISA arborist reports — our team handles every aspect of tree care with the expertise and professionalism your property deserves.

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.
