Joe Grab Landscape & Tree Service

They do amazing work!!! The crew seems like they love what they do and are very good at it!!! Best tree service in portland

Excellent company. They have been doing work for us for years doing tree pruning, and removal of trees and stumps. We have never been disappointed and we highly recommended them. Thank you Joe Grab Landscape & Tree Service! You’re the best!

He tried.

I found these guys on Craigslist while I was looking for an affordable way to encourage my neighbor to actually remove the tree he had been promising to remove for the last 3 years ;-) Being Craigslist my hopes were set accordingly low but their CCB record checked out clean and they had been licensed since 2007 so I arranged for them to come give an estimate. I was very happy with the professionalism of their estimator and also the estimate was extremely competitive. My neighbor and I split the cost which made the process a little tricky but their receptionist/​secretary took it all in her stride and was incredibly easy to work with. They got the job done in half a day and were courteous and professional at all times. I would definitely use them again. A+

Great work by Joe and his crew! I had a very large cherry tree removed from my front yard last weekend and they did a excellent job at removing it and grinding the stump. I recieved estimates from 5 other companies and Joe came in $ 125 to $ 775 LESS than the others. I also asked to have some of the stumps cut to be «seat level» to use as seats around a fire pit and they cut me multiple perfect heights. I would definitely recommend and will call again if I need any other services.

My parent’s needed a very large tree cut down so I went onto Craigslist to find them someone who would not charge them an arm and a leg. I found 2 companies. My mom made an appraisal appointment with the first, and told them she’d use their services — but after Joe Grab came out to do an appraisal, she changed her mind. She said she just had a better feeling about him. A month later, their huge cottonwood tree was gone and Joe Grab’s men had come out twice to dig out and remove the ginormous stump. She was thrilled with the price and their service.
Now it was my turn. I needed a large tree (that hangs over my yard) trimmed back and finally thought to do it because Joe Grab came so highly recommended by my parents.
Joe Grab’s 3 tree trimmers just left my house… and took with them numerous branches that were blocking any sunlight from hitting my back deck. For $ 300, I was finally going to be able to get sunshine for me and my plants!
I took a vacation day, to be here when they worked on the tree, because Joe really wanted me to be happy and did not want his guys taking too little or too much off the tree.
I probably would have taken a little more off the canopy that covers my yard, but a renter in the apartments behind me started yelling at us (from her balcony) for taking all her «Natural air-​conditioning». I get that, and I want to be sensitive to that, so I didn’t have them cut quite as much as I’d have liked. The tree climber explained to the gal «The law allows her to cut what is above her property line» but she was fit-​to-​be-​tied. Mostly, I think it’s a privacy thing for her. Again, I get that, I want privacy too. But 13 years ago; 12.5 years before she moved in, I had a deck built and got sunshine for 4 – 5 hours a day. My plants thrived. Now, the maple tree has grown so large, it covers my entire yard, shading the whole thing and does not allow for any plants or vegetation to grow. Or for me to get a tan.
All that said, I will probably hire them back next year, to take off the final top canopy that hovers over the deck. Hopefully that renter has moved on (no pun intended) by then. For now though, I think they’ve given me a few more hours of sunshine a day back there.
Not only were they on time, by the minute, but they worked fast and efficiently. They also completely took away all the branches and debris (chipped it in their machine) and cleaned up my yard, as though they were never there.
These guys now come highly recommended by 2 generations of my family.

After reading the excellent Unilocal reviews here for Joe Grab, I thought I’d found the perfect people to help me with my overgrown yard situation. We had 4 large Catalpa trees, a mutant arbor vitae, and several neglected shrubs that needed to go. I made an appointment for Joe to come by midweek at 0930. At 0950, no one had showed up nor called, so I left a message at the office. Later that morning, I arranged to have Joe come out a few days later and give me a drive-​by emailed quote since I was heading out of town. Over a month later, still no quote from Joe!

UPDATE 11÷30÷13
So even after being pleased with the level of professionalism from Joe Grab and the quality of work. Joe went above and beyond my expectations to make sure that we were able to complete our tree cutting and wood splitting project on schedule and within our budget. On two separate occasions Joe came over to help us with issues we had. My opinion has completely turned around on this business and I would absolutely use them again and will refer family and friends here without question. This is a small business that works hard to earn your money and trust.

Joe and crew removed 3– 70′ Doug fir trees from my property. 2 of which were less than 5′ from the eves of my house. All brought down with absolute precision. I highly recommend joe grab for any tree work you may have. Price was fair, and service excellent! Thanks joe!

We had these guys come out yesterday and top off 3 gigantic Maple trees and some lower limbs on our Douglas firs!
They are great! Not one complaint! They worked fast and efficiently and were very nice and very very well priced!
Will definitely call on them again for more of our tree needs!
Thank you Joe & helper!!!
