Tree Removal in Camas, WA
Camas is built into the forest rather than beside it. Prune Hill, Lacamas Shores, and Forest Home were carved out of thick second-growth fir, and the trees that stayed are now sixty to a hundred feet of timber standing on a slope, ten feet from somebody's deck. That is a beautiful place to live and a genuinely difficult place to take a tree down, which is most of why we get called here.
The other reason is the wind. Camas sits at the mouth of the Columbia Gorge, and the east wind funnels straight out of it. A fir that has been fine for thirty years can go over in one December night, and the ones that worry us most are the trees that got exposed when a neighbor built or cleared. We would much rather take a hazardous tree down on a calm Tuesday with a plan than pull it off your roof at midnight.
On these lots there is usually no drop zone at all. We climb and dismantle in sections, rigging every piece down on ropes so nothing free-falls toward the house, the deck, or the slope below it. Where a tree is too big, too dead, or too boxed in for that, we bring a crane and lift the sections up and over the roofline instead. Stephen will tell you which your tree needs, and will tell you when a crane is not worth the money.

Tree Removal in Camas, WA: FAQ
Can you remove a tree on a steep Camas lot with no room to drop it?
That is the normal job here rather than the unusual one. We dismantle from the top down in sections, rigging each piece to a controlled landing instead of dropping it. On the steepest and most boxed-in lots we use a crane to lift sections clear of the property entirely, which is often faster and always easier on your landscaping.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Camas, WA?
Camas has its own tree code and it is stricter than some neighboring jurisdictions, particularly near critical areas and on slopes. Requirements turn on where the tree is and how big it is. Give us the address and we will tell you what is likely needed, and provide an arborist report if the city wants one.
A neighbor cleared their lot and now my firs look exposed. Should I worry?
It is worth an assessment, yes. Trees that grew inside a stand rely on their neighbors for shelter and never developed the taper to stand alone. Losing that shelter is one of the more common reasons a healthy-looking Camas fir fails in an east wind. We can look at what you have left and tell you which trees are now carrying load they were never built for.
Do you handle removals near Lacamas Lake and the ravines?
Yes. Steep ground, ravine edges, and limited access are routine for our crew. What we will also do is tell you honestly if a tree near a critical area needs permitting before anybody touches it, rather than cutting first and sorting it out later.
