Samsara really went above and beyond to help us following the recent severe storm. Two large pines fell across our driveway entrance, completely blocking access and egress. This happened on a Saturday afternoon, and Samsara was out there beginning removal Saturday evening with floodlights. They brought back a large crew and heavy equipment Monday morning to complete cutting up, chipping and removing the large trunks and limbs, in the midst of really bad weather. We found them to be uniformly hard working, courteous and communicative - easy to deal with and generally good guys. We are having them come back to remove a very large cedar tree in the near future, and highly recommend them.

Samsara does great work and is staffed by folks who are a pleasure to have around. They performed a herculean feat of blackberry removal in our backyard, trimmed a rag-tag collection of trees throughout our property and gave us excellent advice about how to keep our trees happy and healthy in the future. Couldn't recommend them more highly

These guys are so great. Fair pricing, super professional, prompt in communicating, and proactive. We live in the middle of a suburban forest, surrounded by giant firs, and we have had a great experience having samsara support us with maintenance, tree removal and advice. I'll continue using them for all our tree upkeep.

Highly recommend this firm without reservation based on our recent experience with emergency tree removal. When we received word from tenants on a Sunday afternoon that a large fir tree in the backyard was on its way down and had lodged precariously in the limbs of another tree in its path of falling on a neighbor's house, Samsara was the sole business among a half dozen calls we made to tree care professionals listed as 24/7 that responded to our call in person that day and committed to coming the next day to quote and remove the tree. We'd never heard of Samsara Tree Care until their name showed up in our internet search, but found they communicated well; arrived on time; explained what needed to be done to bring the approx. 75' tall tree down safely; offered a reasonable quote for the project; and completed the work on time and without incident; and their site cleanup was superb. What more could anyone ask . . . it was a huge relief to us that none of the parties involved (three residential lots/neighbors/tenants) incurred any personal or property damage as a result of Samsara's swift, expert response. P. S. As it turned out, on Monday morning we received a callback from another company responding to our voicemail left on Sunday. They were interested in quoting the project as well, although we'd informed them we had engaged another contractor; their quote proved 40% higher than Samsara's.

Samsara hits the triple crown of easy to work with, fair prices and high-quality work. They’ve helped us with everything from emergency tree care after an ice storm (they rushed right out to us) to the removal of a huge elm that got Dutch Elm Disease (R.I.P.) Professional, knowledgeable and personable at every turn.

Great experience with this company. They trimmed and removed multiple trees for us and couldn’t be more impressed with their services. Would recommend them for any tree pruning or removal services!

Jacob was quick to respond and setup up our initial appointment. My wife and I were impressed with him after the first visit. When he sent us the quote we thought it was very reasonable for the amount of work that needed to be done. We had at least 15+ stumps removed plus many trees around the property. He offered to help us remove a bunch of excess dirt/debris that was left from when we bought the house (15,000 pounds worth of junk/dirt from the previous owners). On our first visit Jacob offered to do this work for us and he went the extra mile in not only that but in helping us remove portions of our neighbors fences for tree/stump removal. His team did a great job and we're really happy with how they did the job. He was very fair in pricing when we got our final invoice and we are so grateful we worked with him and his team.

Due to a late winter snowstorm, I had a large two-trunk cypress tree that failed, causing one half of the tree to come down onto my patio and atop my house. I called Samsara and was connected with Jacob -- he responded immediately, evaluated the situation next day, provided an estimate within hours, and then was on site within two days to complete the removal. Top notch service from beginning to end and it was absolutely seamless. I couldn't be happier with Jacob and his team -- I will be recommending them to anyone in the Portland/ Vancouver area who needs an arborist.

What safety measures do you take during tree removal?

Samara’s professional tree specialists take several safety measures during tree removal to ensure the safety of ourselves, our team, and the surrounding property.

Here are some common practices:
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):

  • Hearing Protection: Earplugs or earmuffs to protect against noise from chainsaws and other equipment.
  • Gloves: To protect hands from cuts and blisters.
  • Protective Clothing: Cut-resistant pants or chaps to protect legs from chainsaw accidents.
  • Steel-toed Boots: To protect feet from falling objects and provide good traction.

Site Assessment:

  • Identify Hazards: Evaluate the tree for structural weaknesses, dead branches, or disease.
  • Assess Surroundings: Check for nearby power lines, buildings, vehicles, and other obstacles.
  • Plan Escape Routes: Establish clear escape paths in case the tree falls unexpectedly.

Use of Proper Equipment:

  • Chainsaws: Regularly maintained and properly sized for the job.
  • Ropes and Harnesses: For climbing and securing sections of the tree during removal.
  • Rigging Gear: Blocks, pulleys, and slings to control the lowering of tree sections.
  • Cranes and Aerial Lifts: For accessing and safely removing large or difficult-to-reach trees.

Safe Cutting Techniques:

  • Notching and Back Cutting: Properly executed to control the direction of the tree’s fall.
  • Sectional Removal: Cutting the tree down in sections, especially in confined spaces.
  • Directional Felling: Using ropes and wedges to ensure the tree falls in the intended direction.

Team Communication:

  • Clear Signals: Established hand signals or radios for communication between team members.
  • Assigned Roles: Each team member knows their responsibilities during the removal process.
  • Lookout Person: A designated person to keep an eye on the surroundings and alert the team to any changes or hazards.

Weather Considerations:

  • Avoiding Extreme Conditions: Tree removal is typically avoided during high winds, heavy rain, or lightning.
  • Monitoring Weather: Keeping an eye on weather forecasts and adjusting plans as needed.

Environmental Precautions:

  • Protecting Wildlife: Checking for nests or wildlife habitats in the tree before removal.
  • Minimizing Tree Felling Damage: Taking care to protect surrounding plants, lawns, and structures.

By adhering to these safety measures, professional tree specialists can effectively minimize the risks associated with tree removal.

Reviews about Samsara's tree removal services by Damen K., and Esther W. 
Damen writes, "Awesome service! After scheduling to come and look at a tree I wanted removed they came and gave me a couple options, explaining everything well and a very reasonable quote. They were done very quickly and left no mess. I recommended them to a neighbor and they gave them an honest assessment without being pushy."

Esther wrote, "I had two tress that needed to be removed. Their quote was fair & fast, did the work of obtaining a permit, and were super responsive to emails.  The tree removal was done efficiently, they cleaned everything up & they fulfilled my request of leaving some wood for firewood.  Would definitely hire Samsara again!"
