Our Expertise

Our team includes ISA Certified Arborists who have completed rigorous training and testing to ensure they understand proper tree care techniques. This certification requires ongoing education to stay current with the latest arboriculture advances and safety protocols.

We maintain all necessary insurance and bonding to protect your property during our work. Our crew members receive regular safety training and use industry-standard equipment and techniques.

Each of our professional arborists has extensive field experience, giving them the practical knowledge needed to assess tree health and structural issues accurately. We're proud members of several professional organizations that promote responsible tree care practices.

Advanced Tree Services

Elite Crew Tree Service offers specialized tree care that goes beyond basic pruning. We provide advanced solutions that maintain tree health, improve property safety, and enhance overall landscape aesthetics for properties throughout Philomath, which has seen steady population growth from just 224 residents in 1880 to over 5,350 today.

Crown Management

Crown management is essential for both tree health and property safety. We offer crown thinning services to reduce density in the canopy, allowing better light penetration and air flow. This technique helps prevent disease and storm damage. Crown shaping and reduction are perfect when you need to control a tree's size or improve its appearance. We carefully trim branches to maintain the tree's natural form while reducing its overall dimensions.

Our crown cleaning service removes dead, dying, and diseased branches from the canopy. This prevents potential hazards and improves the tree's vigor and appearance. The cost varies based on tree size and condition. We use specialized equipment and techniques to ensure minimal stress to your trees during all crown management procedures.

Stump and Root Services

After tree removal, stumps can be unsightly and problematic. Our stump grinding service quickly turns stumps into mulch at an affordable cost. Prices typically range from $100-$300 depending on stump size. For complete removal, we offer stump removal services that extract the entire stump and major root system. This option is ideal when you plan to build or plant in the same location. Root collar excavation helps diagnose and treat issues at the tree's base. We carefully expose the root flare to improve tree health and prevent decay.

Our root management services address problematic roots that damage sidewalks, foundations, or plumbing. We can selectively prune roots or install barriers to protect your property without harming the tree —an important consideration in Philomath's growing residential areas, where the population density has reached 2,464.5 inhabitants per square mile.

Tree Removal and Replacement

When removal becomes necessary, we handle trees of all sizes with precision and care. Our large tree removal service manages complex projects near buildings or power lines. You'll receive a detailed tree removal estimate before any work begins. Lot clearing services prepare your property for construction or landscaping by removing multiple trees and vegetation. We use efficient methods that minimize soil disturbance.

After removal, we recommend tree planting services to restore your landscape. We can suggest native species that thrive in Philomath's climate and soil conditions. For established trees, our tree transplanting service carefully relocates valuable specimens to new locations on your property. We ensure proper root protection and follow-up care for successful establishment and can advise on species well-suited to our local environment, located just west of Corvallis along U.S. Route 20.

Emergency and Specialty Services

Elite Crew Tree Service offers rapid response solutions when trees become hazardous in Philomath and surrounding areas. We combine specialized equipment with trained professionals to handle everything from fallen trees after storms to technical removals in challenging locations throughout our community, where the median household income is approximately $41,461.

Storm Damage Response

When severe weather strikes the Willamette Valley, our 24/7 emergency response team is ready. We understand that fallen trees and broken limbs require immediate attention, especially when they threaten structures or block access to your property. Our crew arrives quickly with all necessary equipment to safely remove damaged trees and clear debris.

We handle the complete storm damage cleanup process, from assessing hazards to removing broken branches and processing fallen trees. Our team works efficiently to prevent additional property damage while minimizing safety risks.

After cleanup, we can discuss preventative measures for your remaining trees to reduce future storm damage risks. All yard debris is properly disposed of, leaving your property clean and safe.

Support and Bracing

Not every damaged tree needs removal. Our professional tree cabling and bracing services can often save valuable trees with structural weaknesses. We install specialized hardware systems that provide support to split trunks, weak branch unions, and overextended limbs. Our arborists carefully assess each tree's condition to determine the appropriate support system. Using industry-standard cables, braces, and flexible support systems, we help distribute weight more evenly throughout the tree's structure.

Tree cabling installation requires technical expertise to avoid causing further damage. Our team positions support systems at optimal heights to reduce stress on vulnerable sections while allowing natural movement. These preventative measures can significantly extend the life of your trees and reduce hazard potential during storms that can impact our community, where 23.4% of households are individuals living alone and 5.9% are seniors over 65 living alone.

Technical Tree Removal

Some tree removals require specialized approaches due to location, condition, or surrounding structures. Our crane-assisted removal services safely manage trees that can't be felled using conventional methods. This approach is particularly valuable for trees near buildings, power lines, or in confined spaces. We employ advanced tree cutting machines and rigging techniques for precision removals. Each job begins with a thorough hazard assessment to identify the safest removal strategy.

Our experienced climbers can dismantle trees in sections when necessary, controlling the descent of each piece. Tree hazard mitigation is our priority during technical removals. We carefully plan each cut to prevent property damage and ensure worker safety. For extremely challenging situations, we bring in specialized equipment including cranes that can reach over structures to access problem trees.
