About

Trees Are One of Us

They live with us. They grow with us. They provide shelter, shade, oxygen, and occasionally a good climb. They become part of the family and part of the community. Portland, Oregon, has no shortage of trees. We’re here to make sure they get the care they deserve.

Tree Care is Both an Art and a Science

Tree care and maintenance (known as arboriculture) is both an art and a science. The team at Buds Expert Tree Care has been applying their skills and design to the trees of Portland and beyond since 2002. A careful eye, a veteran hand, and arboricultural correct methods increase both the vitality and aesthetics.
