★★★★★"Timber Stand came out and took care of this massive ponderosa that was leaning over our house. They made quick work of this tree and placed the rounds exactly where I needed them. The tree damaged our lawn and sprinkler system when it came down but Nate personally made things right and reimbursed me for the repairs. Would recommend for any large tree removal."
— Landen B.
★★★★★"Nate and his team are the most competent, reliable, arborists I've worked with in my 20 years in Bend. Tree work is serious business. Nate has years of experience. He was extremely responsive, addressed all my questions and finished the job ahead of schedule. Super friendly, mellow and professional. His bid was very fair. He is my go to arborist in Deschutes County."
— Erinn K., Bend
★★★★★"Today's work was seriously top notch. Everything was on time, thorough, and everyone was so kind! We truly felt like everyone treated the space and cleanup like it was their own home - which means so so much to us!"
— Rachel, Sisters, OR
★★★★★"The TSI team was great! They turned my 75 year old juniper into a beautiful wildlife tree- even with a notch for a birds nest. They were professional, polite and very safety conscious."
— Deb B.
★★★★★"Nate works magic behind the scenes, and he has an amazing team! From the initial assessment of my property's Firewise concerns through planning and implementation, communication was excellent, and the work was completed efficiently and on schedule. Matt and the crew were responsive and attentive throughout the day, making sure every detail was addressed—including stump grinding and thorough final cleanup.

Of the many trees removed, two required exceptional skill and precision: a large, old, diseased willow with live branches falling onto neighboring property, and a massive, leaning Ponderosa Pine with a split crown. The team also used modern equipment and efficient techniques to expertly prune several enormous Ponderosa Pines and Junipers surrounding my house, including branches extending over the roof, following Firewise best practices.
Thanks to the entire Timber Stand Improvement team, my property looks fantastic and is better prepared for wildfire season! I highly recommend Nate, Matt, and their crew for their professionalism, expertise, outstanding communication, and quality of work."
★★★★★"Nate and his crew were amazing from start to finish. I appreciated the time taken during the consultation where we were encouraged to keep several trees and only remove what was necessary. Their skill was obvious - these are professionals. The trees were taken down the right way with water lines and property in mind. The very respectful crew of 6 got the large job done by early afternoon while still literally picking up twigs by hand off the grass. They came highly recommended by a neighbor and I will recommend them to anyone I can. We have used multiple arborists in the past and this was by far the best experience we have had."

For 8+ years, Timber Stand Improvement has handled the tree work most companies turn down: large, hazardous trees in tight spaces near homes.
With room to set up, our knuckleboom crane reaches about 70 feet. Without it, our crew climbs and rigs the tree down by hand. We also handle city and HOA permits.

★★★★★"I needed to set up a defensive fire zone around our house. Nate came out THE NEXT DAY and provided a bid the FOLLOWING DAY! I don't know anyone with service like that. The fee seemed appropriate for the scope of the work. His crew came out shortly after when they found a 2-day window of availability. Very polite, very professional and very hard-working group. They doubled down and finished it in one day. Everything was cleaned up afterwards. A great experience and I would highly recommend."
