Canby's Trusted Tree Service Since 1986
Canby is the agricultural heart of Clackamas County — known as the "Garden Spot of Oregon," built on nurseries, farms, and fertile Willamette River valley land. The tree landscape here reflects that: mature shade trees around farmhouses and established neighborhoods, large specimen trees on nursery and acreage properties, and riparian growth along the Willamette and Molalla Rivers. Canby regulates street trees through Chapter 12.32 of the Canby Municipal Code, while private-property removals in the surrounding area generally follow Clackamas County's more relaxed rules. North Woods has worked Canby and the surrounding farm communities — Logan, Carus, Macksburg, Barlow, Ninety-One — for 35+ years. We understand farm-property tree work, nursery-adjacent jobs, and the city's street tree process.

Tree Work in the Canby Area — What You Need to Know
Canby regulates street trees through Chapter 12.32 of the Canby Municipal Code — any tree in the public right-of-way or planter strip requires a Street Tree Cut Permit from the city's Urban Forestry Division before removal or major work, and the city may require replacement trees as a condition. For private-property tree removal in the broader Canby area, Clackamas County rules generally apply: no permit is required for private-property removal of up to two trees per year (commercial: up to two per year, per acre), with additional removals requiring a more detailed county permit. Properties near the Willamette or Molalla Rivers may fall under county stream and wetland setback rules. North Woods handles the street tree permit process for our Canby customers and knows the county rules for farm and acreage properties. For street tree permit questions, the Canby Public Works Department can be reached at 503-266-0780, or the Planning Department at 503-266-7001.

Frequently Asked Questions — Canby Tree Service
Quick answers to the questions we hear most from homeowners, contractors, and property owners across Canby.

It depends on the tree's location. Street trees — those in the public right-of-way or planter strip — require a Street Tree Cut Permit from the City of Canby under Chapter 12.32, and the city may require replacement trees. For private-property removals in the broader Canby area, Clackamas County rules generally apply: no permit for up to two trees per year (commercial: two per year, per acre), with additional removals requiring a county permit. We help every customer determine exactly what's required before any work begins.
-
