Had a huge Cottonwood up against the house in Williams, Owens and his crew came in and took it down, hauled it off and even moved all the branches with leaves to feed my goats. After all that Owens even went with the blower and cleaned off access debris. Could not recommend them enough, reliable, skilled and all around nice people.
It was a pleasure to have Phoenix Sun Tree Care help me with my property. There were many dead trees and limbs that needed to be taken down, and it feels more open and healthy now. I highly recommend Owens and his team for any tree care needs!
Owens is a super thoughtful and skilled arborist. He has an insightful, wholistic way of assessing and advising on tree health and safety — highly recommend.
I knew I needed some help with my orchard for the health of the trees, but I was surprised at the artistic uniformity of Owens' pruning method. The orchard looks better than ever. Tanks Owens!!
My wife and I have really enjoyed working with Owen's. He is conscientious about the trees he's working on, and does a great job . He is courteous and quickly gets the job done! We will definitely recommend him to family and friends for any free services they might need.
Owens does good work, works hard and communicates well! I would definitely hire him again! He brought a big cedar down, right next to the house with no mishaps!
Finally I found the right guy for my 25 random fruit trees! Owens has been great to work with, knows his stuff, has creative ideas, shows up on time, works fast and has great communication. Hard to find this type of help in S.OR…
Our experience with Owens was wonderful and so easy. At our consultation, I could sense his honest nature and love for the trees he works with. I was impressed by the way he considered the many parts at play when felling a tree near a structure in a forest- meeting the needs of the building, the tree’s ecosystem, and his customer. His clean up was also neat and beautifully. He is a joy to be around, and his skill and arborist knowledge shines. Thanks Owens!
Owen and his sister took out a 70’ Ponderosa Pine that had a lean towards the house. They did a great job and were careful not to drop too heavy of chunks onto the water line below. This meant sawing a lot more branches off and dropping them separately. Owen even made me a nice piece of trunk for my beehive stand. Thanks! Bottom Line is: Hire them with total confidence.
The first time we hired Phoenix Sun Tree Care was to prune our fruit trees. Owen came recommended by one of the nurseries in Grants Pass, and he absolutely lived up to that recommendation. He is meticulous and takes great pride in his work. After that initial visit, we discussed additional projects around our property, including overgrown bushes and dead branches as well as cutting a tree down that had fallen from a heavy rain. He recently completed the clean up, and once again did a fantastic job. Owen is prompt, responsible, communicative, and always leaves the area clean when he is finished. His pricing is more than fair for the quality of work and dependability he provides.
Owens is extremely thorough, thoughtful and knowledgeable. He was great to work with and communicated well about the health of our trees. Reasonably priced as well, and cleaned up everything. You are dealing with the owner operator of Phoenix Sun Tree Care and that is important to us, and it shows in his work. Highly recommend him!
We have used his services a few times on different jobs and will again when the need arises. Very good work with fair prices and good communication! Brett My Favorite Property Managers
Owens, Phoenix Sun Tree Care, has been doing work for our company for quite a while. We recommend him to our clients. He is great to work with. He responds quickly to calls. His pricing is very good. His work ethic is great, he always goes the extra mile and cares about his clients and their needs. He should be the first choice for everyone.
I can’t recommend Phoenix Sun Tree Care enough! Owens is a tree whispering superhero(attached photo to prove it;), insanely hard-working, ridiculously pleasant, and somehow makes chainsaws look like delicately destructive art tools. The work is top-notch, the price is shockingly reasonable, and he’s just a delightful human. If your trees need love (or a gentle chainsaw intervention), call Owens. You’ll thank me later… your trees will thank him immediately for their beautiful new “haircut,” or your house that sits next to a towering dead one, will breathe way more easily😁
Owens is one of the best and nicest arborist I’ve ever had on my property. He was knowledgeable safe and got right to the point and Affordable he cut down four trees on my property and did it with safety and precision and left no mess!!!! highly recommended👷♂️🧗♂️
Owens was available and showed up on time making an extra effort to discuss and listen to what I wanted in realation to taking care of the tree. He was fast and competent making me feel comfortable with the dangerous task at hand. He went the extra mile when it came to the clean-up. Such a releif to have the limbs gone that were hanging over the house as well as the giant dead madrone made into firewood. Pleasant the be around and dependable I will hire Owens again in a hearbeat.
You couldn't hope for any better skill, knowledge or service than what Owens brings. We have had him work on our forests, fruit trees and landscaping for several years, and everything he does is outstanding. His work is characterized by rock solid knowledge, careful planning and exemplary execution. His pricing is reasonable and fair, and he does everything he promises. It's also worth pointing out that Owens is a respectful, kind and modest man. You'll want to invite him in to share conversation and a cup of tea.
We’ve been using Owens for several years now and have been so happy with the results. Our old, neglected Orchard is now bursting with fruit in the summer. we highly recommend him for your tree care.
We have used Owens' arborists talents on several touchy jobs. Once he came over on an emergency after a snow storm brought down trees threatening to smash our house.He's careful, highly skilled and able to tackle tough jobs. He's always on time, has all the equipment he needs in good working order and works hard, earning every penny. He cleans up everything before he goes, stays on budget (actually does a little extra), is careful of existing plants and a nice person to have around. We highly recommend Owens' work and will definitely call on him the next time we need arborist work. Sherry Peterson and Peter Miller
Owens does great work and we would definitely have him back again. We had a big old Douglas Fir leaning too close to the house and we were concerned that it would land on the house in a wind storm. Owens scaled the tree, efficiently brought it down without any problems. and subsequently cut the tree up and disposed of the branches, all of that for a cost we agreed on. We were very pleased with his work and have told people that he does a wonderful job. Jim Larrabee and Cheryl Bruner
Owens is an efficient and professional tree feller who did an excellent job on our farm. We had a giant locust and he took it down safely and neatly. We would recommend him to everyone and give him 5 stars!
Owens worked on fire mitigation helping us clear dead standing fir trees through a grant lined up by the Applegate Watershed Council. He and his crew took a very thoughtful, responsible approach to our property on Sterling Creek with safety, forest health and resiliency at the top of their priorities. We have a few acres of steep hillside that they worked on and it looks so much better now than it did before their work. Owens also climbed, limbed and took down a large 150’ tall Douglas fir right next to our house that had us concerned and he did an amazing job. Highly recommend Phoenix Sun tree care!
Owens was great. He removed several large trees for us. He was prompt, communicative, and fair. We would hire him again.
Owens is professional! He is also a lovely human. He is highly skilled at restoring light from thick coverage and trimming Madrone’s to highlight their beauty. Owens prioritizes safety and keeps his word. Now that’s something! We are so pleased by the work he’s done so far and look forward to hiring him again and again to restore our forest yard to a more pristine beauty.
Owens worked on my property last winter and removed a giant fir tree that was leaning over one of our buildings. Taking down this dangerous monster was far outside of my ability and I am really glad I hired him. He climbed the tree, limbed and pieced it out one chunk at a time. Owen's work was extremely safe, and he dropped limbs and trunk segments with precision. I felt that he was as efficient as one could get without compromising the integrity of our building or his own safety. Owens also felled some large trees that didn't require climbing, and again his felling work was exceptional. Besides his quality of work, Owens is extremely professional, friendly, courteous and to top it off, he loves his work. I found his rates reasonable for the work. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Owens and Phoenix Sun Tree Care to anyone looking for tree care or forestry work, especially if you'd like to see your trees and your property handled with care, grace and love.

Highly recommend Owens and Phoenix Sun Tree Care! We were so impressed with his professionalism, safety, availability, reasonable pricing and overall service. Our trees are looking great and much safer near our house which brings us peace of mind. Referred Owens to our neighbors who were impressed with his tree climbing and care as well!
Owens was easy and wonderful to work with. He cut some dead limbs off our oak trees and went above and beyond by not only recommending what would be best for the health of the trees, but also checking in and considering what was aesthetically pleasing. He is professional and trustworthy. Highly recommend!
Phoenix Sun Tree Care is the best! Owens is Friendly, highly skilled and knowledgeable. He cleared the concerning oaks from our construction project leaving it, beautiful, clean & safe. Thank you!!
Owens helped us limb up a few huge firs on our land. Professional, fast and affordable. Hughyly recommend!
Phoenix Sun Tree arrived on the time agreed, they proceeded to complete the Tree trim and was very considerate of the neighbor's tree health and the property border. Phoenix Sun removed all trimmings and left the property cleaner than arrival.
Owens did a few days of work on my property in various different areas. From advanced climbing and limping on some big oaks near structures to forestry thinning and bucking, he did an excellent job. I trusted him completely. His skill, communication and ease of working with was excellent! Thanks so much Owens!

Owens came out to our house to fell several large dead fir trees near the neighbor's fence line. Despite their large size and close proximity to structures, he made quick and easy work of them. He is a good guy to shadow and learn from as he has a lot of knowledge and experience working with the trees. 100% would recommend to anyone seeking to get some arborcultural work done. Thanks Owens!
Owens and Phoenix Sun Tree Care are the BEST! I can’t recommend them enough for any tree care (trimming or removal) you may have. Besides his professional work, clear communication, and pure stoke for his work, the one thing that Owens brings to his customers above all else is…. Integrity! Not once, but twice, Owens came to my home to consult me on possible tree removals that I was concerned about. Both times he recommended a different solution that didn’t result in him making money. It was obvious that he cared about my needs, not his own. I was then able to hire him for a tree trimming and removal and he took care of everything: 1) He detailed his plan to do the work ensuring no possibility for damaging my house 2) Kept me updated as progress was made 3) And cleaned up the entire job site impeccably. Call Owens and Phoenix Sun Tree Care if you want an honest and energetic professional for any tree care need. Thanks Owens!

Owens is a hard worker, respectful and honest! He has been doing tree work for me for a long time. He is very knowledgeable about trees and obviously loves what he does!!
Owens has done work for me on several occasions. One is to prune some Japanese maples and pines that I have. He also took down a number of trees on my property. He did an excellent job and was very easy to work with. He’s a great guy and his pricing was very reasonable.
Phoenix Sun Tree Care is a top notch tree care company. Owen's is communicative, timely, well organized, and most definitely knows his tree work. I highly recommend this company.
Owens did extensive fire mitigation on our 5 acres. He felled multiple hazardous trees as well as smaller ones. He’s easy to work with, and puts in a good days work at reasonable price. I don’t hesitate to recommend him to others. Thanks Owens!
First Owens came by to give me an observation and estimate which was done extremely logically with Understanding in what I needed to accomplish which was very knowledgeable and professional as well as friendly. Upon the date of the job he was punctual, and got everything accomplished to the "T" and went over everything in regards to the satisfaction of the entire job..which was 100% and beyond what l was expecting.. Phoenix Sun Tree Care goes above and beyond any arborist needs that you could possibly imagine and I've dealt with a few different outfits throughout the years l can't recommend any tree service any higher than Sun Tree Care..l would definitely recommend them for all your needs in regards tree service needs. I'm done looking and will continue to use their services from here on out. ☆☆☆☆☆ all the way..
Absolutely Phonex Sun Tree Care are the best I've ever experienced in this area, punctual, professional, knowledgeable friendly. I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing a arborist five sta

Emergency tree removal case study
When a 150-Year-Old Oak Falls on Sunday Morning
I got a call from a family up Thompson Creek Rd on a Sunday morning. A large black oak had fallen during a storm. They were out of town but had a house sitter taking care of their animals. The oak just about took out their car as well as the mother-in-law cottage.

Emergency Tree Work FAQ
Do I need to get multiple bids for emergency work?
No. Emergency tree work is about safety first. When there’s immediate danger—tree on your house, blocking access, risk to people—getting three bids wastes time and keeps you in danger. Call, we’ll assess the situation and give you a fair price on the spot.
How much does emergency tree work cost?
Emergency pricing depends on the danger, access, and scope of work. A limb on your roof is different from a full tree down. A full day’s work typically runs around $1,000. I’ll give you a fair estimate before starting the work.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover this?
Many homeowner’s policies cover emergency tree removal if the tree damaged your home or blocked access. We’ll provide a detailed invoice for your claim, but you’ll need to check with your insurance company about your specific coverage.
What forms of payment do you accept?
Cash or check. For larger emergency jobs, I can be flexible with payment timing—I understand insurance claims take time to process.
Are you available after hours or on weekends?
Our regular hours are Monday through Saturday, 7am-7pm. For emergencies outside those hours, call anyway—we may still be able to help.
What if a tree is touching power lines?
Don’t touch it, and call your power company first. I can handle tree work near power lines once they’re de-energized, but the utility company needs to disconnect power first for safety. I’ll coordinate with them if needed.
Do you clean up debris?
Yes. We’ll haul away all debris and clean up thoroughly.
What areas do you serve?
We’re based in Grants Pass, Oregon and serve the surrounding areas of Josephine and Jackson Counties.
What’s the difference between emergency and hazard tree work?
Emergency = immediate danger or damage (tree is down, limb fell, storm damage). Hazard tree = potential danger that should be addressed soon (tree is leaning, dying, has heavy deadwood). Both are serious, but emergencies get same-day response. Learn more about hazard tree removals.
