The Little Details
Foster Trees is a Portland, Oregon-based full-service tree care company founded by the late Brad Swet, a certified arborist with extensive experience in the tree care industry. After Brad’s death in 2019, his partner Nicky and his parents took over ownership of the business to keep Brad’s vision alive.
We are a small, family-owned company that offers friendly professional services many larger companies do not, and provide each of our clients with personalized care when assisting them with their individual needs. We have a sincere passion for working with trees, and part of our job is to educate clients interested in knowing more about the best ways to care for their trees and when and where removal is the best option. We provide clients with accurate assessments and are happy to take the extra time to be sure our customers understand the science and reasoning behind our recommendations when providing estimates.
We hope to be the company you call for all your tree-related questions, whether you’re concerned about a tree growing too close to your foundation or roof, don’t know where to plant your new tree, or if your backyard seems to grow faster than you can keep up with! Our team of experts pride themselves on finding solutions that match our clients’ needs with the latest knowledge and science in arboriculture. We would love to share that knowledge with you today.
