Bradford and his crew came to my place today and successfully removed a large madrone that was growing close to and leaning over a building. From the initial communication with Bradford, to the completion of the tree removal, all work and contact occurred seamlessly. I would hire Bear Creek again. I give them a high recommendation for their skills, care and quality of work.

The Bear Creek Forest Management team has done a terrific job with our mature oak / walnut trees & the newer fruit trees. Their tree thinning has made the large trees much safer, healthier & more picturesque. In addition, the fruit trees are much more vigorous & productive. Bradford’s sensible defensible space advice & fuel reduction ideas around our property & neighbor’s has been invaluable, they safely removed several very large trees hanging over our house. We rely on Bradford’s keen observations + insightful suggestions to keep our home landscape safe & attractive. Bear Creek Forest Management & Tree Service is best in class, we highly recommend them!

Bradford and his crew have done an exceptionally professional and sensitive job of restorative thinning on our 95 acres of diverse forest, greatly improving the heath of the forest. He has worked for us personally, as well as in conjunction with NRCS grants. I cannot overstate how highly I would recommend Bear Creek Forest Management. Bradford has also tackled multiple situations with difficult to remove trees near our home. He is an expert tree climber and faller. He is an excellent and clear communicator, and very easy to work with. He has the highest integrity in every aspect of his work. If there were 10 stars, he would be a 10!

Bradford and his team have been helping our community with all things tree related for many years, (I think going on 10 years now). He's the only person we contact when we need help. Seriously, the guy is awesome. Ten thumbs up.

Bradford did an excellent job clearing brush from my property with his mulcher machine. He accomplished everything he said he would get done and stuck to the agreed upon price. I would definitely recommend him for any brush clearing project

I would recommend Bear Creek to anyone needing tree work or thinning done on their property. They're very professional and skilled. Bear Creek felled some large pines for me and put them safely and and efficiently where they needed to go.

Bradford and his crew took down a couple of dozen trees surrounding my house, working efficiently and harmoniously with the land and the rest of the forest. Not a branch touched my house or deck. I spent hours in awe of his expertise and calm quietude as he worked each tree with precision and ease. He's also a great communicator and shows up on time. Very reasonably priced for the amount of work expended, and left the worksite super clean. I recommend him heartily!

Bear creek has been invaluable to me in maintaining my forested property. Bradford is able to fell trees with great precision, amazing to watch him drop a 150 foot tree exactly where he intends. Couldn’t recommend this service more highly, affordable, reliable, knowledgeable crew.

This was our first experience with Bradford and his team at Bear Creek Forestry. And it was absolutely the best in every way. A friend recommended we talk with him about some work we needed on our undeveloped 10-acre forested property just outside the City of Grants Pass. Bradford took the time to listen to our concerns, to view the property, and then make excellent recommendations about several options that would make it possible to meet our goals to improve the health of the landscape, land, soil, forest growth, and improving resilience to wildfire damage. His recommendations, the quality of work and professionalism of his entire team throughout the process were all Excellent. We continue to receive unsolicited comments about how beautiful and healthy the property looks. If there is such a grade as A+++, it would be the perfect score for Bradford and his team in all areas. We recommend him 100% and will continue to work with Bradford and team on all our forest and landscape projects.
