Hello, 

Thanks for reaching out to Ask Extension! For specific classes offered in your county, please reach out directly to the Multnomah Master Gardener staff. Kim Butchereit is the Education Program Assistant for the county (<personal data hidden>). 

While we can't provide a specific recommendation for a business, we do recommend working with a certified arborist. This helpful page offers advice on how to do just that:

PNW-ISA maintains a For Hire ISA Certified Arborist Directory of ISA Certified Arborists. The searchable database allows you to locate commercial tree care companies and consulting arborists who can help provide the best possible care for your trees and bushes.
