Tree Care in Butteville, OR

If you're looking at the trees in your Butteville yard and feeling concerned, you're not alone. Most of the homes here were built around 1982, which means the trees are now about 44 years old. That's a critical age where the choices made by the original builders are coming home to roost. They often planted fast-growing species like silver maple or Bradford pear for quick shade and curb appeal. Now, those trees are mature, and their inherent weaknesses are showing. Silver maples have brittle wood and invasive roots, while Bradford pears are practically guaranteed to split apart in our wind events. Your native giants, like the Douglas Fir and Bigleaf Maple, are far better suited to our Marion County soils and mixed-marine climate, but they too can suffer from decades of neglect or improper planting.
