Tree Care in Corvallis, OR

If you're looking at the trees in your Corvallis yard and feeling concerned, you're not alone. Most of the residential tree problems we see here trace back to a simple fact: the wrong tree was planted in the wrong place decades ago. When these neighborhoods were built, builders often chose fast-growing species for quick shade and curb appeal. That's why you see so many mature silver maples, known for their weak wood and aggressive surface roots, and Bradford pears, which are beautiful but structurally guaranteed to split apart after 15 to 20 years. These trees are now 40 to 50 years old and entering a high-risk phase. Your mature Douglas firs and bigleaf maples are valuable assets, but they need a different kind of care than those problematic species planted for speed.
