Tree Care in Deming, WA

If you're looking at the trees around your Deming home, you're likely seeing the legacy of choices made when these properties were first developed. Many of the mature trees here are now 80 years old, and the fast-growing species favored for quick shade and curb appeal are showing their age. We see a lot of silver maples with their brittle wood and invasive roots, and Bradford pears that are structurally destined to fail. The Douglas firs and western red cedars that are native to Whatcom County often hold up better, but even they can develop hidden problems. A tree can look healthy on the outside for years while decay is hollowing it out from within. That's why we use specific tools, like sounding the trunk with a mallet to listen for the dull thud of rot, to assess what you can't see.
