Tree Care in Maple Heights-Lake Desire, WA

If you're looking at the trees in your Maple Heights-Lake Desire yard and feeling concerned, you're not alone. Most of our homes were built around 1985, which means the landscaping is now over 40 years old. The trees planted for quick shade and instant curb appeal have reached full maturity, and their inherent problems are showing. You'll see this clearly with silver maples, which were popular for their fast growth but now have weak, brittle wood and surface roots that threaten foundations and driveways. Similarly, many properties have bigleaf maples or Douglas firs that were planted too close to the house and are now causing conflicts. Understanding what was planted decades ago is the first step to managing your property's risks and value.
