Same trees, very different ground

Douglas fir, western red cedar, big-leaf maple and red alder grow all over Whatcom County. What changes from town to town is what they are standing in and what hits them.

In Bellingham it is slope: tall conifers on hillside lots with a house below and nowhere to drop anything. Out on the Nooksack flats around Ferndale, Everson and Sumas it is water, with winter soil so saturated that shallow-rooted trees tip over whole. North toward Lynden, Custer and Blaine it is wind, because the cold northeast outflow comes straight down the Fraser Valley and across open farmland. On the shore it is salt and exposure.

We work the whole county, and we plan each job around the ground it is on.

Towns we cover most

Tall conifers rising above older homes on a Bellingham hillside

Bellingham

Big fir, cedar and maple sitting right against older houses in Edgemoor, South Hill, Sehome and Columbia, often on steep lots. Lake Whatcom and the Chuckanut side add slopes and shoreline to the job.

Large cottonwood and alder trees along a wet rural lot near Ferndale

Ferndale

Flat, wet ground along the Nooksack where saturated winter soil lets alder and cottonwood go over at the root. Older rural lots alongside newer subdivisions cut out of second-growth timber.

Windbreak conifers beside a farmhouse in Lynden farm country

Lynden

Farm country, with windbreak rows, old orchard trees and big yard conifers standing in the path of the winter outflow winds.

Wind-shaped trees on a shoreline property near Blaine and Birch Bay

Blaine

Semiahmoo, Drayton Harbor and the border, where salt wind, exposure and view lines decide which trees stay and which go.

Not sure if we reach you?

If you are in Whatcom County, we almost certainly do. Long gravel drives, gated properties, steep back yards with no truck access and soft winter ground are all normal for us. Tell us about the access when you call. It changes what we bring, not whether we come.
