In the Portland metro, the best time to plant a tree is not spring, it is right about now.
Once the fall rains return, soil in Sherwood and across Washington County stays cool and moist while air temperatures drop. New trees spend the winter growing roots instead of pushing leaves, so they head into their first dry summer already established. By the time summer heat arrives, a fall-planted tree has already built the roots it needs to find water on its own.
Our tree planting service starts with matching the species to the site. Vine maple, Oregon white oak, and western red cedar each thrive in different light, soil, and drainage conditions, and a tree placed right avoids years of trouble with power lines, foundations, and views.
Our ISA-certified arborists handle site selection, proper planting depth, and staking only when it is needed, so a young tree gets a clean start that lasts decades.
