Nestled midway between Eugene and Corvallis along Highway 99W, Monroe, Oregon has a storied history dating back to 1852. From its humble beginnings as White's Mill to its merger with Starr Point in 1857, our town has maintained its connection to timber even as it evolved from one of Oregon's largest cities to today's close-knit rural community of 763 residents. This rich heritage, coupled with Monroe's position within the Corvallis Metropolitan Statistical Area, creates a unique setting where professional tree care serves both practical and cultural purposes.

At Elite Crew Tree Service, we provide specialized tree care solutions tailored to Monroe's distinctive character. With 277 housing units spread across our compact 0.52 square mile town, proper tree maintenance affects virtually every resident and property. The demographic makeup of our community—where the median age is 42.7 years and approximately 26.7% of households have children under 18—shapes our approach to safety and aesthetic considerations in tree management.



From our elevation of 292 feet above sea level, we serve properties throughout the 97456 ZIP code area with services designed specifically for our Pacific Northwest environment. Our team combines skilled craftsmanship with modern equipment to effectively manage trees of all sizes, honoring Monroe's timber legacy while addressing contemporary landscaping needs.
