Located at the base of the Northern Oregon Coast Range along the South Yamhill River at an elevation of 197 feet, our town experiences everything from winter flooding to summer drought conditions that can stress trees.

Many residents have trusted us with their tree care needs for years, and we look forward to showing you why we've earned our reputation for excellence in our community, which dates back to its founding in the 1860s by Absolem B. Faulconer.

Assessment and Inspection Services

We begin with thorough tree health assessments to identify potential issues before they become serious problems. Our certified arborists inspect each tree for signs of disease, pest infestation, structural weaknesses, and growth abnormalities. This proactive approach helps prevent property damage and ensures the long-term vitality of your landscape, particularly important in Sheridan where our climate can swing from December's average precipitation of 9.05 inches to July's mere 0.42 inches.

Our inspection reports include detailed findings with clear recommendations, helping you make informed decisions about your tree care needs. We prioritize potential risks based on severity, allowing you to address the most urgent concerns first. This is particularly important in areas prone to flooding like those near the South Yamhill River, which caused significant damage during historic floods, most notably on December 22, 1964.

For new property owners in Sheridan's growing community, which has expanded from 3,979 residents in 1990 to over 6,200 today, we offer comprehensive site evaluations to identify existing tree assets and potential hazards that might affect future development plans.

Pruning and Maintenance

Regular pruning is essential for maintaining healthy, attractive trees on your property. We offer professional pruning services that remove dead or diseased branches, improve structure, and enhance overall appearance, helping your property maintain its value in Sheridan's housing market.

Our maintenance programs follow industry standards and best practices, adapted to thrive in Sheridan's unique climate, which has recorded extreme temperatures ranging from -11°F (January 31, 1950) to 106°F (recorded twice: July 19, 1956 and August 8, 1981). We carefully select which branches to remove based on the tree's species, age, condition, and growth pattern.

For young trees in developing areas near Sheridan High School (home of the Spartans), our structural pruning establishes strong branch architecture that reduces future problems. Mature trees, like those found around historic buildings such as the Travelers Home (built in 1892 and the only structure in Sheridan listed on the National Register of Historic Places), receive crown thinning to improve light penetration and air circulation while maintaining their natural form.

Tree and Stump Removal

When removal becomes necessary, we provide safe, efficient tree removal services that protect your property and surrounding landscape. Our team is equipped to handle trees of all sizes, even in challenging locations with limited access, whether you're in the urban center where the commercial district centers on Bridge and Main streets, or in areas near the Federal Correctional Institution, which employs 500 people as the city's largest employer.

After removal, our stump grinding services eliminate unsightly stumps and prevent regrowth. We grind stumps below ground level, allowing for new plantings or lawn restoration in accordance with Sheridan's community development vision.

For emergency situations, we offer 24-hour response services to address hazardous trees that pose immediate risks to safety or property, crucial during severe weather events that occasionally affect our region with a population density of 2,208 people per square mile.

Disease Management and Prevention

We identify and treat common tree diseases affecting Sheridan's urban forest before they cause irreversible damage. Our certified arborists conduct thorough inspections to detect early signs of disease, fungal infections, and pest infestations that threaten tree health in our unique climate zone.

We implement integrated pest management strategies that minimize chemical use while effectively controlling problems, protecting the natural ecosystem that has sustained Sheridan since its incorporation in 1880. This approach is particularly important for our community, which has historically faced natural challenges, from the major fire that destroyed much of the commercial district in 1913 to the significant flooding events along the South Yamhill River.

Our disease control methods include:

• Proper pruning of infected branches
• Application of targeted treatments
• Installation of physical barriers against pests
• Soil management to reduce pathogens

Nutrition and Fertilization

Trees in urban environments like Sheridan's downtown area often face nutrient deficiencies that impact their resilience and growth. We conduct soil analysis to determine exactly what your trees need, avoiding generic fertilization that can waste resources or harm tree health.

We time applications seasonally for maximum effectiveness, ensuring trees receive proper nutrition during critical growth periods in Sheridan's climate, where August sees average high temperatures of 83°F while December cools to average highs of 45°F. This approach strengthens natural defense systems against disease and environmental stress.

Emergency Tree Care Solutions

When storms strike or trees become hazardous, our emergency response team is available 24/7 to quickly address dangerous situations. We arrive fully equipped to handle fallen trees, branches, and other urgent tree-related issues that can arise during Sheridan's seasonal weather events.

We understand that tree emergencies can't wait, especially given Sheridan's history of flooding. Our team is trained to work efficiently even in challenging conditions, ensuring your property is secured quickly and professionally. We coordinate with local utility companies when necessary to address trees affecting power lines.
