There’s a lot that goes into Portland tree care – just as there’s a lot that goes into Vancouver tree care and tree care in the Pacific Northwest in general! At Urban Forest Pro, our ISA-certified arborists make up the best collection of tree care specialists in the Portland area. With this blog, the tree care experts at UFP hope to provide a substantial amount of content that is both entertaining and informative. We want to provide some background on a variety of tree care services, and as a full-service tree company, Urban Forest Pro is the go-to source for tree care in Portland. With this blog, we’ll cover everything from how to winterize your trees to how best to fertilize the soil. We’ll also cover many other tree service topics, including tree removal, tree planting, tree pruning, view enhancements, and more. In addition to these topics, UFP will present in-depth blog posts on tree rot, tree fertilization, organic pest control, and a whole lot more. Our goal is to be the only resource that Portlanders and our neighbors to the north in Vancouver, Washington, need to determine how best to care for their trees and the landscaping that makes up the bulk of our extraordinary urban tree canopy.
