Nodd's Review "The towering trees that shade your front porch provide more than beauty -- they increase the value of your home," states a recent HGTV article. "Several recent nationwide surveys show that mature trees in a well-landscaped yard can increase the value of a house 7 to 19 percent". Alternatively, the surveys showed that "a lush lawn with flower gardens is pretty, but didn't add to the value of a house."
Introducing Pacific Tree Works, a family owned business here in the Beaverton area that understands the value of trees and the importance of keeping them healthy. "Every living thing is connected," owner Matt Allen told me. "Nature's all about balance so we need to be good stewards of the environment... even if it's our own backyard." And as one of Beaverton's premier tree services, Matt does not simply cut down and remove trees, rather he educates his clients on their ‘green investments', bringing up alternatives and delivering solutions. Some of his services other than tree removal include: canopy support, preservation and disease diagnosis.
Matt's career began in the Grant's Pass area as an apprenticeship back in 1997. He was a tree climber who enjoyed the outdoors as well as the hard work. "There really wasn't a way to keep me inside back then," he said with a smile. And now, a father of two lovely daughters and a wonderful wife who helps him in the office, he still finds time to enjoy the outdoors with his family.

Commonly Asked Questions About Tree Care:
Q: What is the best time of year to prune a tree?
A: Tree pruning must have an objective in mind. For example, the tree has some dead branches that need removal or the limbs are too close too your roof. Most tree pruning can be accomplished all year long. A Certified Arborist will be sure to find the most appropriate solution for you and your tree.
Q: Do I need to prune my tree every year?
A: If done correctly tree pruning is very beneficial, but too much pruning can lead to poor tree structure, tree stress and disease. Trees generally don't need annual pruning.
Q: When should I fertilize?
A: Fertilization should only be done if the tree or shrub requires it. This is called prescription fertilization. Fertilization should only be applied if a deficiency is found in the soil. While some light fertilization can be done without ill effects it is important to have your soil tested and sent for analysis before you spend the money to fertilize. Over fertilization can cause unnecessary growth and insect problems.
Q: Got a sick tree? Do I need a permit to remove or prune my tree?
