Tree Care in Hillsboro, OR
Hillsboro is where Peak Tree Specialists was founded. We know Washington County trees, terrain, and regulations better than anyone.
Trees in Hillsboro
Hillsboro sits in the Tualatin Valley, where the tree canopy mixes large Douglas fir and bigleaf maple on established residential lots with newer plantings in the rapidly growing neighborhoods north and west of downtown. Properties range from half-acre lots in Orenco to larger rural parcels toward Cornelius and Forest Grove.
Washington County's growth has brought more tree protection requirements for development sites, and the mix of established trees and new construction creates a constant need for both preservation work and safe removal.

Hillsboro Tree Care Questions
Hillsboro requires permits for certain tree removals depending on size, location, and zoning. Street trees are regulated by the city. Properties in unincorporated Washington County follow county rules. We help determine which regulations apply before work begins.
Dormant-season pruning (November through February) is best for most deciduous trees. Douglas fir and bigleaf maple can be pruned in late winter or early spring. For orchard-style properties west of Hillsboro, we avoid pruning during wet conditions to reduce disease spread.
If a tree has fallen on a structure or power line, call 911 or PGE first. Once the area is safe, call us for emergency response. As Hillsboro-based crews, we can reach Washington County properties quickly — often same-day.
Tree size and access are the primary factors. Rural properties west of Hillsboro often have easier access than tight suburban lots in Tanasbourne or Bethany. Tree species, condition, and crane requirements also affect cost. We provide written estimates after an on-site assessment.
