Your Local Tree Crew In Nampa

Many of Nampa's older neighborhoods have big Siberian elms and silver maples that were planted decades ago. Both have weak wood and tend to shed limbs as they age. We help Nampa homeowners decide which old trees are worth keeping and safely remove the ones that aren't.

Mature Trees In Older Neighborhoods

Nampa is the largest city in Canyon County and one of the biggest in Idaho, and its older neighborhoods around downtown and Lakeview Park have trees that are fifty to eighty years old. Siberian elms and silver maples were planted heavily in the mid-1900s because they grow fast in tough conditions. Both have weak wood, and as they age they develop decay in old pruning cuts and split at heavy forks. Many of the large trees we remove in Nampa are one of these two species.

Pests And Problems We See Here

Elm leaf beetles strip Nampa's elms almost every summer, leaving brown, lace-like leaves by August. Repeated stripping weakens a tree over time. Boxelder bugs, aphids on maples and borers in stressed birch are common too. Many Nampa yards also still have Russian olives and volunteer elms that seeded into fence lines and alleys. These trees are tough to kill and re-sprout from the stump, so removing them usually means grinding the stump as well.

Wind, Snow And The Canyon County Climate

Canyon County shares the Treasure Valley's dry climate, with hot summers and cold, fairly short winters. Our biggest storm damage comes from strong spring and summer winds and the occasional wet, heavy snow that sticks to evergreens. Nampa is also close to Lake Lowell and the Deer Flat National Wildlife Refuge, and the open farmland around town gives wind a long run. When a big limb comes down on a fence or car here, we can usually get a crew to Nampa the same day.

Keeping Old Trees Or Starting Over

Not every old tree in Nampa needs to come down. A well-placed elm or maple can often be made safer with deadwood removal, crown reduction or cabling. But when a tree has major trunk decay or has lost much of its canopy, replacing it is usually smarter. If you replant, choose something that handles alkaline soil and heat, like a hackberry, Kentucky coffeetree or bur oak.
