Serving Washington State Since 1995

Ornamental & Landscape Trees

Western Hemlock

Tsuga heterophylla

Western Hemlock 10-12'

Native to the Pacific Northwest, the Western Hemlock is a pyramidal, coniferous evergreen tree, with unusually graceful foliage. Its short, narrow “needles” are displayed on horizontal branches that droop at the tips, which gives the tree a delicate and feathery appearance. Western Hemlock may also be sheared to create a fine-textured hedge.

ATTRIBUTES

Foliage: Evergreen

Mature Height: To 70-200ft.

Mature Width: To 20-40ft.

Sunlight: Full sun, partial shade, shade.

Soil: Moist/well-drained, acid soil.

Growth Rate: Moderate to fast

"Instant Privacy" Use: Western Hemlock makes a beautiful, fine-textured hedge.

"Instant Privacy" Spacing: These trees can be spaced on 4, 6, or 8' centers (meaning the trunks of each tree are 4', 6', or 8' apart) or wider. For example, if you're trying to cover 40' with trees on 8' centers, you'd need 6 trees (the first one at "0" ft. on one end, and then one every 8' after that). Some people want them spaced close in order to maximize their 'Instant Privacy", while others will put them wider in order to cut down on the cost.

What to Expect the First Year: As with all newly-planted trees, these need to be watered carefully through the first Spring/Summer--see our "Care of Your Trees" section for more details. Not as much growth the first year because the tree is putting its efforts into its root system.

Comments: Excellent in the natural or woodland garden”

From our Snohomish, WA location, we deliver and plant trees statewide. We sell retail & wholesale, for residential and commercial projects. We specialize in "Instant Privacy Trees"tm for screening and selected Ornamental & Landscape Trees, as well as "Starter Trees". We also offer Transplanting/Rescue of trees, and our "Cliffhanger" Program (for erosion-control and stability on bluffs, hillsides and riverfront property).

We are a tree farm, not just a nursery. Many of the trees you buy from us have been grown right here in Snohomish at our 60 acre tree farm. Buying directly from a grower gives you fresh trees, great selection, and low prices--you maximize your purchasing power!. More information

We’ll help you determine which trees are right for your project, and provide you with free, no-obligation estimates. This is often accomplished by e-mail and phone. Where necessary, we will send our Arborist out to review the project (no charge). More information

We don’t require any money “up front”—you only pay when the job is completed (unusual exceptions to this are special projects, lengthy “holds” on trees, or Cliffhanger jobs). Be careful of contractors asking for “up front” money.

When we plant your trees, we include staking (if necessary), transplanting fertilizer, and an easy-to-use watering system that hooks into your garden hose. More information. We also give a one year Warranty on trees we plant, for no additional charge. More information

We pride ourselves on our Customer Service—real people answering the phone. We have an "A+" rating with the Better Business Bureau and a 100% satisfaction rating with eBay. We have a detailed “Care of Your Trees” section of our website and are available for ongoing support after your trees are planted. More information

We’ve been in business since 1995 and have a dedicated, experienced staff including a Certified Arborist (RB), a Landscape Designer (Janet), and an experienced Business Manager/Nurseryman (Michael).

We are a registered Washington State contractor (License Number: NURSEL*956J1). More information

We’re conveniently located just 15 minutes north of Woodinville. We’d be happy to have you out. We don't keep regular retail hours; instead we set up appointments so that we can focus on your project--we look at photos and plans with you, and drive you around the farm and look at the tree options.

Most important of all is what our customers think of us:

"I am really pleased with your work. You saved me several thousand dollars, steered me away from trees that wouldn't work, provided healthy and beautiful trees, did a great job planting them, and did everything on time and on schedule. You can quote me." Jo, Vashon Island

"Our privacy bank of trees has done nothing but grow well into maturity. Our back yard and deck area is totally private and the 10 trees your team planted [in 2005] are rich, leathery and dark green. We remark on them every day it seems. Please include me in any of your "Testimonials" as you would be hard pressed to find a more satisfied customer." Jim, Port Orchard

"For quality vs. value, your trees are the best landscape purchase I’ve ever made." Jeff, Seattle

"I work in customer service so I know good service when I experience it and you have my top rating. I would definitely recommend you to anyone who needs new landscaping. Thanks again.” Carol, Camano Island

"By the way, the trees were a great privacy feature when we sold the last house! We now have a much larger space . . . " Katherine, Fall City

“My compliments to your crew. We’ve had a lot of contractors working on our house recently and we’ve seen the entire range; and your guys were excellent. The trees make things look so much better—I started smiling as soon as I saw them going in." Holly, Queen Anne

"You guys are the best nursery I've ever done business with! And I have dealt with a few. You did what you said you would, on time with attention to detail rarely found. From the beginning of the quote process all the way through to the last detail you made it easy. And you work to ensure that the trees will thrive after planting with detailed advice, a complementary irrigation system, and a website filled with useful information. Most nurseries will just dump off the goods and tell you best of luck, put some water on them. You provide a quality product that sets you apart. Your crew was friendly, polite and operated as a well organized team. I would recommend you without hesitation! Thanks for doing a great job!” Ryan, Buckley

"We can not believe how beautiful your trees are. The privacy is unbelievable. If you ever need a testimonial let us know. Our yard is perfect! We sit there and say "my oh my”! Suzanne, Tacoma

"I don't think I've ever been as happy with something I've purchased." Sarah, Sammamish
