Lynden is farm country, and much of the tree work here is on farmsteads: windbreak rows, big yard trees around older farmhouses, and trees crowding fields, ditches and barns. Call (360) 503-0571 for a free estimate.
Trees we see in Lynden
Windbreaks of poplar, cottonwood and conifers are common on farms, along with large Douglas-fir, cedar and maple around homes. Along ditches and the Nooksack, alder, willow and cottonwood fill in fast.
Terrain and access
Flat, open ground makes access easy in dry months, but wet fields limit where trucks and machines can go from late fall to spring. We’ll plan the job around field conditions and your farm schedule.
Wind, snow and storms
Being close to the Canadian border, Lynden catches some of the strongest Fraser River outflow winds in the region, often with snow or ice. Exposed windbreaks and lone farmhouse trees take the hardest hits.

Permits and regulated trees
Trees along streams, ditches that carry fish-bearing water, and the Nooksack floodplain may be regulated as critical areas or shoreline. Inside city limits check with the City of Lynden; elsewhere, Whatcom County Planning & Development Services. Farm windbreaks away from water usually aren’t an issue, but we’ll flag anything that looks regulated.
Frequently asked questions
Can you take out an old windbreak or replace part of one?
Yes. We remove dead, leaning or broken windbreak trees, clean up the row and handle stumps. If you want the strip ready for replanting or for farming, tell us so we leave the ground right.
Can you work around my fields and livestock?
Yes. We plan access, timing and debris so we don’t tear up fields or leave hazards for animals. Let us know about gates, livestock and any times we should avoid.
Do you clean up after winter wind and ice storms?
Yes. Broken tops, split limbs and downed trees after outflow storms are common work in Lynden. If a tree is touching a power line, call the utility first.
