Protect Your Home from Windstorm Damage: Best Trees and Foliage for Springfield, Oregon?

9/10/2024 (Permalink)

We restore wind damage “Like it never even happened” in Lane County.

Our local Springfield and East Lane County teams restore wind damage every year in Pleasant Hill. Windstorms can cause significant damage to homes, but strategic planting of trees and foliage can provide a natural barrier against these forces. Here are some examples:

Evergreen Trees: Evergreens like Douglas Fir and Western Red Cedar are excellent for creating windbreaks. These trees retain their foliage year-round, providing continuous protection. Their dense canopies and sturdy trunks can significantly reduce wind speed and shield your property.

Deciduous Trees: Oregon White Oak and Bigleaf Maple offer structural solid integrity and deep root systems. While they lose leaves in the winter, their robust branches and trunks remain effective wind barriers.

Shrubs and Bushes: Planting dense shrubs, such as Pacific Wax Myrtle or Red Osier Dogwood, can offer additional layers of protection. These flexible bushes can absorb and dissipate wind energy, reducing its impact on larger structures.

Native Grasses and Ground Cover: Incorporate native grasses like Idaho Fescue and ground covers like Kinnikinnick to stabilize the soil and prevent erosion. These plants help anchor the soil, reducing the risk of uprooted trees during intense windstorms.

By strategically planting these trees and foliage around your home, you can create a resilient landscape that not only beautifies your property but also offers essential protection against windstorm damage.
