Evergreen Trees Seattle:
Big Trees Inc. Serving All of Greater Seattle
Evergreen trees retain their needles during the winter months so they provide year round interest, color and texture in the landscape. They are versatile and can be used as specimens, hedges, privacy screens, windbreaks, or as backdrops for smaller plants. They are particularly well-suited for the Pacific Northwest climate, enduring the moderate summers and long, wet falls of the region.
When selecting trees, it is crucial to evaluate the planting site to ensure the survival and health of the trees. Consider factors like the mature size of trees, proximity to underground utility lines, and the presence of overhead power lines.

Evergreen Tree Species
Here are some of our most popular evergreen trees, that can add beauty to your landscape, including many that work very well as privacy screen trees.
Golden Cedar: The golden cedar is a variegated type of the western red cedar. It has bands of golden yellow within the green foliage. The golden yellow color is more prominent in the new growth, which occurs in early to mid summer. The golden cedar works well as landscape accents or as screening privacy trees. It can also be sheared into hedge form. Tree pruning is important to maintain its shape and health.
Deodar Cedar: This tree species has a very graceful habit that can be quite striking in the landscape. It is grown easily in our mild northwest climate. Branches of the Deodar are pendulous and the central leader often droops. It has dense evergreen needles that grow in tufts or whorls on the branches. Needles have a unique bright green to a bluish tint.
Douglas Fir: The Douglas fir is a dense evergreen native to our area. It has a strong pyramidal shape when young and has a tendency to limb itself up as it matures. Its size will be difficult to control in urban landscapes so it is best to have adequate space for this large native tree. Needles are soft and occasionally have a bluish tint. Large trees like the Douglas fir provide significant environmental benefits and add value to properties.
Giant Sequoia: The Giant Sequoia is an impressive addition to any landscape. It grows to magnificent heights and gains enormous trunk girth. A large landscape is necessary because size will be difficult to control. The giant sequoia is extremely long lived and is highly regarded as one of the most majestic trees.
