Our Story
Treecology, Inc. was founded in 2001 by Damon and Andrea Schrosk, combining Damon's professional background in ecology and habitat biology with a lifelong passion for trees. Damon's journey began with a degree in Ecology from UC San Diego, followed by field work from the desert to Alaska, and later as a wetland consultant. This hands-on experience in natural plant communities revealed a clear need for specialized, knowledgeable care in landscape installation and maintenance. Based in the Cascade Foothills of Clackamas County, Treecology brings this deep ecological understanding to every project in Milwaukie and the greater Portland area. The company is built on the principle that expert arboriculture and environmental stewardship go hand-in-hand, which is why their team consists of ISA Certified Arborists dedicated to preserving the health and beauty of your landscape.

Frequently Asked Questions
As a Milwaukie homeowner dealing with patchy grass or irrigation issues, how can your landscaping services help?
Irrigation problems and poor soil health are common local challenges that affect both lawns and the deeper-rooted plants. Our landscape maintenance and construction services address these issues at their source. We can assess your irrigation system, identify timer failures or coverage gaps, and repair or redesign it for efficiency. For patchy grass, we look at the underlying soil and root zone health of your entire landscape, which often involves improving soil conditions and selecting appropriate, hardy plantings that thrive in our local climate, ensuring a more resilient and uniform green space.
What does having ISA Certified Arborists on your team mean for my tree pruning or removal project?
It means your trees are cared for by professionals held to an international standard of knowledge, safety, and ethics. Our ISA Certified Arborists use the latest, science-based arboricultural practices for every service, from precise pruning that promotes healthy growth to safe, strategic removals. This certification requires ongoing education, so our team is continuously updated on the best techniques for tree risk assessment, cabling, and preservation, ensuring your property's safety and your tree's long-term health within the local urban forest.
Why is shrub care like disease management and transplanting important for my overall landscape?
Shrubs are foundational to your landscape's structure and ecological function. Proper care, including proactive disease and insect management, prevents problems from spreading to other plants and maintains the beauty and value of your property. Our shrub transplanting and care services are performed with the same ecological insight we apply to trees. We evaluate site conditions, soil health, and plant compatibility to ensure shrubs not only survive but thrive in their new location, contributing to a balanced, sustainable, and low-maintenance landscape that fits the Pacific Northwest environment.
