Vine maples flourish in moist soil conditions, particularly along shaded stream edges, as an understory tree in coniferous forests, or at the woodland edge. It is a native plant and is common in forests west of the Cascade Mountains from sea level to 2500 ft.

Woodland and rain gardens benefit from this plant along with conventional and ornamental gardens. Acer circinatum is also an important species for creating wildlife habitat. It provides food, nesting sites, and cover for many birds and mammals.
