Our Services
Tree care is especially important for appearance and health during the first 5 years of the tree’s lifetime, with pruning or trimming services around once a year. As it matures care can be a bit less often, with tree trimming primarily for hazard reduction.
Tree Trimming
Our professional tree trimming services improve appearance and structural integrity by removing dead wood and shortening or selectively removing branches. That also reduces hiding places for rodents and insects. Each tree service is expertly tailored to the species, its condition, and its proximity to your home.
Tree Removal
It’s sad to say, but sometimes tree removal is the best option when it becomes a hazard. Sometimes cabling and bracing just aren’t enough. Tree takedown may be necessary for a diseased or overgrown tree, one with cracks or splits, or one that’s suffered wind damage. Our expertise and equipment mean minimal disruption of your lawn and essentially no risk to your home or to utility lines.
Stump Grinding
After tree removal you’re left with a stump that’s a nuisance and actually a danger. Stump grinding is the fastest and often the most economical means of stump removal. We’ll bring in the right scale of equipment for thorough removal of the stump and main roots down to a depth of as much as 20 inches. That means the area is now fully available for lawn, a garden, or whatever you have in mind.
Pruning and Lacing
Whether pruning or trimming (using hand tools or power tools) we go for the best in both appearance and health. Requiring even more skill and care, lacing removes up to 1/4 of the canopy to create more air circulation, less resistance to wind, more light penetration, and a better view.
Palm Tree Skinning
Palms skinned and trimmed properly look better and are much healthier. Palm trees are unique in their needs for trimming away dead fronds that otherwise pose a safety hazard when they eventually fall. Palm trimming also improves appearance, yet after several years thin remains show as a ragged zig-zag pattern. Our palm skinning removes that to restore a smooth and fashionable look.
Brush Clearing
Brush and other vegetation near your home pose a major hazard in case of a wildfire. So much so that local fire regulations specify brush clearing and other cleanup as far as 100 feet from structures. After having a look at your situation our experts will know exactly what’s necessary to protect your home and avoid fines.
Emergency Tree Services
Storm damage and other hazardous situations can arise at any time of the day or night. So we’re ready with 24 hour emergency services.
Resources for Homeowners
Homeowners weighing up a tree job can read the International Society of Arboriculture’s plain-language guides at TreesAreGood.org, including how to tell whether a tree needs pruning or removal. If a tree has already failed, see our emergency tree service page, and for help choosing between trimming and lacing read pruning and lacing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Trimming is typically done for aesthetic shape and uniformity. Pruning is a specialized cut done for the health, structural integrity, and long-term vitality of the tree, often removing diseased or interfering limbs.
An ISA Certified Arborist is a tree health expert. We use science-backed techniques to ensure your trees remain healthy, stable, and beautiful, protecting your long-term investment and property value.
Lacing is a specialized pruning technique that involves strategically thinning the interior canopy to improve light penetration, air circulation, and reduce the sail-effect, which helps the tree better withstand high winds.
Tree removal is a last resort. It’s necessary when a tree is dead or dying, poses an unacceptable hazard to your home or people, or is causing severe damage to foundations or utility lines. We perform a Certified Arborist Risk Assessment first.
The best time is typically when the fronds are fully brown and dry. Over-pruning (removing green fronds) can stress the palm and should be avoided.
In some areas, permits are required for removing “protected” trees (based on species or size). We will advise you of the local rules and can assist with the permit process if necessary.
