Trees are a beauty to the eye, a benefit to the environment, and a valuable asset to your property. But sometimes there’s no option other than removal. We’re the local experts for tree removal services, with all the right skills and equipment to do the job safely.
When Is Removal Needed?
The main reasons for tree trunk removal are poor tree maintenance or simply age. We can diagnose any diseases or trimming problems, and if necessary provide tree removal service without causing any damage to landscaping, nearby buildings, or utility lines. Rancho Landscape & Tree Care provides affordable tree removal services to all Sherman Oaks, Tarzana, Woodland Hills, Santa Clarita, Simi Valley, and surrounding areas
Here are some of the other more common that call for removal services
- An inappropriate species planted years ago or in a poor location that’s now damaging a sidewalk, driveway, sewer line, or water line.
- A dead or sick tree. For example, some fungal infections cause extensive harm from the roots upwards. This and other diseases can lead to root rot or a decayed trunk.
- Making room for a new building or other structure.
- Clearing access to solar panels.
- Landscaping renovation, such as needing more sunlight for a garden or if the tree has become an eyesore.
- It was severely damaged during a storm.
- Trees with split or cracked trunks or crotches.
- The tree is overcrowded by nearby buildings or other trees.

City Codes
Nearly all cities in the Valley have codes and regulations regarding tree removal. In general, it’s necessary to have prior approval and a permit for trees above a certain size (typically 10 feet) and/or having a trunk above a certain diameter. The details can get pretty involved. We fully understand the requirements and compliance and do everything by the book including taking care of the permit.
Having said that, you may have received notice that a tree on your property is in violation of zoning or safety regulations. Our services are ready to advise you and then take care of the best path forward.
Large Tree Removal
Removing large trees is especially difficult, particularly if they’ve been damaged or are diseased. Safety for workers along with the protection of nearby structures as well as overhead and underground utilities are paramount. Our advanced equipment and expertise in balancing safety and speed keep the process as economical as possible.

Absolutely. We carry extensive General Liability and Worker’s Compensation insurance required for high-risk work. We can provide a Certificate of Insurance (COI) upon request.
It varies greatly by size and complexity. A small tree might take an hour, while a large, complex tree near a house may require a full day or more. We’ll provide a clear timeline with your quote.
No. Stump grinding is an optional, separate service. We itemize it separately, allowing you to choose whether you want the stump removed or left behind.
Our service includes cutting the tree down, then chipping and hauling away all debris. If you wish to keep the wood for firewood, please let us know when requesting your quote.
Possibly. Many local municipalities require permits for removing “protected” trees (based on size, species, or location). We will advise you of the local rules and can assist with the permit application process.
Cost is based on four factors: Size (height/diameter), Location (access/proximity to hazards), Condition (risk level), and the Method required (crane, rigging, etc.).
We offer 24/7 Emergency Response for immediate hazards. We will secure the area, remove the danger, and provide the detailed invoices and photos needed for your homeowner’s insurance claim.
