Professional Tree Removal in La Crescenta-Montrose, CA
Sometimes, a tree just has to go. Tree Removal is a big job, especially if the tree is near your house or a fence. We had a job recently near CV High School where a massive pine was leaning way too far toward a garage. It was a tight squeeze, but we took it down piece by piece without scratching a thing. If a tree is dead, leaning, or has huge cracks in the trunk, it might be dangerous. We come out and look at it to see if it can be saved first. If it can't, we take it down fast and clean up all the mess. You won't even know we were there, except for the big empty space where the scary tree used to be.
Professional Tree Trimming &
Pruning
Most people call us for Tree Trimming and Pruning when their trees start hitting the power lines or scraping the side of the house. If you hear "scritch-scratch" on your roof at night, that’s a sign you need a trim! We go into the canopy and take out the heavy branches that don't need to be there. This lets the wind blow through the tree instead of pushing it over. Proper pruning helps your trees grow in the right direction. We make sure we don't take too much off, because "topping" a tree can actually hurt it. We want your oaks and maples to provide shade for your kids to play under for a long time. Plus, a well-trimmed tree just makes your whole house look way nicer.
Expert Stump Grinding & Removal
After a tree is gone, you are left with a big, ugly stump in the middle of your grass. Stump Grinding & Stump Removal is the best way to get your yard back. Stumps are a pain because you have to mow around them, and they can attract termites or ants right next to your home. We have a machine that chews the stump down into wood chips. You can even use those chips as mulch in your garden beds! We grind it down deep enough so you can plant new grass or even a new tree right in the same spot. It's the best way to finish the job and make your lawn look smooth again.

Who's the best tree service near me?
The best service is one that actually knows La Crescenta Montrose. We live with the same wind, the same rocky soil, and the same local bugs you do. You want someone who is licensed and insured so you don't have to worry if a branch falls the wrong way. We always tell people to check reviews and ask if the crew uses climbing spikes (which can hurt healthy trees) or ropes (which are much safer).
Do you handle palm tree skinning and trimming?
Absolutely. Even though we have lots of oaks, we have plenty of tall palms too. If your palm has a "beard" of dead brown fronds, it’s a huge fire risk and a favorite hiding spot for rats and pigeons. We do palm trimming to keep them looking sleek and safe. We can even "skin" the trunk to make it smooth and decorative if that’s the look you want for your backyard pool area.
What do I do if a tree falls on my house during a storm?
First, make sure everyone is safe and stay away from any downed power lines. If it's a real emergency, call 911. Then, call us for Emergency Tree Service. We can get out there fast to stabilize the tree and prevent more damage to your roof or driveway. We also recommend taking pictures for your insurance company before we start moving anything.
When is the best time for tree trimming and pruning?
For most trees in La Crescenta, late winter or early spring is great because the tree is "sleeping" and will grow back strong. However, if you have dead branches that look like they might fall, the best time to trim them is right now. You don't want to wait for the next big windstorm to do the pruning for you!
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in La Crescenta?
In our area, especially if you are within Glendale city limits or in certain parts of Los Angeles County, the answer is often yes. Specifically, we have an Indigenous Tree Ordinance. This protects trees like Coast Live Oaks, Western Sycamores, and California Bay Laurels. If your tree is over a certain size, you likely need a permit from the city before we can take it down. We can help you figure out if your tree is protected and help with the paperwork.
Can you remove a tree that is in a really tight spot?
Yes! We do this all the time for houses tucked up in the hills where there isn't much room between neighbors. We use special ropes and rigging to lower branches down one by one. This way, we don't crush your rose bushes or your neighbor's fence. It takes a little longer, but it's the right way to do it.
