TREE REMOVAL

We are skilled in tree removals of all sizes, assessing their direction of fall and bringing them down in a controlled manner with clearance. We have all the right equipment to protect your house and landscaping while removing a tree.

TREE PRUNING

We recommend a proactive approach to pruning and trimming trees in order to promote strong limbs less prone to breaking. Winter snow loads can decimate your untrimmed trees, so regular pruning is not only cost effective, but keeps your trees safe, healthy and beautiful. Besides pruning large native trees, we also specialize in ornamental tree pruning (maples, aspens, cranapple, plum, etc.). We always use “spikeless” pruning methods to prevent any damage to your tree (our climbers don’t use foot spikes).

DEFENSIBLE SPACE

Defensible space is the safe area around your home that has been cleared or thinned in order to reduce the effects of wildfire. Your home is more likely to survive a devastating wildfire if proper defensible space is cleared around your structures. California law requires that homeowners in State Responsibility Areas, which includes the Tahoe basin, clear out flammable materials such as brush or vegetation around their buildings to 100 feet (or the property line) to create a defensible space buffer. This helps halt the progress of an approaching wildfire, keeps firefighters safe while they defend your home, and helps to minimize the spread of fire to neighboring buildings.

STUMP GRINDING

Stumps create perfect homes for carpenter ants, detract from your landscaping, and can be a tripping hazard. Our amazing stump grinder is self propelled, able to go up and down hills, and has an articulated arm that can fit in tight spaces.

tree RISK ASSESSMENT and arborist consulting

The purpose of a tree risk assessment is to establish whether the tree in question poses an immediate threat to persons or property. If a threat is identified, we can determine what solution will work best for your situation.

TREE PRESERVATION

Trees improve the quality of water, soil, and air. They provide shade, make landscapes more beautiful, and increase property value. So trying to save your trees is a very worthwhile effort, and we can help by diagnosing your problem and assessing the possibility of saving your trees.
