Full-stack tree care for Berkeley, California
Structural pruning
We thin crowns to reduce sail, remove deadwood, and shape growth so limbs clear roofs, lines, and sidewalks while staying balanced.
Precision removals
When a tree must come down, we rig, crane, and section it safely over pools, patios, and cars with zero property damage.
Stump grinding
We grind, haul chips on request, and prep the area so you can reseed or build right after.
Emergency response
24/7 crews clear downed limbs, blocked drives, and line tangles. We secure, cut, haul, and document for insurance.
Plant health care
We build root strength with biology-first treatments that help trees fight heat, drought, and pests.
Consulting & reports
Permitting help, arborist reports, and risk scores for HOAs, insurers, and remodel projects.

How we keep your project smooth and predictable

2) Plan
We pick gear, crew size, staging, and timing that fit your block and noise windows.

Rigging, cranes, or bucket work with mats and spotters; debris contained as we go.

Health programs that build resilience before storms hit
Urban trees fight compacted soils, heat islands, and pest pressure. We start with soil tests, then build plans that combine aeration, compost, slow-release nutrients, and targeted pest controls.
Mulch rings, structural pruning when trees are young, and thoughtful clearance cuts save you from costly removals later.
Predictable care schedules make costs predictable tooand your canopy looks great all year.
