Tree Removal in Los Angeles, CA

Taken down in sections and rigged, not dropped — Los Angeles, Los Angeles County.

On a Los Angeles lot there is almost never room to lay a tree down. The house is on one side, the neighbour's fence on the other and there is usually a service drop through it, so removal here means taking the tree apart from the top rather than cutting it at the base.

The climber sets a line, takes the limbs in pieces and lowers them, then the trunk comes down in rounds. Everything that comes off goes through the chipper the same day.

Tree Removal in Los Angeles

A 6,000-square-foot lot with a house, a fence and a wire is the standard Los Angeles removal, and it is why the rope work is not optional here.

Street and yard palms everywhere, most of them decades old and tall enough that fronds and seed pods come down on cars, roofs and people below
Overhead service lines run through the canopy on a lot of residential streets, so clearance work is as much about what is around the limb as the limb itself
Dense blocks with narrow driveways and street parking, which decides where the truck and the chipper can actually sit
Santa Ana winds test every tree that has not been thinned, and the ones that fail are usually the ones carrying too much weight on the ends

Questions about tree removal in Los Angeles

Is the stump included?

It is a separate item — say at the estimate whether you want it ground out or left, because it changes the number. Finding out afterwards helps nobody.

Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Los Angeles?

It depends on the tree and where it stands — protected natives and street trees are handled differently from a tree in your own back yard. We will tell you honestly if we think yours needs checking with the city before we touch it.
