Tree Trimming in Glendale, CA

Crown thinning, deadwood out, and weight taken off the limbs that need it — Glendale, Los Angeles County.

A tree on a Glendale slope is working against gravity all its life, and the limbs that reach out downhill are the ones carrying the most weight the furthest from the trunk. Those are what come apart in a wind, and they are what thinning is for.

Taking weight off the ends and opening the crown lets air move through the tree instead of shoving it. It is not the same as cutting it shorter, and it leaves the tree looking like itself.

Tree Trimming & Thinning in Glendale

Wind coming up a canyon hits a tree from underneath as much as from the side, which is why a heavy, closed crown on a Glendale slope is the one that fails.

Hillside lots against the Verdugos, where a tree is often above the house rather than beside it and the wood has to come downhill to the truck
Brush and fire clearance is a yearly question here, not an occasional one, and dead wood over a roof is the first thing anyone inspecting will point at
Eucalyptus and pine on the slopes, both of which shed heavy limbs when they are carrying too much weight on the ends
Narrow canyon streets where there is one place the chipper can sit and everything else is a walk

Questions about tree trimming & thinning in Glendale

The tree is above the house on the slope. Can you still work it?

That is the normal Glendale job. It changes where the truck sits and how the wood comes down, not whether it can be done. Send a photo from the street and one from the yard and we can tell you how it would run.

Should I trim before the winds or after?

Before. Thinning is what keeps a limb from failing; after the wind you are paying for a removal and a cleanup instead of a trim.
