Learn MoreReach out by phone or through our contact form. Tell us what you are dealing with - the type of tree, roughly how big, and how close it sits to your house or fence. We respond within 1 business day and will schedule a free on-site visit at a time that works for you.
One of our crew leads visits your property to look at the tree in person. We check for permit requirements, flag any utility line concerns, and walk you through exactly what needs to happen. You receive a written quote with no pressure to commit on the spot.
Once you approve the work, we schedule the job and show up on time. The crew completes everything - cutting, chipping, hauling, and cleanup - then walks the property with you before leaving. You get your yard back, clean and clear.
We carry a California contractor's license - verifiable at cslb.ca.gov - plus general liability and workers' compensation coverage. If something goes wrong on your property, our insurance covers it, not yours.
We never quote over the phone for tree work, because the size, location, and access all matter. A crew lead visits your property, assesses the job in person, and gives you a written quote you can review without any pressure.
We have been working in the San Gabriel Valley since 2017. We know the clay soils, the eucalyptus and pepper trees, the permit requirements, and the neighborhoods - which means fewer surprises on your job.
A tree that comes down in a storm does not wait for business hours. We offer around-the-clock emergency service for fallen trees, storm damage, and any situation that cannot wait. Call any time and a real person picks up.

"We had a large pepper tree leaning toward our fence after a wet winter. The crew came out, gave us a written quote the same day, and had it down and cleaned up within two days. The yard looked great when they left."
Michael T., San Gabriel - Tree removal
"I put off trimming our liquid amber for a few years and it had gotten way too big. The arborist explained what they were going to do before they started and the result was exactly what I was hoping for. Branches are well clear of the roofline now."
Linda K., Alhambra - Tree trimming
"Had a eucalyptus stump in the backyard that had been there since before we bought the house. They ground it down well below grade and raked everything clean. We planted grass over it a month later and you would never know it was there."
James R., Rosemead - Stump grinding
We respond within 1 business day - no obligation to commit after we talk. After you submit, someone from our office will call to schedule a free on-site estimate where we assess the job in person and give you a clear written quote.

Helpful context so you can make informed decisions about your trees.
Santa Ana winds arrive fast, usually from late September through December, and put heavy stress on dense, unpruned canopies. Trimming before fall reduces wind resistance and removes weakly attached branches before they become hazards.
Yes. Overhanging branches and dead wood near structures add to the fuel load around your home. California has defensible-space requirements for properties in designated fire-hazard areas - your tree service should know how these rules apply to your address.
This pest has spread through much of the Los Angeles area and attacks dozens of common tree species. Look for small boring holes, weeping sap, or branch dieback spreading from the inside out. UC ANR tracks its spread and has published treatment guidance. A certified arborist can tell you whether your tree is salvageable.
Both species are aggressive resprouters, sending up new shoots from the root collar for years if the stump is not ground deep enough. Grinding at least 6 to 8 inches below grade is the standard for stopping regrowth on these common San Gabriel Valley species.
Sometimes. The rules depend on the tree's size, species, and whether it sits on private property or near a public right-of-way. East San Gabriel is unincorporated LA County, so county rules apply rather than a standalone city code. A licensed local contractor will tell you upfront whether a permit is required.
Clay-heavy soils expand when wet and shrink when dry, gradually destabilizing root systems over many years. Trees that look healthy above ground can have surprisingly weak footing below - especially after a wet winter followed by a dry summer. If a tree has shifted noticeably, have a professional look at it.

A reputable local contractor will check permit requirements before scheduling any work. In LA County, larger trees and certain species may need approval first - and starting without one can create problems for you as the homeowner. Ask your contractor directly whether a permit is needed for your specific tree.
Visible cracks in the trunk, a noticeable lean that was not there before, or major limbs that are leafless while the rest of the tree is not - these are the warning signs worth acting on. The International Society of Arboriculture publishes guidance on tree risk that is useful background reading.
For routine work with no permit needed, most residential jobs are scheduled within a week or two of inquiry. Emergency situations move faster. If a permit is required, add at least a week or two for the approval process - sometimes longer depending on the jurisdiction.

East San Gabriel is a census-designated community in unincorporated Los Angeles County, sitting in the heart of the San Gabriel Valley. With around 22,000 residents packed into just over 2 square miles, it is a dense, fully built-out neighborhood where homes and trees sit in close quarters. That density is exactly why careful, professional tree work matters here - there is little room for error when a tree comes down near a fence, a driveway, or a neighbor's property.
Most homes in this area were built during the postwar suburban boom of the 1940s through 1970s, and many of the trees on those properties are just as old. Large-canopy eucalyptus, pepper trees, and ornamental species planted decades ago are now mature and sometimes structurally compromised. The clay-heavy soils throughout the valley expand and contract with the seasons, slowly working on root systems over decades. Add the Santa Ana winds that push through the valley each fall, and you have conditions that make regular tree maintenance genuinely important rather than optional.
We have been working in East San Gabriel and the surrounding valley since 2017. We know the permit process for unincorporated LA County, we know which tree species cause the most trouble in this climate, and we know how to work in tight residential lots without making a mess of the surrounding yard. If you have a tree concern - anything from an overhanging branch to a full hazard removal - give us a call. We serve your neighborhood and we know what these properties need.
