Complete Tree Maintenance Services

More Than Just Cutting Branches

Tree trimming includes crown cleaning to remove dead, diseased, and broken branches that pose safety risks. Crown thinning opens up dense canopies to improve air circulation and reduce wind resistance – crucial for Long Beach’s storm-prone location.

Crown raising lifts lower branches away from structures, walkways, and power lines. This prevents damage during storms and eliminates ongoing maintenance headaches like branches scraping your roof or blocking your driveway.

Our service also includes proper pruning cuts that heal correctly, preventing disease and decay from entering the tree. Each cut is made with the tree’s long-term health in mind, not just immediate appearance.

How often should trees be trimmed in Long Beach?

Most trees in Long Beach benefit from professional trimming every 3-5 years, but this varies based on species, age, and location. Fast-growing trees like maples might need attention every 2-3 years, while slower-growing oaks can often go 5-7 years between major trimming sessions. Trees near power lines or structures typically need more frequent maintenance. The coastal environment here also means trees face more stress from salt air and storms, so regular assessment is important even if major trimming isn’t needed annually.

What's the best time of year for tree trimming?

Late fall through early spring is generally the best time for most tree trimming in Long Beach. Trees are dormant during this period, which reduces stress and allows them to heal properly before the growing season begins. However, dead or dangerous branches should be removed immediately regardless of season. Some species have specific timing requirements – for example, oak trees are best pruned in winter to avoid attracting beetles that spread oak wilt disease. Emergency trimming after storms obviously can’t wait for ideal timing.

Do I need permits for tree trimming in Long Beach?

Long Beach has specific regulations about tree work, especially for larger trees or those near property lines. Generally, you don’t need permits for routine pruning and trimming, but removal of trees over certain sizes or in protected areas may require approval. Street trees and trees in the right-of-way definitely require permits before any work can be done. We’re familiar with local requirements and can help determine if permits are needed for your specific situation before work begins.

How much does professional tree trimming cost?

Tree trimming costs in Long Beach typically range from $300-$1,500 per tree, depending on size, complexity, and accessibility. Small trees under 25 feet might cost $300-$600, while large trees over 50 feet can run $800-$1,500 or more. Factors affecting price include tree height, branch density, proximity to structures or power lines, and cleanup requirements. Emergency services and difficult access situations cost more. We provide free estimates, so you can get accurate pricing for your specific trees before committing to any work.

Is tree trimming covered by homeowner's insurance?

Homeowner’s insurance typically doesn’t cover routine tree maintenance and trimming – that’s considered normal property upkeep. However, if a tree damages your home or other structures, the removal and cleanup are usually covered. Some policies also cover emergency tree removal if a tree is threatening your home after a storm, even if it hasn’t caused damage yet. It’s worth checking your specific policy and talking to your agent about what’s covered. Preventive trimming is almost always your responsibility, but it’s much cheaper than dealing with storm damage later.

What happens to the wood and debris after trimming?

We include complete cleanup and debris removal in our pricing. Branches and leaves are usually chipped or hauled away, while larger trunk sections might be cut into firewood-sized pieces if you want to keep them. We have relationships with local facilities that can process the organic waste properly. Some homeowners choose to keep wood chips for mulch or firewood for personal use. The key is clarifying what’s included in cleanup before work begins – you shouldn’t be left with a pile of debris to deal with yourself.
