(341) 225-0169Our Services
We provide comprehensive tree care for Oakland homes and businesses. Whether you are in the hills above Lake Merritt or down in West Oakland, we bring the right tools and expertise to handle any tree challenge safely and efficiently.
Managing Trees on Oakland's Hillside Properties
Oakland's hills present serious challenges for tree care. Homes in Piedmont Avenue, Rockridge, and Upper Dimond sit on slopes where a falling tree can slide downhill and cause massive damage. Your properties often have limited access, narrow driveways, and steep grades that require specialized equipment and experienced climbers.
We work with crane operators when necessary and use rigging techniques to lower heavy branches safely without damaging your deck, roof, or neighbor's property below. Oakland also has fire risk zones where brush clearance is not optional. We help you stay compliant with city ordinances while maintaining the natural beauty of your hillside landscape. Our team handles permits and inspections so you do not have to worry about paperwork.
Many Oakland properties have eucalyptus, pine, and oak trees that drop heavy limbs during winter storms. Regular pruning and thinning reduces wind resistance and keeps your home safe. When removal is the only option, we handle complete extractions from start to finish.
Urban Tree Care for Dense Oakland Neighborhoods
Oakland neighborhoods like Temescal, Laurel, and Adams Point have narrow lots with trees close to power lines, sidewalks, and shared fences. Your street trees need regular maintenance to avoid interfering with utilities or dropping branches onto parked cars. We coordinate with PG&E when working near power lines and follow strict safety protocols to protect your property and the public right of way.
Many Oakland residents love their urban forest but struggle with root damage to driveways and sewer lines. We provide root barrier installation and selective pruning to keep your plumbing safe without sacrificing tree health. Our team also handles sidewalk repairs and works with the city when permits are required for protected species.
From emergency storm cleanup to routine maintenance, we understand Oakland's unique blend of historic homes and modern development. Whether you need stump grinding or disease treatment, we are the local experts you can count on.
Fire Safety & Defensible Space Requirements
If your Oakland property sits in a high fire severity zone, you already know about defensible space requirements. The city mandates specific clearances around structures, and failing to comply can result in fines or issues with insurance coverage. We help you meet these requirements while keeping your landscape attractive and functional.
Our team removes dead wood, thins dense canopies, and creates fuel breaks that slow fire spread. We also handle brush removal and chip everything on site or haul it away, depending on your preference. Oakland homes in Skyline, Hiller Highlands, and Joaquin Miller Park need annual maintenance to stay compliant and protected.
Beyond fire safety, we provide land clearing for new construction and arborist consultations for property planning. When you work with us, you get expert advice backed by years of experience serving Oakland homeowners and businesses.
