Full-service tree care.

From a single overgrown branch to full lot clearing — our crew has the gear, training, and experience to get the job done cleanly and safely.

Tree Removal

Safe removal of dead, diseased, or dangerous trees — tight spaces, near structures, any size.

Pruning & Shaping

Species‑appropriate pruning that promotes growth, clears sight lines, and preserves your tree's natural form.

Lot Clearing & Clean‑Up

Prep land for building, landscaping, or fire safety. We haul it all — brush, logs, stumps, debris.

Stump Grinding

Grind stumps below grade so you can replant, re-landscape, or just reclaim the space.

Common questions

Before you book us.

Are estimates really free?
Yes — 100% free, no obligation. We come out, look at the job, and give you an honest written quote. If you decide not to move forward, you don't owe us a thing.
Are you licensed & insured?
Yes. California contractor license #1153680, plus full general liability and workers' comp insurance. We'll send proof before the job starts — required for any legitimate tree contractor in California.
Do you haul away the debris?
Yes. Clean-up and hauling are included in every quote unless you'd specifically like us to leave the wood for firewood.
How much does tree removal cost?
It depends on the tree's size, species, location, and access. Small trees can start around a few hundred dollars; large or hazardous trees near structures cost more. We give a firm price after an in‑person look — no surprise fees.
Do you handle emergencies after hours?
For urgent hazards (tree on a house, blocked driveway, downed limb on a car) — call us directly at 831-326-1781.

Throughout Santa Cruz, Monterey, and San Benito counties — including Watsonville, Salinas, Santa Cruz, Capitola, Aptos, Monterey, Hollister, Prunedale, and everywhere in between. Not sure if we cover your area? Give us a call.
