Our Services
From the hillside homes above Foothill Boulevard to the flats near Crescenta Valley Park, we provide expert tree care for every La Crescenta property.
Fire Clearance and Defensible Space in La Crescenta
Living in La Crescenta means living in a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone. The brush-covered slopes of the San Gabriels can turn a small fire into a major disaster quickly. That is why fire clearance is not just a good idea here. It is required by law, and it could save your home.
We help La Crescenta homeowners create and maintain defensible space around their properties. This means trimming trees to remove lower branches, clearing dead wood, and reducing vegetation density. Properties along Ocean View Boulevard, Rosemont Avenue, and the streets above La Crescenta Elementary often need this work done annually.
Our tree trimming service follows LA County Fire Department guidelines for brush clearance. We understand the specific requirements for Zone 0 and Zone 1 clearance and can help you pass fire inspections while keeping your landscape attractive.
Protecting La Crescenta's Native Oaks
La Crescenta has beautiful native coast live oaks and valley oaks scattered throughout the community. These trees are protected by county ordinance, which means you cannot remove them without a permit, and any pruning must follow specific guidelines to avoid harming the tree.
Our arborists are trained in proper oak care techniques. We know that oaks should only be pruned during certain times of year to prevent oak wilt and other diseases. We also understand the permitting process if removal becomes necessary due to disease or safety concerns.
For professional guidance on your La Crescenta trees, our arborist consulting service provides expert assessments and recommendations. And for tree services throughout the Burbank area, we bring this same expertise to every job.
Storm and Wind Damage Response
La Crescenta gets hit hard when winter storms roll through. The combination of steep terrain, saturated soil, and strong winds brings down trees every year. We have responded to storm damage calls on Altura Avenue, El Caminito, New York Avenue, and throughout the hillside neighborhoods after major weather events.
Our emergency tree service is available around the clock. When a tree falls across your driveway or threatens your roof, we can be there quickly to assess the situation and begin safe removal. We carry insurance and have the equipment to handle even large, complex removals on steep La Crescenta properties.
After storms pass, we recommend having your remaining trees inspected for damage. Wind can cause cracks and splits that are not immediately visible but could lead to failure later. An inspection now can prevent an emergency later.
