Arcadia is one of the most heavily treed cities in the San Gabriel Valley. Neighborhoods like Highland Oaks, Santa Anita Oaks, Lower Rancho and the Village have large lots with coast live oaks, sycamores, deodar cedars, pines and tall palms. Arcadia also has an oak tree ordinance that regulates removal and significant pruning of oaks, so check before any work — our permit guide explains how these rules work.
Large estate trees over big homes often require crane-assisted tree removal or sectional rigging. For healthy trees, tree trimming — deadwood removal, crown thinning and roof clearance — keeps oaks and deodars safe. Foothill neighborhoods near the San Gabriel Mountains also face fire clearance requirements.
Arcadia is also known for new home construction replacing older houses, which drives removals and stump excavation. We also serve Monrovia, San Marino and Pasadena.
