Cerritos was once a dairy town, and most of its homes were built in the 1960s and 70s. Neighborhood trees include pines, magnolias, liquidambar, ficus, Brazilian pepper, carrotwood and palms. Many are 50+ years old, and their roots commonly lift walkways and driveways. That combination leads to both tree trimming and tree removal calls.
Cerritos homeowners keep tidy yards, and many are converting to drought-tolerant landscaping. Our stump grinding crews grind old stumps and surface roots so new plantings and pavers go in cleanly.
For the difference between grinding and excavation, see stump grinding vs stump removal. We also serve Lakewood, Norwalk and La Mirada.
