Manhattan Beach has a neighborhood literally named for its trees — the Tree Section, east of Sepulveda, where streets are named for species and lots hold big pines, eucalyptus, pepper trees and ficus. The Hill Section and East Manhattan have similar mature trees, while the Sand Section’s tiny walk-street lots have palms and a few coastal pines. With homes built nearly lot line to lot line, tree removal here is precision work with rigging and sometimes cranes.
Manhattan Beach has a tree preservation ordinance that applies in certain areas and to certain trees, so confirm with the city before removing a large tree. Our permit guide explains how local rules generally work.
Routine tree trimming — thinning, deadwood removal and palm cleanup — keeps trees healthy in the salt air. After removals, stump grinding clears space for new landscaping. We also serve Redondo Beach, Torrance and Hawthorne.
