Norwalk’s neighborhoods are mostly 1950s-era tract homes, and many still have the trees planted when they were built: ficus, Chinese elm, carrotwood, pines and fan palms. After 70 years, many of those trees have outgrown the lot, and their roots are cracking driveways and pushing into sewer lines. When trimming won’t fix it, tree removal and root grinding will.
For healthy trees, routine tree trimming keeps limbs off roofs and power drops and reduces wind damage risk. Palms need annual frond cleanup. Fruit trees — especially avocado and citrus — benefit from light pruning every year or two.
Norwalk homeowners often want the yard cleared for turf replacement or pavers. Our stump grinding crews grind below grade and grind surface roots too. We also work in Downey, Cerritos and La Mirada.
