Pomona’s historic neighborhoods — Lincoln Park, Wilton Heights, Hacienda Park and the streets around Ganesha Park — have some of the oldest trees in the eastern county: towering eucalyptus, camphor trees, California pepper trees, deodar cedars and big Canary Island pines. Many are near the end of their lives, and old trees over old homes call for careful sectional tree removal rather than a single fell.
Camphor and pepper trees respond well to proper crown thinning, and good tree trimming can often save a mature tree that a homeowner assumed had to go. Eucalyptus is different — dead limbs and loose bark should be cleaned out regularly, and eucalyptus over a roof deserves a hard look at removal.
Pomona’s older lots also have plenty of stumps from past removals. We grind them out so the yard can be replanted — see stump grinding vs stump removal. We also work in neighboring Claremont, La Verne and Diamond Bar.
