San Marino’s large estate lots hold some of the most impressive residential trees in the county: huge coast live oaks, deodar cedars, camphors, Moreton Bay figs, sycamores and palms, many older than the homes. San Marino regulates tree removal on private property, so confirm with the city before removing any significant tree.
Our tree trimming crews handle structural pruning, deadwood removal and roof clearance on mature estate trees. When removal is approved, big trees over large homes are typically removed by crane or with extensive rigging to protect structures and manicured landscapes — see tree removal.
Stumps are ground below grade and chips hauled for a clean finish. We also serve Pasadena, South Pasadena and Arcadia.
