Are there any specific California State or Redwood City regulations about tree trimming or removal during fire season?

Individual cities in California require shrubs, limbs, branches, and other flammable materials to be cleared at varying distances from structures. This prevents “fire laddering,” where ground or grass fires spread to tree canopies through understory growth. Check with your local fire department for distance requirements in your area. Redwood City Fire Deptartment can be found here.

What are the most common tree issues in Redwood City, California?

Common tree issues around Redwood City, Califorina include inadequate irrigation, poor soil conditions, aphids, scales, foliar diseases like fire blight, anthracnose, and sudden oak death (Phytophthora ramorum). Additionally, tree roots often impact hardscapes or nearby structures, causing damage.

How long does a tree removal or trimming job generally take?

The duration of a tree removal or pruning project depends on the tree’s size, condition, and location, and could range from one hour to multiple days. Schedule a consultation with one of our certified arborists to get an accurate estimate tailored to your needs.

What kind of equipment do you use for large Redwood City, California tree removals?

We regularly assess and modernize our fleet to handle any job. The tree's size, location, and condition determine the equipment used. Our resources include chippers, trucks, log loaders, aerial lifts, and partnerships with crane services for challenging or inaccessible tree removals.

What types of drought-resistant trees do you recommend for replanting around Redwood City, California?

Typically, native species to Redwood City, or your neighborhood, will do best. Newly planted trees of any kind will typically require supplemental irrigation until established. We have a variety of services to be able to help your trees thrive. Schedule an appointment with one of our certified arborists to assess your individual needs.

Daniel and Carlos did a great job trimming my trees: acacia, eucalyptus, and elm. When I pointed out more areas to trim, they completed that to my liking. There are several wires near the 2 eucalyptus trees, and they were very careful in dealing with that area. Did a fine job cleaning up, too. And Emily was wonderful in originally coming out to evaluate my trees, suggest what to have done,...

AMAZING service! We had a very tricky removal to perform of a massive Willow tree very close to the water. Daniel and his crew were super professional, fast, clean and the price was quite reasonable, considering the size of the job. Highly recommend this company!!! See picture for the massive amount of wood that the crew had to chop up and haul through our garage and into the truck. They left...

Daniel and Daniel were an amazing tree crew that worked well together and cleaned up. My homeowners insurance company required that the oak branches over my roof were trimmed to 30 ft above or they would cancel my...

A neighbor recommended SavATree to us and we are very happy with their service … from the free consultation with arborist Ronal, who was very knowledgeable and informative, to the actual pruning of our four redwood trees, and yard cleanup. Everyone was professional, courteous, and responsive to our questions and concerns. “Natural” pruning made our redwoods look terrific and several...

The crew did a great job. We had a 70 foot tree next to our house that they were able to take down with absolutely no damage to our house, our plants, or our backyard furnishings. Everything was done quickly and the process was well-communicated. Cleanup was impeccable. We also had to plant a new tree to replace the old one and they brought a great specimen and were careful to plant it...
