Our Services
We provide complete tree care services for residential and commercial properties throughout Whittier. Our experienced team handles everything from routine maintenance to complex removals.
Hillside Properties and Mature Trees
Whittier sits in the Puente Hills, which means many properties have slopes, retaining walls, and trees growing at angles. Those hillside lots in neighborhoods like Friendly Hills and Turnbull Canyon present unique challenges. Trees on slopes need special attention because their root systems can destabilize soil, and removing them safely requires equipment that can handle uneven terrain.
The historic homes in Uptown Whittier often have enormous trees that were planted 60, 70, even 80 years ago. These beautiful old specimens add character to the neighborhood, but they also need regular maintenance to stay healthy and safe. We work with homeowners to preserve these trees whenever possible while addressing safety concerns like overhanging branches or damaged limbs.
Unlike flatter areas like nearby Pico Rivera, Whittier properties often require crane-assisted removals and specialized rigging techniques. Our experienced crews have the training and equipment to handle complex jobs safely, protecting your home and landscaping throughout the process.
Commercial and Municipal Tree Care
Whittier has a thriving business district with shopping centers, office parks, and restaurants that all need professional tree maintenance. Properties along Whittier Boulevard and around the Whittwood area call us regularly to keep their landscapes looking sharp and their parking lots clear of hazards. First impressions matter for businesses, and well-maintained trees make a big difference.
We also work with HOAs and property management companies throughout Whittier. Multi-unit complexes and planned communities need consistent, scheduled maintenance to keep common areas attractive and safe. Our professional trimming services help properties maintain their curb appeal and avoid liability issues from neglected trees.
Whether you manage an apartment building near Penn Park or a retail center off Colima Road, we understand the unique needs of commercial properties. Our crews work efficiently to minimize disruption to your tenants and customers while delivering the quality results your property deserves. We also provide stump grinding for properties undergoing landscaping updates.
Wind and Fire Risk Management
Properties in Whittier, especially those in the hills near the Whittier Narrows and Turnbull Canyon, face real fire risk during hot, dry months. Santa Ana winds can turn dead trees and overgrown brush into serious hazards. We help homeowners reduce this risk by removing dead trees, clearing defensible space, and trimming back branches that could catch embers.
The 2017 fires in nearby areas reminded everyone how fast conditions can change. Many Whittier residents have since taken fire prevention more seriously, and we've helped hundreds of properties create safer landscapes. This includes removing highly flammable eucalyptus trees close to homes and thinning out overgrown vegetation that could fuel a fire.
Strong winds also cause immediate damage. We respond quickly when trees fall or branches snap during windstorms. Our team knows Whittier well enough to navigate the hillside roads and reach properties that other services might struggle to access. Protecting your home from tree-related hazards is something we take seriously.
Our Process
Get in Touch
Reach out by phone or through our online form to tell us what you need. Whether you have a dangerous tree, need regular trimming, or want advice on your landscape, we're here to help. We serve all of Whittier, from the hills to the flatlands, and can typically visit your property within 24 to 48 hours.
Historic District Tree Preservation
Many of Whittier's most beautiful neighborhoods have historic designation, which sometimes comes with restrictions on tree removal. We work with homeowners in Central Park, Hadley-Greenleaf, and other historic districts to navigate these regulations while keeping your property safe. Sometimes that means preservation and careful trimming rather than removal.
These older neighborhoods often have magnificent heritage trees that define the streetscape. When a tree becomes hazardous, we help you document the issue and work with the city if permits are required. Our arborists can provide written assessments showing why removal is necessary for safety or structural reasons.
We also excel at preservation work that extends the life of valuable trees. Strategic trimming, cabling for structural support, and disease treatment can often save a tree that might otherwise need removal. Your historic Whittier home deserves tree care that respects both safety and heritage.
Year-Round Service and Emergency Response
Whittier's climate means trees grow year-round, and problems don't wait for convenient times. We provide scheduled maintenance programs for properties that want regular care, and we're also available 24/7 for emergencies. When a storm knocks down a tree or a branch falls on your house, you need help immediately, not next week.
Our emergency crews know how to reach properties throughout Whittier, even the hillside homes with challenging access. We've cleared fallen trees from driveways at 2 AM and secured damaged branches hanging over roofs during windstorms. Your emergency becomes our priority, and we respond fast to minimize damage and restore safety.
For non-emergency work, we're just as reliable. Homeowners and businesses throughout Whittier trust us to show up on time, complete the job as quoted, and leave their properties cleaner than we found them. Whether you need one-time service or ongoing maintenance, we deliver professional results every time.
