We work on everything from small ornamental trees to massive oaks that require crane work. Emergency calls get priority because we know tree problems don’t wait for convenient timing. Regular maintenance keeps your trees healthy and reduces the chance of emergency situations.

How much does tree removal cost in West Hills?

Tree removal costs depend on size, location, and complexity, but most West Hills jobs range from $500 to $2,500. A small tree in an open area costs much less than a large tree hanging over your house or power lines. We provide free estimates so you know exactly what you’re paying before we start. The estimate includes removal, stump grinding if requested, and complete cleanup. No hidden fees or surprise charges after the work is done.

Do you provide emergency tree service after storms?

Yes, we handle emergency tree removal throughout West Hills, especially after storms. We prioritize calls where trees are blocking driveways, threatening structures, or creating safety hazards. Emergency response typically happens within 24 hours, often sooner for dangerous situations. We work with insurance companies regularly and can provide documentation you need for claims. Keep our number handy during storm season – tree emergencies don’t wait for business hours.

Will stump grinding damage my lawn or landscaping?

Professional stump grinding causes minimal lawn damage when done correctly. We use track machines that distribute weight evenly and work carefully around existing landscaping. The grinding process creates wood chips that can actually benefit your soil as they decompose. We clean up all debris and can provide topsoil to level the area if needed. Most homeowners are surprised how clean the process is when handled by experienced professionals with proper equipment.

What's the difference between tree trimming and pruning?

Trimming typically refers to cutting branches for appearance or clearance – like getting branches away from your house or power lines. Pruning is more focused on tree health, removing dead or diseased branches to help the tree grow properly. Both require understanding how trees respond to cuts. Poor cutting techniques can damage trees permanently or create hazardous weak points. We assess each tree’s needs and use proper techniques whether you need basic trimming or health-focused pruning.

Are you licensed and insured for tree work?

Yes, we maintain all required licenses and carry full liability insurance plus workers compensation coverage. This protects you if someone gets hurt on your property or if equipment causes accidental damage. Many homeowners don’t realize they can be liable for injuries when hiring uninsured tree services. We provide proof of insurance before starting work because legitimate tree companies should never ask you to take that risk. Always verify insurance before hiring any tree service.

How long does a typical tree removal take?

Most single tree removals take 2-6 hours depending on size and complexity. A small tree in an open yard might take just an hour, while a large tree near structures requires careful sectioning that takes most of a day. Multiple trees or extensive cleanup can extend the timeline. We give you realistic time estimates upfront and work efficiently to minimize disruption to your day. Weather can affect scheduling, but we communicate any delays promptly and reschedule when conditions are unsafe.
