Tree services in Yuba-Sutter
From a dead tree by the house to an old stump in the lawn, here's what each service covers and when it's the one you need.
When a tree is dead, rotting at the base, cracked after a storm, or leaning toward the house, it's time for it to come down. A licensed crew takes it apart in sections from the top and lowers each piece on ropes, so the roof, fence, and lawn stay untouched.
Good trimming takes off only what needs to go, like dead branches, limbs over the roof, and growth crowding the line to the house. Each cut is made where the branch meets the trunk, so the tree heals cleanly, keeps its natural shape, and holds up in winter wind.
A leftover stump trips the mower, sends up new shoots, and draws termites and fungus. Stump grinding takes it down below the soil along with the surface roots around it, and the chips are raked in or hauled off so the spot is ready for sod, seed, or a new tree.
When a storm brings a tree or a big limb down on your house, car, fence, or driveway, it has to come off carefully before more damage is done. The tree company takes it apart piece by piece, clears the debris, and leaves the yard safe to use again.
Not sure which one?
Match what you see in the yard to the job that fixes it. If it sounds like more than one, mention both in your request and the crew will sort it out.
A dead tree dries out and turns brittle, and big limbs can drop without warning. Taking it down is the safe fix.
Tree removalA new lean, cracked soil at the base, or roots lifting out of the lawn mean the tree is losing its hold.
Tree removalLimbs over the house scrape shingles, fill the gutters, and let squirrels onto the roof. Trimming clears them back.
Tree trimming and pruningBroken or dead branches caught up high can fall in the next wind. Trimming takes them out before they come down.
Tree trimming and pruningA stump left in the lawn trips the mower and draws termites. Grinding takes it below the soil so grass can grow back.
Stump grinding and removalSome trees push up new shoots from the stump and roots for years. Grinding out the stump stops most of them.
Stump grinding and removalA trunk split down the middle or a limb hanging by a strip of bark can let go any time. Keep clear and get help fast.
Emergency tree removalA tree on the roof, a car, or across the driveway needs careful removal so it doesn't cause more damage coming off.

Common questions
What to ask about trimming, tree removal, stump grinding, and cleanup, plus how to get your yard ready for the crew.
It covers tree trimming and pruning, tree removal, stump grinding, and cleanup when a storm brings a tree or limb down. Our partner, a licensed local tree company, handles all four.
Trimming cuts back branches and leaves the tree standing. Removal takes the whole tree down, usually in sections, and the stump is often its own line on the quote. If you can't tell which yours needs, the tree company will say once they've seen it.
Most people use the words the same way. Pruning usually means careful cuts for the tree's health and shape, while trimming often means cutting growth back for clearance, like limbs over the roof, the driveway, or a walkway.
Not always. Many removal quotes stop at ground level and list stump grinding as its own item. If you want the stump gone too, say so when you ask for a quote, and check that the written quote shows it before the work starts.
Yes. Mention everything when you ask for a quote, like a tree to take down, two to trim back, and an old stump by the fence. The tree company can look at it all together and list each job and its price on the written quote.
Lines along the street are PG&E's to clear, so call PG&E at 1-800-743-5000 about those. PG&E asks everyone, tree crews included, to call before working within 10 feet of a line, so mention any nearby lines in your request.
Most jobs end with the branches chipped and the wood hauled off, though some people like to keep a few logs for firewood. Say what you want when you ask for a quote, and make sure the written quote spells out the cleanup.
Move cars, patio furniture, and planters away from the tree, and keep kids and pets inside while the crew works. Unlock any side gates, and give the neighbors a heads-up if branches hang over their side.
