Tree Shaping & Maintenance in Long Beach

Kept in shape on a schedule instead of fixed once it is a problem — Long Beach, Los Angeles County.

In a windy place the argument for regular maintenance is simple: a crown that never closes up is a crown the wind cannot push on. Coming once a year keeps the ends light and the dead wood out, and the tree never reaches the shape that fails.

It is also far cheaper than the alternative, which is a removal and a cleanup after a limb has already gone through something.

Shaping & Regular Maintenance in Long Beach

The tree that comes down in a Long Beach wind is almost never a surprise — it is the one nobody thinned, carrying its weight out at the ends.

Palms everywhere and most of them tall — queen and Mexican fan palms well past the reach of any ladder
Wind off the water, which finds the trees carrying too much weight before it finds anything else
Salt air on the coastal side, hard on a tree already under stress and on anything left dead in the crown
Narrow lots with alley access in the older neighbourhoods, where the alley is the working side of the job

Questions about shaping & regular maintenance in Long Beach

How often should it be done here?

Once a year for most trees, and palms on the same schedule. Anything over the roof is worth looking at more often.

Can you keep it from getting bigger?

We can hold it at a size with reduction cuts back to growth points. Topping is the one thing we will not do — the regrowth is weaker and heavier than what was there, which is the last thing you want in wind.
