Tree Removal in Pasadena, CA

Taken down in sections and rigged, not dropped — Pasadena, Los Angeles County.

Start with the part most people are not told: in Pasadena a lot of trees are protected, and a native oak or a street tree is not automatically yours to remove because it stands on your lot. We will tell you at the estimate if we think yours is one of them, and what you would need to ask the city.

Where a removal is the right answer, it comes apart from the top on ropes — limbs lowered in pieces, then the trunk in rounds — because between these houses and their fences there is nowhere to lay a tree down.

Tree Removal in Pasadena

A protected tree removed without asking is a problem that lands on the homeowner, not on the crew that took it down, which is why we raise it first.

Some of the oldest and largest trees in the county — coast live oaks and deodar cedars that were mature before the houses under them were built
Many of those trees are protected, so a removal here can be a question for the city before it is a question for a crew
Craftsman houses with deep eaves and low roofs, which puts limbs onto the roof itself rather than merely over it
Big canopies over narrow older streets, so almost everything is rigged and lowered rather than dropped

Questions about tree removal in Pasadena

Do I need permission to remove a tree in Pasadena?

Often, yes — this city protects a lot of its trees, particularly natives and anything in the parkway. We are not the ones who decide it, so we will tell you honestly when we think yours needs checking with the city before anybody touches it.

It is dying. Does it have to come out?

Not always. A tree can lose a lot and still be worth keeping, and dead wood out of the crown is often the whole job. We will say which one we think it is.
