Tree & Stump Removal

Safe, Professional Tree Removal in the East Bay

Tree removal is sometimes the safest choice for protecting your property and landscape. Whether it’s a tree weakened by disease, damaged in a storm, or growing too close to a structure, our crews handle removals with care and precision. With more than 40 years of experience serving Contra Costa County, we understand the challenges of East Bay trees and provide solutions that keep your home or business safe.

Our team uses specialized equipment—including cranes for large or high-risk removals—along with industry best practices to complete the job efficiently and safely. We also provide stump grinding to leave your property clear and ready for new plantings or improvements.

No matter the size or complexity, you can count on us for professional tree and stump removal done right.

Stump Removal & Grinding

After a tree is removed, stumps can be both unsightly and hazardous. Our stump grinding service eliminates tripping risks, prevents regrowth, and leaves your East Bay property ready for replanting or improvements.

Land & Lot Clearing

Whether you’re preparing for construction, landscaping, or fire abatement, we provide efficient land and lot clearing to remove unwanted trees and vegetation. Our crews complete projects of all sizes while minimizing disruption to the surrounding area.

Crane Service for Large or Hazardous Trees

Proper pruning is essential to promoting tree health, enhancing beauty, and ensuring safety. Conducted with care and expertise, pruning helps preserve a tree’s structure, supports robust growth, and refines its natural shape. Thoughtful pruning also minimizes the risk of falling limbs during severe weather, protecting your property and helping your trees thrive for years to come.

Emergency Tree Removal

Storms and unexpected failures can bring trees down without warning, blocking access or creating dangerous conditions. Our crews are available for fast, professional emergency removals across the East Bay, restoring safety to your property when it matters most.

When Is Tree Removal Necessary?

While preservation is always the first goal, certain situations make tree removal the safest and most practical option. In the East Bay, seasonal challenges like winter storms and prolonged drought often accelerate structural decline, increasing the need for timely removals. Taking action at the right time protects your property, surrounding trees, and the people who live or work nearby. Common reasons include:

  • Severe structural damage or decay – Cracks, cavities, or internal rot can weaken a tree beyond safe recovery.
  • Storm or wind damage – Diablo winds and heavy rains often destabilize older or shallow-rooted trees.
  • Root system failure – Shifting soil, poor drainage, or construction impact can compromise root anchoring and lead to leaning or uprooting.
  • Disease or pest infestation – Advanced cases of oak root fungus, bark beetle, or longhorned borer can kill or destabilize trees.
  • Obstruction or interference – Trees growing too close to homes, driveways, or utility lines may require removal for safety or clearance.
  • Decline from drought stress – Extended dry seasons can cause dieback, leaf loss, and structural brittleness that make failure more likely.
  • Overcrowding or construction needs – In urban and suburban areas, removals may be necessary to make room for new plantings, development, or improved spacing.

Our Tree Removal Process

The removal process using a crane typically involves the following steps:

Assessment

A Certified Arborist evaluates the tree’s condition, location, and surroundings to determine the safest and most efficient removal plan.

Setup

Our crews prepare the work zone with proper equipment, safety measures, and protection for nearby structures and landscaping.

Removal

Using industry best practices and specialized tools, we carefully remove the tree in sections to minimize risk and disruption.

Disposal

All debris is chipped, hauled, or recycled responsibly, leaving your property clean and ready for its next use.
