Oak tree pruning

Blue, valley and live oaks, each in its own season. The page explains why leaf-droppers get cut in winter and evergreens in summer, plus the county's oak rules.

Crown raising over driveways and sidewalks

For limbs that scrape cars or make people duck. It covers how high to lift, the fire-safe driveway numbers, and why it's done in steps.

Limbs over the roof

For branches on the shingles, needles in the gutters, or wood close to the chimney. The local 10-foot chimney rule is spelled out there.

Trimming near power lines

Find out which line belongs to PG&E, which one is yours, and how the free power shutoff works.

Yard and street trees

For crape myrtles, flowering pears, sycamores and other planted trees in the subdivisions. Diseases, timing and why topping is a bad idea.

Drought-stressed and buggy trees

For thin crowns, brown tips and sap blobs on pines. What to water, what to trim, and when to wait.

Not sure about timing?

Our season-by-season guide lays out when each kind of tree should be cut, and why.

What about taking a tree down?

Our focus here is healthy trees that stay standing. If a pro looks at your tree and thinks it should come out, they'll tell you, and the price comes from them. Just remember that oaks and CC&R streets may need a check first.

Prices at a glance

National guides put trimming one tree at about $400 to $900 on average. HomeGuide says lots of outfits won't take a job below a set floor, often $100 to $300 or higher. Grouping small jobs gets around that. See the price table on our home page for more.
