How much does it cost to trim a tree in Los Angeles?
Determining the cost of tree trimming in Los Angeles can be challenging due to various factors. Factors such as safety considerations, location, and the tree's growth patterns all play a role. Trees in front yards are typically more affordable due to proximity to equipment, while backyard trees near power lines may pose additional risks. Costs are influenced by time, risk, hazards, and property value. Our industry faces high insurance premiums due to the inherent dangers; we prioritize safety, given the risks involved in our work, making tree trimming prices reflective of these factors.

Does my tree need trimming?
While not mandatory, trees benefit from trimming. A balanced approach, removing about 15-20% of the branches, allows for natural growth and creates a microclimate supporting biodiversity. Dead or diseased and dysfunctional branches should also be removed which will reduce weight and load on the canopy. This will also open up space for light which will intern promote new shoots to grow. The frequency depends on the tree's location and species, considering factors like sunlight availability. Ideally, we aim for minimal stress on the tree to promote healthy growth.
How often should trees be trimmed?
Trimming frequency depends on the tree's location and species. Trees in shaded areas grow slower than those in direct sunlight. Keeping a canopy fosters a microclimate that supports life in and around the tree. We recommend allowing trees to grow within their biosphere for three to five years after trimming to avoid stressing the tree. If trees are encroaching onto the home or around power lines, they may need yearly maintenance.
What happens if you don't trim a tree?
Neglecting tree trimming may lead to the tree self-trimming (sudden limb drop) or external forces causing limb failure. Weight and Wind are the two main factors in limb or tree failure. The limbs can become very heavy from leaves, fruit, or snow and when it is combine with wind, it usually results in failure. All trees are different, we focus on risk assessment and work with homeowners to decide on acceptable risk levels, mitigation options to reducing potential hazards.
Can I trim a neighbor’s overhanging tree branches in California?
In California, tree ownership is determined by where the trunk and roots grow. The owner bears the “duty of care” to maintain the tree's health and safety, even if branches or roots extend beyond property lines. If a neighbor were to cut a branch that overhangs onto his property without permission, the homeowner can file for damages on the neighbor who cut the tree. Communication with neighbors is vital before pruning, as unauthorized trimming can lead to legal repercussions.
