We would provide you with complete records of your tree population along with maintenances and management proposals.
We proudly manage the trees of the 24th St, Noe Valley, San Francisco.
Tree Structure Evaluation
Tree structure evaluation:
Needless to say , trees provide our communities and properties with priceless benefits. However when aging, trees are more subject to structure alteration that could create hazardous situations.
Often due to wood decay, wind exposure, weight and poor internal structure it is important to regularly have trees checked for structure evaluation to prevent personal injury, property damage and preserve tree health integrity.
The solutions range from cabling and bracing to limiting branch movements, reducing weight or removing specifics limbs. Sometimes it is necessary to remove the whole tree.
Our consultation provides you with a description and solution(s) to remediate vulnerabilities.
Mature trees could generate hazardous situation and need to be regularly checked.
Tree Selection
Tree selection:
This is certainly the most important factor of success to obtain a desirable, lasting and healthy tree. Many of the tree problems that we encounter in our daily routine can be traced back to a malfunctioning tree selection process or worse, an absence of selection.
We provide you with a list of tree recommendations that we establish based on factors such as sun & wind exposure, soil condition, size of the mature tree along with a proposal to have the tree(s) furnished and planted.
Tree Planting
Tree planting:
Planting trees for an Arborist is certainly the most rewarding activity.
We have planted many trees during our years in business and watching them grow is extremely rewarding.
Based upon thorough tree selection we will provide you with best quality trees, chosen in nurseries for their roots, structures and aesthetic qualities. Before planting, we check the roots system and apply proper roots pruning if necessary.
When planting we choose the best orientation based on the trees structural developments in order to minimize the impact with its surrounding.
We have also planted many trees for the Noe Valley Neighborhood Association.
Street Trees
Street trees services:
Street trees contribute enormously in magnifying the City and we take pride and honor in taking care of them.
While they are privately owned, street trees enter in the public domain and are subject to specific and strict jurisdiction that is intended to avoid tree molestation, unjustified removal, inadequate tree selection, etc.
Our services provide best advices in accordance with the city legislation, tree selection, tree planting, pruning, maintenance plan and tree removal.
We also proudly maintain the tree population for the 24th St Neighborhood Association in San Francisco.
Tree Removal
Tree Removal:
We highly valuate the life of trees and do all we can to preserve them. However it is sometimes unavoidable to conduct a complete removal.
There are numerous reasons that make a removal needful; any dead or dying trees, any trees that would become hazardous and couldnt be preserved.
In addition, a removal could be required to allow new constructions, if a tree generates problems to existing buildings or simply to concede more sunlight to reach buildings, solar panels or landscapes.
Removal remains a drastic operation and we would study all alternate scenarios to ensure the best answer for each situation.
Removals constitute a difficult operation that involves a collection of dangers. We have the necessary skill and experience to ensure the operation to be performed under best available safety practices. We have earned the Certified Treecare Safety Professional certification delivered by the Tree Care Industry Association. Also we do all we can to preserve surrounding plants and we carefully evacuate and clean out all debris.
Cabling and Bracing
Cabling and bracing:
The laying of cables and braces are sometimes rendered necessary to prevent trees from splitting or substantial branches from falling.
They are intended to strengthen the structure of a tree and to reduce branches movement during a storm.
Along with the settlements of cables or braces, it is also sometimes recommended to prune the outer crown of a targeted tree to reduce its weight and attenuate the risks.
Our tree structure evaluation will determine what the safest and most appropriated solutions are for all specific problems and configurations.
Yard Cleaning
Yards Cleaning:
Needless to say, an outdoor space provides us with priceless gratifications. In the same time, yards needs frequent maintenance and cleaning for best results.
The vegetation can easily take over the yard if no work is done for a period of time.

We also fix weeds prevention fabric and bring mulch, wood chips or even gravels.
While landscape design, automatic watering system, landscape construction are not part of our services, we collaborate with professional landscapers that could assist you with your specific needs.
Tree Maintenance
Tree Maintenance:
In accordance with best arboriculture practices, mature trees should not be pruned too severely.
Unfortunately, our experience clearly shows that too much time is passing between each intervention. In many cases trees are already overgrown and we are obliged to remove a too large portion of the crown in our effort to best conciliate our customers and trees needs.
In order to avoid such situation, a good solution is to let us have your tree into our schedule. We would advise you with most suited maintenance plan and frequency.
When it gets time to do it we would call you ahead of time prior to perform the work.
In addition, trees structures evaluation is performed during each services and any problem can be early detected and fixed.

Tree Pruning
Tree Pruning:
Pruning represents an important part of our activities; it is the tool in which we render the integration of the trees possible in our modern urban environment. Indeed, it is by using proper pruning techniques that we control their growths, their structures and the dangers due to their presences in our cities. Pruning is the way in which we domesticate the urban tree population.
The most commonly used method consists in pruning the outer crow of a tree while thinning it at the same time. It is the one that most preserve the natural shape and aspect of a tree while controlling its growth and intrinsic danger. During each of our pruning intervention we also remove all branches that are dead, dying, diseased or cracked. Also we always eliminate structural deficiencies.
It exists numerous pruning techniques that are designed to obtain specific results.
Here the list of all the different pruning that we offer:
• Structural & Safety pruning • Crown restoration • Crown shaping • Crown reduction
• Crown pruning and thinning • Crown cleaning • Crown raising • Vista pruning
• Fruit tree pruning • Topiary • Hedge pruning • Palm trimming
