What we do
Tree removal
Full removal of dead, hazardous, leaning or unwanted trees, including tight spots near houses and fences.
Trimming and pruning
Crown cleaning, thinning and shaping for health, clearance from roofs and lines, and storm resistance.
Stump grinding
Stumps ground below grade so the spot can be replanted, sodded, or paved over.
Storm cleanup
Downed limbs and trees cleared after wind and storm events, with hazardous hangers dealt with first.
Lot and yard clearing
Overgrown lots, orchard removals, and clearance work for remodels and new construction.
Areas served
Chico neighborhoods including Downtown, the Avenues, California Park, and Amber Grove, plus Paradise, Oroville, Durham, and Hamilton City. Coverage depends on the provider on call.
What to expect
- Call or send the form and describe the tree — species if you know it, size, location, and what worries you about it.
- A locally serving tree professional visits, assesses the tree and the access, and gives a written price before work starts.
- The crew completes the work, cleans up debris, and leaves the site tidy — haul-away included unless you ask to keep the wood.
- You get straightforward advice on any remaining trees that may need attention soon.
Frequently asked questions
How much does tree removal cost?
It depends on size, location, and access — a small open-yard tree costs far less than a large tree over a roof. On-site assessment is the only honest way to price it, and you get the price in writing first.
Do I need a permit?
Most private residential tree work in Chico does not need a city permit, but heritage trees, street trees, and some HOA rules can change that. Your provider will flag it if it applies.
Is the crew insured?
Ask, and get the answer in writing before work starts. Any provider routed through this site is expected to carry liability coverage and to be upfront about it.
What happens to the wood and debris?
Standard cleanup and haul-away is included unless you ask to keep firewood or chips. Say so when you book if you want the wood left.
