Tree Trimming & Removal in Glendale

Glendale sits against the Verdugos, and that changes tree work more than anything else about the city. On a hillside lot the tree is often above the house rather than beside it, which means the wood comes downhill and the truck sits wherever the street allows — sometimes a long way from the trunk.

The canyon streets are the other half of it. In Chevy Chase Canyon or Glenoaks Canyon there is usually one spot the chipper can go, and everything else is carried.

Why local knowledge matters in Glendale

Fire clearance is a yearly question in Glendale rather than an occasional one. Dead wood in a crown, a limb lying on the roof, brush grown into the eaves — those are the first things anyone looking at a hillside property points at, and they are the cheapest things on the list to fix.

The trees themselves lean heavy here. Eucalyptus and pine on the slopes put a lot of weight out on the ends of long limbs, and that is the shape that fails first when the wind comes up through the canyon. Thinning takes the weight back toward the trunk, which is a different job from cutting the tree shorter.

• Hillside lots against the Verdugos, where a tree is often above the house rather than beside it and the wood has to come downhill to the truck
• Brush and fire clearance is a yearly question here, not an occasional one, and dead wood over a roof is the first thing anyone inspecting will point at
• Eucalyptus and pine on the slopes, both of which shed heavy limbs when they are carrying too much weight on the ends
• Narrow canyon streets where there is one place the chipper can sit and everything else is a walk
