Tree Trimming in Long Beach, CA

Crown thinning, deadwood out, and weight taken off the limbs that need it — Long Beach, Los Angeles County.

Wind decides trimming in Long Beach. A crown that has closed up acts like a sail, and the limbs loaded out at the ends are the ones that go. Steady coastal wind does not need a storm to find them.

Thinning opens the crown so air moves through it and brings the weight back toward the trunk. It is not the same as cutting the tree shorter, and it leaves the tree looking like itself afterwards.

Tree Trimming & Thinning in Long Beach

Steady wind is harder on a closed crown than a gust is, because it never lets up — the tree is leaning on the same limbs all day.

Palms everywhere and most of them tall — queen and Mexican fan palms well past the reach of any ladder
Wind off the water, which finds the trees carrying too much weight before it finds anything else
Salt air on the coastal side, hard on a tree already under stress and on anything left dead in the crown
Narrow lots with alley access in the older neighbourhoods, where the alley is the working side of the job

Questions about tree trimming & thinning in Long Beach

My tree leans toward the house. Is that dangerous?

A lean is not automatically a problem — many trees grow into one and are perfectly sound. What matters is what is holding it up and how much weight is out on that side. Worth a look rather than a guess.

Will thinning make it less likely to come down in wind?

It reduces what the wind can push on, which is the part we can change. Nothing makes a tree wind-proof, and anyone who tells you otherwise is selling something.
