The "All About Arbor" Safety Promise
Before we start any chainsaw, let's talk about your protection. Tree work is dangerous, and you shouldn't carry that liability. All About Arbor is fully Licensed, Bonded, and Insured. We carry complete Worker's Compensation for every crew member. If a branch falls the wrong way-it won't, but if it did-you and your assets are 100% covered. We prioritize safety equipment and strict protocols so you can sleep soundly.
Tree Removal
Sacramento is the City of Trees, but when a 100-foot Elm in Midtown starts rotting from the inside, it becomes a liability. We specialize in surgical tree removal. This isn't about hacking away at a trunk; it's about dismantling a heavy structure piece by piece without touching your fence or your rose bushes.
We handle the tough jobs other crews walk away from. Whether you have a Modesto Ash dropping heavy limbs in East Sacramento or a leaning Pine threatening a neighbor's garage in Pocket-Greenhaven, we have the rigging gear to handle it.
Large Tree Removal: We use advanced rigging techniques (ropes and pulleys) to lower heavy logs slowly, rather than letting them crash down and dent your lawn.
Hazardous Limb Removal: We identify and cut dead branches that are one strong wind gust away from snapping.
Root Removal: If roots are cracking your driveway or invading your sewer line, we extract the problem at the source.
Brush Removal & Fire Safety
Dry grass and overgrown shrubs are a fire hazard, especially during our scorching Sacramento summers. If your backyard in Natomas or Arden-Arcade has turned into a jungle, our Brush Removal service resets the clock.
We clear out dense undergrowth, blackberry bushes, and volunteer saplings that choke out your healthy plants. This isn't just aesthetic; it creates a defensible space around your home, meeting local fire codes and keeping your insurance premiums in check.
Fire Break Creation: Clearing a perimeter to slow down potential grass fires.
Invasive Species Control: Removing aggressive plants that take over your yard.
Tree Cutting
Sometimes you don't need the whole tree gone; you just need to manage the weight. Our Tree Cutting services focus on the health of the tree and the safety of the people below it. We understand local biology, including the "Sudden Limb Drop" phenomenon common in Valley Oaks during high heat.
We perform Canopy Thinning, which simply means selectively cutting branches to let wind pass through the tree safely. This reduces the "sail effect" during winter storms, keeping the tree standing upright.
Structural Pruning: Training young trees to grow with a strong central leader.
Dead-wooding: removing dead or dying branches before they become a hazard.
Clearance Trimming: Cutting back branches that are rubbing against your roof shingles or touching power drop lines.
Lot Clearing
Are you planning a new construction project or an ADU in your backyard? You can't pour a foundation until the ground is clear. Our Lot Clearing service strips the land down to bare earth efficiently.
We bring in the heavy equipment to remove trees, shrubs, stumps, and debris in a single pass. We work directly with general contractors and homeowners to prep sites across the Greater Sacramento area, from Elk Grove to Roseville.
Debris Haul Away: We don't leave piles of slash. We mulch it or haul it away completely.
Grading Prep: Leaving the surface level and ready for the excavation team.
Crane Tree Removal
Some trees are simply impossible to reach from the ground. Maybe you have a massive Redwood sandwiched between your pool and your back fence. This is where our Crane Tree Removal service comes in.
Using a crane allows us to lift entire tree sections vertically, carrying them over your house and placing them gently in the street for chipping. It is the safest method for tight spaces because zero debris hits the ground in your yard.
Zero-Impact Removal: ideal for homes with expensive landscaping or limited access.
High-Risk Situations: Perfect for trees that are too unstable to climb safely.
Land Clearing
For larger commercial properties or acreage in the outer suburbs, we offer full-scale Land Clearing. This is heavy-duty forestry work. We use forestry mulchers and commercial-grade chippers to turn acres of overgrowth into usable land.
Whether you are reclaiming a pasture or prepping a commercial lot for development, we have the horsepower to get it done on schedule.
Right-of-Way Clearing: Keeping access roads and utility lines clear.
Site Preparation: Total vegetation management for development projects.
Stump Grinding & Property Protection
Once the tree is down, you are left with an ugly stump. We don't leave the job half-done. Our Stump Grinding service grinds the stump 6 to 12 inches below the soil line. This allows you to replant grass, lay sod, or even plant a new tree in the same spot.
How We Protect Your Yard:
Homeowners often worry about heavy machinery ruining their grass. We take that concern seriously. We use plywood mats to create a temporary road for our equipment, distributing the weight so we don't leave tire ruts in your lawn. We treat your property like it's our own-when we leave, the only evidence we were there is the missing tree.
We take the guesswork out of tree work. Here is how we handle every job in Sacramento:
1. Site Assessment & Hazard Check: We inspect the tree's structural integrity and check for pests like Palm Rats, which love nesting in overgrown fan palms.
2. Permit Verification: Sacramento has strict rules protecting trees. We help you check if your tree is a "Heritage Tree" (typically Oaks over 32 inches in diameter) and handle the City of Sacramento Urban Forestry permit paperwork if needed.
3. Written Safety Plan: We determine the drop zone and rigging points before a single cut is made.
4. Surgical Removal & Cleanup: We cut, chip, and clean. We rake the yard and blow off the driveway before we ask for payment.
We know you want a flat number, but every tree is different. The cost depends on three main factors:
1. Size and Type: A skinny Pine is cheaper to remove than a sprawling Oak with heavy lateral branches.
2. Access: Can we pull our chipper right up to the tree, or do we have to hand-carry logs through a narrow side gate? Harder access increases labor time.
3. Hazard Level: Trees near power lines or overhanging roofs require more technical rigging and time to remove safely.
We provide free, transparent estimates so you know exactly what the job entails with no surprise fees.
Q: Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Sacramento?
A: It depends on the tree. Private protected trees, often called "Heritage Trees" (usually native oaks with a diameter of 32 inches or more), require a permit from the City. We can measure your tree and tell you immediately if a permit is required.
Q: Does homeowners insurance cover tree removal?
A: Typically, insurance covers removal only if the tree has fallen on a structure (like your house or fence) or is blocking a driveway. They usually do not cover preventative removal of a living tree, even if it looks scary. Check your specific policy.
Q: How quickly can you get here for an emergency?
A: We offer 24/7 Emergency Tree Service. If a storm puts a tree on your roof, call us immediately. We prioritize active hazards to secure your home.
Don't wait until the next big storm turns that leaning branch into a living room decoration. Contact All About Arbor today. We will come out, look at the tree, and give you an honest, foreman-to-homeowner assessment.
