Our Services
Tree care is especially important for appearance and health during the first 5 years of the tree’s lifetime, with pruning or trimming services around once a year. As it matures care can be a bit less often, with tree trimming primarily for hazard reduction.
Tree Trimming
Our professional tree trimming services improve appearance and structural integrity by removing dead wood and shortening or selectively removing branches. That also reduces hiding places for rodents and insects. Each tree service is expertly tailored to the species, its condition, and its proximity to your home.
Tree Removal
It’s sad to say, but sometimes tree removal is the best option when it becomes a hazard. Sometimes cabling and bracing just aren’t enough. Tree takedown may be necessary for a diseased or overgrown tree, one with cracks or splits, or one that’s suffered wind damage. Our expertise and equipment mean minimal disruption of your lawn and essentially no risk to your home or to utility lines.
Stump Grinding
After tree removal you’re left with a stump that’s a nuisance and actually a danger. Stump grinding is the fastest and often the most economical means of stump removal. We’ll bring in the right scale of equipment for thorough removal of the stump and main roots down to a depth of as much as 20 inches. That means the area is now fully available for lawn, a garden, or whatever you have in mind.
Pruning and Lacing
Whether pruning or trimming (using hand tools or power tools) we go for the best in both appearance and health. Requiring even more skill and care, lacing removes up to 1/4 of the canopy to create more air circulation, less resistance to wind, more light penetration, and a better view.
Palm Tree Trimming
Just like other trees and landscaping, palms need regular maintenance for the best appearance and health. We’ll remove seeds and dead fronds. Trimming can remove as much as 90% of old fronds, leaving only 2-3. Or we can leave your palm more full but better structured. It’s your choice.
Palm Tree Skinning
Palms skinned and trimmed properly look better and are much healthier. Palm trees are unique in their needs for trimming away dead fronds that otherwise pose a safety hazard when they eventually fall. Palm trimming also improves appearance, yet after several years thin remains show as a ragged zig-zag pattern. Our palm skinning removes that to restore a smooth and fashionable look.
Ornamental Pruning
Ornamental pruning is usually focused on trying to maintain the tree’s size with some light pruning. When it comes to how to prune flowering trees, removing the current year’s old, faded flowers and fruit will promote more flower buds to grow the following season.
Lot Clearance
When you need expert lot clearance in the Ventura and Los Angeles County area, look no further than Salim’s Tree Service. From public parks to residential areas, we have seen and done it all and have the experience you need to get the job done quickly and efficiently. Don’t let your cluttered or overgrown lot invite pests or pose a danger to your home or community.
Brush Clearning
Brush and other vegetation near your home pose a major hazard in case of a wildfire. So much so that local fire regulations specify brush clearing and other cleanup as far as 100 feet from structures. After having a look at your situation our experts will know exactly what’s necessary to protect your home and avoid fines.
From Our Clients
“Nice work! Salim and his team removed a few of trees for us recently in Newbury Park, it was a smooth experience and good work. Angela was friendly and coordinated our appointment, a couple of days later the trees were all gone. We will consider him for future work and routine trimming, thanks!”
“These guys are the real deal. Know their trees! Came exactly on time for the estimate. I even asked them to come back a second time to go over everything with my husband. They came back to do the job and did exactly what we discussed. We’re very happy. It was an all day job, lots of trees, and they cleaned up beautifully, even stuff they didn’t do! I will definitely be calling them back for next time!”
“These guys are great! Edgar, Salim and the team approached our tree trim (cypress hanging over the street) like artists. thoughtfully. a quick job and priced accordingly my “regular”guy wanted $500 bucks, then bumped it down to 350. These guys; 100 bones. 25 min. probably a new customer offer and certainly appreciated!”
