FAQs
Tree Pruning & Removal
How do I know if a tree needs to be removed?
A tree may need removal if it is dead, severely diseased, leaning dangerously, or causing damage to property structures. Other signs include large cracks in the trunk, hollow sections, or significant root damage. At CLTP, our licensed team provides professional assessments to determine whether pruning or full removal is the safest option.
How often should trees be pruned?
Most trees benefit from pruning every 2–5 years, depending on the species, size, and health. Regular pruning helps maintain tree structure, removes hazardous branches, and encourages healthy growth. Fast-growing species may require more frequent care, while mature trees may need less frequent maintenance.
Is tree removal dangerous to do on my own?
Yes. Tree removal is one of the most hazardous outdoor tasks and should always be handled by licensed and insured professionals. It requires specialized equipment, safety gear, and training to prevent property damage and personal injury. CLTP’s crews follow strict safety standards for every removal.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Monterey County or the Bay Area?
In many cases, yes. Some trees are protected by city or county ordinances, especially heritage or street trees. CLTP helps clients navigate the permitting process by providing reports, documentation, and guidance to ensure compliance with local regulations.
What happens to the tree after it’s removed?
After removal, CLTP offers full cleanup and hauling services. Depending on your preference, wood can be chipped into mulch, cut into firewood, or completely removed from the property. We also offer stump grinding to fully clear the space for replanting or landscaping.
