"The crew showed up on time and had a large oak out of my backyard by 2pm - the same day I called. They laid tarps on the slope before they started, and you could barely tell they'd been there by the time they left. Really impressed with how they handled a tricky hillside location."
Michael R., Los Altos Hills - Tree removal
"I had two coast live oaks that needed trimming before fire season. They checked whether a permit was needed before scheduling anything, which most companies don't bother to do. The finished trees looked natural, not hacked back. They'll be my go-to from now on."
Sandra K., Palo Alto - Tree trimming
"We had three stumps left over from trees removed years ago. They ground all three in a single visit, and the access to one of them was through a narrow gate on a slope. No drama, no upcharges, just the price we agreed on. Would recommend to any neighbor in the area."
James T., Saratoga - Stump grinding

Learn more about our companyA certified arborist can tell you whether a tree is genuinely a hazard or whether targeted pruning would solve the problem. Removing a tree that could have been saved is an unnecessary expense and a permanent change to your property. Getting an honest assessment first is worth the time.
The Bay Area has experienced repeated drought cycles, and many trees in Los Altos Hills that survived dry years are now showing delayed stress - thin canopies, bark that is peeling or cracking, or branches that simply stopped leafing out. A tree stressed for two or more seasons may not recover.
A professional crew chips the branches on-site and hauls away the debris, or stacks wood if you want it for firewood. You should not be left with a pile of brush or scattered wood chips. Ask before the job starts whether full cleanup and haul-away are included in the quote.

Los Altos Hills is an incorporated town in Santa Clara County with a population of roughly 8,000 residents. The town sits in the foothills of the Santa Cruz Mountains, bordered by Palo Alto, Los Altos, and Cupertino. Every residential property in town must be at least one acre, which means heavily wooded lots, long private driveways, and mature trees close to structures are the norm rather than the exception.
Some of the most recognizable landmarks in town sit within walking or driving distance of the properties we serve. Rancho San Antonio Open Space Preserve borders the western edge of Los Altos Hills and is one of the most visited open spaces in the Bay Area. Foothill College sits directly within town limits. Winding roads like Page Mill Road connect hillside neighborhoods all the way up into the mountains, passing through some of the steepest and most wooded residential properties in the area.
Most homes in Los Altos Hills were built between the 1950s and 1980s, and a significant share of the mature oaks and bay laurels on these properties have been standing for just as long. The town is classified as a High or Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone by CAL FIRE, which means defensible space maintenance and proper tree care are not optional - they are part of living here responsibly.Los Altos Hills Tree Service has been serving this community since 2016, and we know the terrain, the ordinances, and the expectations that come with working on properties in Los Altos Hills.
