When it comes to caring for the trees on your property, you may have some questions. As your local tree experts serving San Jose, San Ramon, Fremont, Los Gatos, and the surrounding Bay Area, we at Majestic Tree Service hear many of the same concerns from home and business owners, as well as property managers. That’s why we’ve put together this helpful guide to answer the most common questions about tree service.
Whether you’re dealing with an overgrown oak, a troublesome palm, or a tree that’s seen better days, we’re here to help you understand your options.
Yes, we do! And getting started is easy. Just give us a call, send us an email, or fill out our contact form here.
Yes, complete cleanup is always included in our tree services. Our team will remove trimmed branches, cut wood, and any other debris from your outdoor area.
Our crews arrive fully equipped with professional-grade equipment to handle jobs of any size safely and efficiently.
For tree trimming and pruning, we use a variety of hand tools and power equipment, such as chainsaws, pole saws, and hand pruners. And for larger jobs and tree removals, we bring in cranes, wood chippers, and stump grinders.
For most tree work, late fall through early spring is ideal. Trees are dormant during this time, so it’s easier to see their branch structure.
However, there are some exceptions, and some trees respond better to summer pruning. Also, dead or hazardous branches should be removed as soon as they’re noticed, no matter what time of year it is. And if a storm damages your tree or a branch is threatening your home, you should get help right away. We’re available 24/7 for any tree emergency.
Native oaks are a natural choice and do wonderfully here with our mild, wet winters and warm, dry summers. Species like coast live oak and valley oak are adapted to our rainfall patterns and support local wildlife. California native trees like bay laurel and western redbud are also excellent options.
If you’re looking for something with seasonal color, consider trees like Chinese pistache, which offers stunning fall foliage, or flowering plum for spring blossoms. Fruit trees like citrus, apple, and fig also do well in many parts of San Jose and San Ramon, though they may need some extra attention.
If you notice branches growing close to power lines (on or near your property), the first step is to contact your local utility company. In many cases, the utility is responsible for trimming trees that interfere with their lines.
Generally, you have the right to trim branches from a neighbor’s tree that cross onto your property. However, you can only trim up to the property line.
