Everything your trees need, done right
Complete urban tree care from ISA Certified Arborists — with free estimates on every job.
Tree Trimming & Pruning
Proper pruning is the single best thing you can do for a mature tree. Our arborists follow ISA and ANSI A300 standards — no topping, no lion-tailing — to reduce wind load, remove deadwood and improve structure.
- Crown cleaning & deadwooding
- Crown raising for clearance
- Crown thinning & reduction
- Palm skinning & frond removal
- Fruit & ornamental tree pruning
- View & utility clearance
Tree Removal
When a tree is dead, diseased, structurally unsound or simply in the wrong place, our crews remove it safely — piece by piece over structures, or with aerial lifts and cranes when access allows.
- Hazardous & dead tree removal
- Tight-access backyard removals
- Crane & aerial lift work
- Palm and eucalyptus removal
- Lot clearing for construction

Stump Grinding
A leftover stump is a tripping hazard and a magnet for pests. We grind stumps and surface roots below grade and can backfill so you can replant, lay sod or hardscape.

- Access through narrow gates

Common questions
Are your estimates really free?
Yes. An estimator — often a Certified Arborist — will visit your property, look at the trees with you and provide a written quote at no cost or obligation.
How often should my trees be trimmed?
Most mature landscape trees in Southern California benefit from pruning every 2–3 years; palms and fast-growing species may need annual attention. We can set you up on an annual trimming cycle so you never have to think about it.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree?
It depends on your city and whether the tree is a protected species or a city parkway tree. We'll let you know during the estimate and can provide the arborist report many cities require.
Are you licensed and insured?
Absolutely. V&E is a California-licensed landscape contractor (#654506, C-27/D-49/C-61) and fully insured. Certificates of insurance are available on request.
What happens to the wood and debris?
We haul it away and recycle approximately 95% of it — most becomes mulch and wood chips at our Orange yard.
Do you handle emergencies?
Yes. Call the office at (714) 997-0903 and we'll get a crew to you as quickly as possible to make the situation safe.
