Idyllwild Tree Trimming, Removal & Defensible Space
We work safely on steep lots and near structures, building defensible space and removing hazard trees when necessary:
- Defensible space planning (Zones 0–2)
- Pine and oak health pruning
- Selective thinning & ladder fuel reduction
- Sectional removals near homes & utilities
- Storm cleanup & hazard limb removal
- Driveway and roofline clearance pruning
- Weed abatement (grasses, brush, fire-code compliance)
- Junk & debris removal with chip/haul-off
- Same-day chip/haul-off in most cases
Permits, Safety & Compliance
- Power lines: CPUC General Order 95 requires clearances around energized lines. We coordinate with utilities to prune safely and legally.
- Wildfire defensible space: In hillside or mountain areas, PRC §4291 requires up to 100 ft of defensible space. We thin brush and prune trees to help protect your property.
- Permits: Local regulations may require permits for street or protected trees. We’ll advise and assist where needed.
- Weed abatement: Annual notices may be issued for vacant lots or improved parcels. We clear grasses/brush to keep you compliant.
- Junk removal: Yard debris, branches, and dead shrubs are hauled away so your property is safe and clean.
These notes are general guidelines. Local rules may vary—our estimator will confirm what applies at your property.
