Licensed Tree Removal & Care in Redwood City, CA
Professional Tree Care Services – Redwood City, CA
From the heritage oaks of Emerald Hills and Farm Hills to the mature street trees of established downtown neighborhoods, Redwood City properties carry some of the most valuable canopy on the Mid-Peninsula. Precision Tree Care Inc. is a fully licensed and insured local company providing expert tree trimming and pruning, safe tree and emergency removal, stump grinding, brush clearing, crown reduction and thinning, palm care, and certified arborist reports for permits, property sales, and insurance claims.
Because Redwood City enforces a tree preservation ordinance, removing or heavily pruning protected trees often requires documentation and approval, and our ISA Certified Arborist guides homeowners through that process from start to finish. We also handle challenging removals near homes and power lines, cabling and bracing for leaning or split trees, and fire-prevention vegetation work. Every estimate includes dump fees and haul-away with no hidden charges, and we leave your property completely clean, so you can trust Precision Tree Care for work done to the highest standard.

Tree Care in Redwood City: One Rule for Every Tree
Redwood City keeps its tree law simple and broad: under City Code Chapter 35, any tree on private property larger than 38 inches around the trunk (about 12 inches in diameter) is protected, whatever the species. A permit is required to remove or do significant work on a protected tree – the good news is the city charges no permit fee and typically processes applications in about ten working days. Skipping the process is the expensive route: fines run per tree, and the city can require replacement plantings equal to the removed tree’s full appraised value. We fold the permit step into every Redwood City job, with our ISA Certified Arborist providing the assessment and documentation that supports a clean approval.
From the Shores to the Hills
Redwood City spans two different tree worlds. On the bay side, Redwood Shores is planted landscape on engineered ground – ornamentals, pines, and street trees with lifted sidewalks and wind exposure. West of El Camino, Mount Carmel, Woodside Plaza, and Farm Hill climb into genuine oak and madrone country, and just beyond the city line, unincorporated Emerald Hills carries classic wildland-urban interface conditions (county rules apply there – we work both jurisdictions and keep the paperwork straight). The 2025 CAL FIRE maps eliminated Redwood City’s last very-high hazard parcels, but dozens of High-zone properties remain along the Farm Hill corridor, where defensible space clearing and sensible canopy management still matter.

From a single hazardous oak over a Mount Carmel bungalow to lot clearing and stump grinding on a hillside build, we bring lifts, climbers, and cleanup crews that leave nothing behind – dump and haul are included in every estimate.
