Tree Service in Mead Valley, CA

Mead Valley is spread across about 19 square miles in the northeastern Temescal Mountains, west of Perris and south of Riverside, and most tree service calls here involve lots with more land than the average suburban yard. The community had 19,819 residents and 4,730 homes in 2020, which works out to fewer than 250 homes per square mile. That leaves plenty of room for big trees, brush and open ground between houses.

Tree removals on wide lots

With space around them, trees in Mead Valley often grow tall and wide before anyone thinks about them. When one dies, leans or starts dropping big limbs, the removal plan depends on what is underneath: a house, a power drop, a shed or just open dirt. We fell trees whole only when the landing zone is clear and safe, and we dismantle them in sections otherwise. You decide whether the wood stays as rounds or leaves with us.

Brush and weed growth

Cajalco Creek's north fork drains the valley, and the hills and washes around it fill with grass and scrub after the winter rains. Mead Valley is unincorporated, so Riverside County's hazard abatement rules apply. Ordinance 695 allows the county to require a 100-foot cleared strip along a vacant parcel's road edge and next to neighboring structures, normally within 30 days of a notice. Around your own home, CAL FIRE's defensible space guidance runs out to 100 feet.

Trimming for access and safety

Rural lots have long driveways and gates that trucks, trailers and fire engines need to get through. We trim trees for vertical clearance over drives, cut limbs back from roofs and outbuildings, and remove deadwood that would otherwise end up on the ground after the next wind.

Stump grinding after the work

Old stumps get in the way of new fencing, a garden or a parking pad. We grind them below grade and can backfill with the grindings or remove them.

Dead trees after dry years

After several low-rain seasons, trees on unirrigated land can die from the top down. A dead tree dries out and becomes brittle quickly, which makes it harder and less safe to climb as months go by. If you see a tree with no leaves in spring, or bark peeling off in sheets, it is better to schedule removal sooner rather than later.

What to tell us

Let us know about gates and their width, slopes, soft ground, animals that need to be secured, and any trees near power lines. On bigger properties a walk-around is the fastest way to get an accurate scope.
