Old Trees in an Old Town

San Jacinto incorporated in April 1888, the same year the railroad arrived, and its long history means tree service here often involves big, old trees. The town was laid out in 1883 by the San Jacinto Land Association, and dairies and farms dominated the local economy for decades. Large shade trees, old windbreaks and trees from former farm lots are still spread through the city.

Large and old trees

A tree that has stood for many decades has had time to collect problems: decay at old pruning cuts, dead limbs high in the crown, cracks at the forks and root damage from past construction. We look at each of those before deciding on trimming or removal. When a big tree must come down near homes, we take it apart from the top in rigged sections and lower each piece.

Emergency tree service

San Jacinto summers are hot, with a mean July maximum around 95 degrees and a record of 116, and winter storms bring most of the year's roughly 12 inches of rain. Heat-stressed trees drop limbs suddenly in summer, and wet soil after storms can let a tree lean or topple. When a tree or big limb comes down on a house, car or fence, call us. We clear the weight off the structure first, then cut up and remove the rest. If any lines are involved, call the utility and keep everyone clear.

Trimming to prevent the emergency

Most failures we are called about could have been spotted earlier. Removing dead limbs, reducing long heavy branches and thinning dense crowns makes a tree much less likely to break. A checkup every few years is far cheaper than an emergency removal.

Stump grinding and replanting

Old stumps in a yard can be very large. Our grinders chew through them and the main surface roots, and we can leave the grindings to fill the hole or haul them away.

Mountains and fire

The San Jacinto Mountains rise above the valley. Homes on the city's edges near open land should keep grass cut short, limbs raised and dead material cleared within 100 feet of structures, as state defensible space guidance describes.

San Jacinto Questions

What counts as a tree emergency?

A tree or large limb on a house, car or fence, a tree blocking a driveway or road, or a tree that has started to lean suddenly with cracked soil at the base. If wires are involved, call the utility first.

Can you remove a very large tree in a small yard?

Yes. We dismantle it from the top in sections and lower each piece with rigging, so nothing drops on the house or fences.

How do I know if my old tree is dangerous?

Watch for dead limbs in the crown, mushrooms or soft wood at the base, cracks in the trunk and a new lean. If you see any of them, have the tree inspected.
