Who We Are

Urban Arborists

We are ISA-trained teams who know South Pasadena, CAs microclimates, alleys, and HOA preferences. We trim for wind, light, and safety without sacrificing the character of your favorite shade trees.

Safety is baked in: PPE on every climber, cones and signage on sidewalks, and spotters who watch for pedestrians and pets.

When you call, you reach local coordinators who can dispatch the right crew quickly.

Health & Safety

City-Ready Standards

We work to ANSI A300 standards, balancing canopies for storm resilience and structural strength.

Soil care is crucial in cities. We ease compaction, add organic matter, and feed roots to help trees thrive in smaller beds.
