Arborists & Tree Trimming Services in San Francisco

July 29, 2013

“We had a very large tree in a difficult area that had to come down and a pretty large palm tree that was ready to hit power lines. Dustin came to give the estimate right on time. The estimate was very fair. The Waraner crew arrived as scheduled and I saw some pretty amazing team work. The stumps were ground out and nothing has grown back since. The job took several hours due to the size of the trees. I'm sure the guys were pretty tired, but did a great clean-up. You wouldn't have known they were there. Exceptional service :-) . . .”

“I've worked with David and Kevin Kielty for over a decade now on countless projects. He's always very quick to turn around arborist reports for even the toughest jurisdictions when it comes to tree protection like Palo Alto and Cupertino. Plus I still get a kick out of seeing David (Sensitive Information Hidden) returning my calls!”

Tree Service Professional FAQs

When should I have my trees inspected by an arborist?

Schedule annual inspections in spring or fall, and after severe storms. Additional inspections are recommended if you notice signs of disease, damage, or unusual growth patterns.

What's the difference between tree trimming and pruning?

Trimming focuses on maintaining shape and controlling size, while pruning involves removing specific branches to improve tree health and structure. Pruning requires more expertise as it impacts the tree's long-term health.

What signs indicate a tree needs emergency removal?

Emergency removal may be needed if you notice severe leaning, exposed or damaged roots, large dead branches, splits in the trunk, or if the tree is touching power lines.

How often should trees be professionally maintained?

Maintenance frequency depends on tree species, age, and location. Generally, mature trees need professional attention every 3-5 years, while young trees benefit from annual pruning and shaping.

What credentials should I look for when hiring a tree service?

Look for ISA (International Society of Arboriculture) certification, liability insurance, worker's compensation coverage, and local licensing if required in your area.
