Our Tree Services for San Rafael Properties
Hillside Oak and Bay Laurel Removal
We safely take down trees of any size in San Rafael, from a small ornamental in a Gerstle Park backyard to a big coast live oak hanging over a hillside home off Point San Pedro Road.
Pruning Coast Live Oaks in the Dry Season
We shape the canopy, clear the deadwood, and cut back the limbs reaching over your roof, your deck, or the power lines, then thin the heavy crowns so the winter storms blowing in off the bay have less to grab.
Defensible Space on the Wooded Ridges
On the wooded ridges above Terra Linda and along San Pedro Ridge, the brush next to a house is fire fuel. We clear it to defensible-space standards and keep the healthy oaks and bays.
Stump Grinding From the Canal to Terra Linda
On San Rafael’s tight lots an old stump is often right where you need the space. We grind it out below grade so you can replant or lay sod.

Our Crew on the Job
From the Canal to the Wooded Hills of San Rafael
San Rafael runs from the flat Canal neighborhood by the bay up into steep, wooded hills, and the tree work changes as you climb. In Sun Valley, Gerstle Park and Dominican it is mostly big coast live oaks, bay laurels and redwoods over older homes on tight, sloped lots. Out in Terra Linda and along Point San Pedro Road toward Peacock Gap and China Camp, the oak woodland meets the houses, so pruning and brush clearing double as fire protection.
Santa Venetia is unincorporated Marin County, so county tree rules apply there instead of the city’s, and we check which ones cover your lot before we cut. Sudden oak death has hit Marin’s oaks hard, so a thinning or dropping crown gets a certified arborist’s look first.

Sometimes. Dead or hazardous trees are usually exempt, but protected trees can need a permit, so we check first.
Usually $1,500 to $3,500, depending on the tree and how easy it is to reach. The price is in writing before we start.
Late summer into early fall for most trees, and brush cleared before the fall winds. Emergencies we handle any time.
Removal, Trimming, Stumps and Storms
San Rafael runs from the flat canal neighborhoods down by the bay up into the steep, wooded Marin hillsides, and the trees change as you climb.
When a Tree Has to Come Out
The steep lots and tight access up in the hills are exactly the kind of removal we are set up for, with rigging and a crane when the drop zone is small.
Keeping San Rafael’s Trees Healthy
We prune oaks once the rains stop and the wood is dry, so fresh cuts do not invite infection.
Grinding the Stump Down
We grind it out below grade so you can replant or lay sod.
Storm and Fire-Season Ready
San Rafael’s wooded hillsides are beautiful, but in a dry year they are also a fire concern, especially where homes sit tucked into the oak and bay woodland.
