Certified Arborist Services in Cutten, CA

Cutten and Ridgewood grew up inside second-growth redwood country, and the trees never left. Full-size redwoods and firs stand inside fence lines all through the neighborhood, sharing small lots with houses, garages, and swing sets. It makes for one of the prettiest neighborhoods in the county, and some of its most technical tree work.

How certified arborist services goes in Cutten

The most common arborist call in Cutten is a second opinion: someone has been told a coast redwood has to come down, and they want to know if that is true. Often it is not. The Cutten hazard is redwood limb weight over roofs and Douglas firs that have died back and need to come down in pieces between two houses. We say which it is, and we do not sell a removal the tree does not need.

Cutten sits just inland of the bay fog, wet enough to grow second-growth redwood at full speed and windy enough in winter to test every heavy limb. Cutten is fifteen minutes from our McKinleyville base and on the daily route through Eureka.
