Brush Chipping & Hauling 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 brush chipping & hauling goes in Cutten

A tidy pile chips fast and a scattered one does not. Stack cut ends toward where the truck can park, keep leaves and dirt out, and do not pile it against the house. Cutten and Ridgewood put full-size redwoods and firs inside small residential fence lines, sharing the yard with garages, decks, and swing sets, so nearly everything is rigged over a structure. From there a car-sized pile is about a half hour through the machine.

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. 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. Cutten is fifteen minutes from our McKinleyville base and on the daily route through Eureka.

When Cutten homeowners call for brush chipping & hauling

• Storm blowdown from the coast redwood and Douglas fir after a front, cut but still lying in the yard.
• Blackberry, broom, or ivy that has taken the back of the lot near Walnut Drive.
• An overgrown lot being cleared for a shop, a garden, or a building site.
• Fuel-reduction brush and ladder fuels that should not sit as a burn pile.

Redwood roots crowd every Cutten yard, and a stump here is usually right against a driveway, a fence post, or a neighbor's lawn. Fire risk in these neighborhoods is low, but stacked redwood duff and dead limbs against a house still get cleared as part of any trimming job.
