Tree Service in Ferndale

Ferndale is a Victorian village on the Eel River delta, and its trees tell that story: big Monterey cypress and eucalyptus planted as windbreaks around the dairies a century ago, mature ornamentals behind the picket fences on the side streets off Main, and the dark line of Russ Park's spruce and redwood rising behind town. Almost everything here is old, tall, and standing in wind.

The wind is the thing. Storms come off the Pacific at Centerville, cross the bottoms with nothing to slow them, and lean on the cypress rows and tall eucalyptus that have been holding that wind for decades. When one of those trees starts to fail, it is usually a big one, and it is usually close to a barn, a house, or a road. We take those down in pieces, and we thin and reduce the ones that still have good years in them.

In town it is careful work: rope-and-lower removals on tight lots, crown cleaning over historic homes, fruit and ornamental pruning, and stump grinding where an old tree came out. Out on Wildcat Road and the ranch lanes it is windbreak management, hazard assessments, and clearing along fence lines. Either way the site gets left clean, and the quote is free.
