Tree Service in Fortuna

Removal, trimming, stumps, and storm cleanup from a crew that knows Fortuna.

Fortuna sits where the Eel River Valley meets the timber, and its trees show both sides: river-bottom cottonwoods and willows along the Eel, big firs and redwoods climbing the hills behind town, and mature yard trees through the older neighborhoods around Rohner Park and Main Street.

Valley wind storms have a way of finding the one weak tree on the block. We do a steady business in Fortuna taking down dying firs before the wet season, clearing storm damage after it, trimming walnut and fruit trees in the older yards, and grinding out the stumps that have been sitting in lawns for years.

The ground here matters too. Once winter rain softens the river-valley soil, a compromised tree gets more dangerous by the week. If you have a leaner you have been watching, the cheap time to deal with it is before the ground goes soft.

Trees we work on around Fortuna
