Tree Trimming 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 tree trimming goes in Cutten

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. That is why most Cutten trimming is booked in fall: deadwood out and weight off before the first front, so the crown passes wind instead of catching it. Nesting season in spring gets a look before every cut.

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 tree trimming

• A yard in permanent shade under a coast redwood that could be lifted and thinned for light.
• A Douglas fir with long, overextended limbs reaching over a garage or a fence.
• Limbs in the service drop or the communication lines out front.
• A shared tree on the property line that both neighbors have been trimming by halves.

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. Redwood roots crowd every Cutten yard, and a stump here is usually right against a driveway, a fence post, or a neighbor's lawn.

Working in Cutten

Most of our Cutten jobs are exactly that: a big conifer in a small yard. Redwood limb weight over roofs, firs that have died back and need to come down in pieces, hedges and ornamentals overdue for shaping, and stumps from long-gone trees still owning a corner of the lawn.

Around Cutten that means Ridgewood, Walnut Drive, Cutten Elementary, Sequoia Park, and the properties between. Full-size redwoods and firs on small residential lots, technical rigging over structures.
