Tree Trimming in Fort Dick, at a glance

Fort Dick trimming is thinning and topping-out overgrown windbreaks around the homesteads near Lake Earl, plus deadwooding the big yard trees over farmhouses and clearing limbs off outbuildings before storm season.

Fort Dick is quiet, rural, and green: small farms and homesteads between Lake Earl and the highway, with tree lines that were planted for wind protection back when the land was first worked. Those rows of cypress and spruce are mature now, and mature means maintenance.

How tree trimming goes in Fort Dick

Around Lake Earl and Kings Valley Road the trimming calls are Monterey cypress and Sitka spruce over roofs and drives. The cuts are the same everywhere: outside the collar, never flush, never a stub, and never a topping cut. What changes in Fort Dick is the rigging, because fort Dick is small farms and homesteads between Lake Earl and the highway, with tree lines planted for wind protection when the land was first worked.

Coastal wind crosses the Fort Dick flats off Lake Earl, and the mature cypress and spruce rows planted against it are now tall enough to be a load instead of a shield. Storm-broken windbreak trees dropping on outbuildings and fence lines are the Fort Dick call we get after every big blow. Fort Dick is ten minutes from the Crescent City base and usually paired with Smith River jobs.

When Fort Dick homeowners call for tree trimming

  • Monterey cypress or Sitka spruce limbs rubbing the roof, loading the gutters, or hanging over the sidewalk.
  • A crowded, heavy crown near Lake Earl that catches wind like a sail every winter.
  • A tree somebody offered to top; that is the call to get a second opinion on.
  • A red alder with long, overextended limbs reaching over a garage or a fence.

Tree Trimming in Fort Dick: questions

Can you trim the neighbor's tree that hangs over my Fort Dick yard?

You can generally trim what overhangs your property up to the line, as long as it does not harm the tree. It goes better when neighbors talk first, and better still when one crew does the whole tree properly instead of each side cutting its half. Around Lake Earl we regularly quote one tree for two owners.

How often should a Monterey cypress in Fort Dick be trimmed?

A healthy one with good structure, every few years for deadwood and clearance. A tree over a roof gets looked at more often than one over a lawn.

What do you do with the limbs?

They go straight to the chipper. Monterey cypress and Sitka spruce chip well and the chips stay for your paths and beds if you want them, or leave on the truck.

Do you charge extra to come to Fort Dick?

No. Fort Dick is inside our normal Del Norte County coverage, and quotes there are free.
