Tree cutting in Arcadia

Empire Tree Care does tree cutting in Arcadia and across the San Gabriel Valley. If you know a tree has to be cut but not what to call the job, this is the page. Describe the tree when you call or text (626) 493-7629. Each tree is looked at first and priced before the saw starts. Tree cutting is the broad name, and the narrower ones, like limb removal or dead tree removal, have pages of their own.

You might call because a tree has outgrown its spot or because a tree on your property needs to go before it becomes a problem. If the tree is staying and only needs shaping, tree trimming & pruning is the closer fit. If the whole tree is coming down, tree removal is the page to read. If you can't tell which one you need, say what you see when you call.

The owner's father has spent 20+ years in the gardening and tree industry, and the owner came into the work about 7 years ago. It is a father and son business, and they speak Spanish, so you can describe the tree in English or in Spanish. Their line on the work is plain: trees get the proper care, and they don't get butchered. That goes for a cut as much as for any other job.

When is tree cutting the right job to book?

Tree cutting is the right job when you know a tree has to be cut and you don't have a better name for it. You don't need the exact label before you call. Describe the tree and what you want done with it.

Cutting is different from trimming. Trimming keeps a living tree and shapes it. Cutting takes wood off the tree or takes the whole tree down. A cut is permanent, because wood that comes off does not go back on, which is why it is worth saying what you want left standing as well as what you want gone. They care about overall tree health, so if a lighter job would solve your problem, say what is bothering you when you reach out.

What should you say when you call about a tree to cut?

Say what the tree is doing now, whether it is leaning, dropping limbs, crowding the house or simply in the way. Then say what you want done with it: a limb off, the tree made smaller, or the whole tree gone. Those three map to tree limb removal, crown reduction and tree removal, and each of them has a page on this site.

Say where the tree stands and what worries you about it. Then ask your questions about the number, since the number is set before the work starts and does not change afterward. Whether it is a single limb or the whole tree, the number comes the same way, from the call and the estimate.

Some trees have a more exact name: tree limb removal for a single limb, dead tree removal for a dead tree, large tree removal for a big one. If none of those fits, tree cutting is the name to use.

Will tree cutting go ahead in the rain?

No. They don't take tree cutting jobs in the rain. Only one rain-day call gets a yes, and that is an emergency to remove branches that have come down on a house or a car.

Branches lying on your roof or your car are the case that exception is for, and no other cutting job fits it. The lines are open from 6 AM to 9 PM, Monday through Saturday, and the business is closed on Sunday, so no cut gets booked for a Sunday either. Call or text (626) 493-7629 and say what the sky is doing.

How much does tree cutting cost?

Tree cutting starts at a $500 minimum. Call or text (626) 493-7629 for the number on your own tree. The quote itself is free, and it comes from talking the job through and the estimate, never from a picture.

Once a number is quoted, it does not change when the work starts, which is why the quote is worth asking for before you decide anything. To see how pricing works around Arcadia in general, read what a cut costs in Arcadia.

Payment is cash, a check, Zelle or a card. Ask your questions about the number before the work starts, because the quoted figure is the figure you pay.

How does a tree cutting job go, and can it happen the same day?

It goes in a straight line. You call or text, and the estimate gets scheduled. They show up, get the job done, and then walk the property with you. After the walk-through you get an invoice, and that's it.

As for the same day, the owner's words are "same day sometimes." That is the whole promise, so it is worth asking when you reach out rather than counting on it.

Empire Tree Care guarantees clean, safe work, and damage to your property from the job is covered by a promise to repair it as soon as possible.

How far from Arcadia will a tree cutting job reach?

Up to 45 miles. Arcadia is where they start, and the drive can go well past it, so a tree in the next town over is not a long shot. They work around Pasadena, La Cañada and La Crescenta, and you can see the towns they work in, listed one by one, if you want to check yours.

The owner has described a busy day on the job. A morning job in San Dimas finished around 11:30, and a job in Pasadena then ran from 12:30 to 6:30. There was a lot of trash, and both jobs were done safely and properly.
