Trusted Tree Care for Riverside Homeowners Since 1989

Riverside is home to a remarkable diversity of mature trees, many planted decades ago. We regularly work with California live oaks, mature eucalyptus (including blue gums and red gums), Brazilian pepper trees, southern magnolias, sycamores, Italian cypress, jacarandas, deodar cedars, and the surviving citrus trees from the area's historic groves. Each species has specific pruning needs - eucalyptus, for example, drops limbs unexpectedly when not properly maintained, while heritage oaks require a careful, light hand to avoid stress.

Riverside's heat, dry climate, and aging tree inventory create a specific set of challenges. The polyphagous shot hole borer (PSHB) has hit Riverside hard, devastating sycamores, oaks, and box elders. We're also seeing increasing oak root rot from over-irrigation, structural failures in mature eucalyptus during Santa Ana winds, and citrus decline tied to both pests and drought stress. Catching these issues early - before a tree becomes a hazard - is one of the most valuable services a certified arborist provides.

We service homes throughout Riverside, including the Wood Streets, Magnolia Center, Canyon Crest, La Sierra, Arlington, Orangecrest, Mission Grove, Hawarden Hills, Victoria, and Downtown. If your neighborhood isn't listed, give us a call - we cover most of the city and surrounding areas.

A recent Wood Streets homeowner called us after a 70-foot eucalyptus dropped a major limb on their detached garage. Our crew evaluated the remaining structure, identified two more compromised leaders, and removed the tree in sections using a crane to protect the surrounding mature landscape. The job was completed in a single day with no further property damage.
