Frequently Asked Questions

Since 1994, Redwood Arbor Care has provided reliable tree care across Canoga Park, helping local property owners stay safe, maintain healthy landscapes, and improve curb appeal through trimming, removals, stump grinding, and emergency support.

  • How often should trees be trimmed in this region?

    Most trees benefit from seasonal trimming every one to two years due to the warm climate. Regular tree trimming services help manage growth, prevent limb failures during Santa Ana winds, and promote healthier structure.

  • Why is palm trimming important for homes and commercial properties?

    Palms grow quickly and can drop fronds during windy periods. Routine palm tree trimming keeps walkways, roofs, and public areas safer. It also reduces pest nesting and improves the appearance of tall palms seen across the region.

  • When should a tree be completely removed?

    A tree may need removal if it is leaning, diseased, storm-damaged, or causing structural interference. Tree removal is often recommended when roots impact foundations or when decay makes the tree unstable.

  • Does stump grinding help prevent pests or regrowth?

    Yes, grinding eliminates the leftover stump and roots that attract insects like termites or beetles. Stump grinding services also prevent shoots from returning and free up space for new landscaping.

  • How quickly can emergency tree issues be handled?

    Storms and high-wind events often create sudden hazards. We provide fast emergency tree services to clear blocked driveways, remove broken limbs, and secure unstable trees for safer access.

  • Are tree care services necessary during drought periods?

    Yes, trees become stressed during drought seasons, making them prone to breakage. Scheduled tree trimming services and proper pruning improve airflow and reduce weight that can cause failures in weakened branches.

  • How does proper pruning support long term tree health?

    Healthy pruning removes dead or diseased limbs, improves sunlight penetration, and shapes growth patterns. Using tree trimming services regularly also lowers the chance of decay spreading through major limbs.

  • Do older properties benefit from stump removal?

    Older lots often have hidden hazards beneath soil and lawn areas. Removing stumps with stump grinding services reduces tripping risks, prevents lawn equipment damage, and prepares the space for new planting or hardscapes.

  • What signs indicate a tree may be unsafe?

    Look for leaning trunks, cracked branches, exposed roots, or mushrooms around the base. A failing tree may require tree removal or immediate support from emergency tree services depending on severity.

  • How do high wind seasons affect local tree maintenance?

    Seasonal winds can break weakened limbs and send debris across properties. Routine tree trimming services and timely palm tree trimming reduce hazards, especially during periods of increased gusts. For service inquiries, call us at (818) 577-5011.
