A tree left to grow wild and unmanaged in a suburban environment will eventually encounter massive problems. Over-extended limbs become far too heavy for their joints, incredibly dense canopies block out the essential sunlight your lawn needs to survive, and heavy deadwood becomes a terrifying falling hazard for your family. We are Squaw Valley, CA’s premier authority on structural canopy management and tree trimming service. We go far beyond simple, aesthetic hacking; we apply strict botanical science to our pruning trees protocols, vastly improving the airflow, structural integrity, and long-term, vibrant health of your landscape.

There is a massive, critical difference between an amateur hacking at branches and a certified arborist executing a professional tree pruning service. Every single cut made on a tree is a permanent physical wound. We strictly follow ANSI A300 arboricultural standards. We identify the "branch collar"—the swollen, wrinkled area where the branch meets the main trunk—and make our precise cuts just outside of it. This biological technique allows the tree to rapidly grow callous tissue and compartmentalize the wound, permanently sealing out rot-causing fungi from entering the main trunk. We never, ever use metal climbing spikes during pruning, as puncturing the bark damages the living tissue of a healthy tree.
A comprehensive tree trimming and pruning session tackles multiple structural vulnerabilities simultaneously:
Cultivating a high-yield backyard orchard or even just a single, beautiful apple tree requires highly specific botanical knowledge. Pruning fruit trees is fundamentally different from pruning large shade trees. We focus entirely on opening the absolute center of the canopy to maximize sunlight penetration and fresh airflow, which minimizes the buildup of moisture that causes fungal diseases on the fruit. We prune strategically during the dormant winter season to encourage the development of incredibly strong fruiting spurs, ensuring your trees produce heavy, healthy, delicious yields without snapping their own branches under the weight.
Protect your property from falling deadwood and encourage brilliant, healthy canopy growth. Partner with the friendly plant health experts for precision pruning.

"My huge oak tree was so incredibly dense that absolutely no grass would grow under it. The team performed a crown thinning, and now the sunlight filters through beautifully. The yard looks twice as big and the grass is finally growing."
"We hired them for pruning fruit trees in our backyard. The arborist really knew his stuff. He reshaped our peach and cherry trees, and the fruit production this summer was the biggest and healthiest we've ever had."
"Very professional, friendly tree trimming service. They safely climbed the huge maple hanging right over our house, removed all the scary deadwood safely with ropes, and cleaned up every single twig from the lawn before they left."
By 1942, Wayne Poulsen, a former star skier from the University of Nevada, had acquired 2,000 acres (810 ha) in the valley from the Southern Pacific Railroad. Poulsen met Alex Cushing, a Harvard University-trained lawyer, in 1946 while Cushing was vacationing at Sugar Bowl Ski Resort. During his vacation, Cushing toured the valley at Poulsen's invitation and decided to invest in building a ski resort there. Unlike Poulsen, Cushing had the political connections and access to the capital necessary to create a ski resort. In June 1948, the two founded the Squaw Valley Development Company and Cushing replaced Poulsen as president of the Squaw Valley Development Corporation by October 1949. Squaw Valley Ski Resort opened on Thanksgiving Day 1949. The resort was constructed with $400,000 raised by Cushing, including $150,000 of his own money. The creation of the Squaw Valley Development Corporation and Squaw Valley Ski Resort mark the modern era of the valley.
