Full-Service Tree Care in Fremont, CA

Tree Removal

Professional tree removal helps protect your property, improve safety, and ensure the job is completed efficiently. Trained professionals have the equipment and expertise to safely remove hazardous, diseased, or damaged trees while minimizing the risk of injury or damage to nearby structures and landscaping.

Tree Trimming & Pruning

Professional trimming to improve tree health, enhance appearance, and prevent overgrowth or structural issues. Regular tree trimming by ISA Certified Arborists keeps healthy trees structurally sound, visually appealing, and less likely to cause property damage during storms or high winds.

Stump Grinding & Removal

Complete removal of unsightly stumps to improve curb appeal and eliminate tripping hazards or pest issues. We use advanced stump grinders to mechanically reduce stumps to wood chips below the soil surface. In areas like Mission San Jose and Niles, where properties sit close together, a diseased or pest-ridden stump can affect neighboring trees as well.

Storm Damage

Selective pruning and removing of damaged wood per ANSI A300 guidelines. Cabling, bracing or complete removal may be necessary. Safe and efficient removal of dead, hazardous, or unwanted trees, including complex and large-scale removals.

Emergency Services

Initial safety assessment and hazard mitigation, then detailed tree evaluation. The goal is to reduce immediate hazards, evaluate the trees viability, and decide between pruning, structural support, monitoring, or removal, while minimizing further harm to the trees or surrounding property.

Tree Arborist

Tree arboring refers to the practices of arboriculture, which is the cultivation, care, and study of individual trees, shrubs, and other woody plants. Arborists are trained in tree biology and proper techniques to keep trees healthy and safe while minimizing harm.

Tree Service FAQ

Do I need a permit to remove or heavily prune a tree on my property in Fremont, CA?

In many cases, yes. Fremont's tree ordinance (FMC 18.215) requires a permit for the removal or significant pruning of certain protected trees on private property. The threshold that typically triggers permit requirements is a trunk diameter of 10 inches or more, measured at 4.5 feet above grade.

Permit requirements can also apply to trees in specific zoning districts or designated areas, regardless of size. We strongly recommend checking with the City of Fremont's Planning Division before beginning any significant tree work to avoid fines or stop-work orders.


Which trees are protected under Fremont's tree ordinance, and how can I confirm if my tree is covered?

Fremont's Municipal Code Section 18.215 establishes protections for heritage trees, native species, and trees meeting certain size thresholds. Native oaks are among the most commonly protected trees in the city.

To confirm whether your specific tree is protected, you can contact the City of Fremont's Planning and Building Department directly. Our ISA Certified Arborists can also evaluate your tree and help you understand whether a permit is required before any work begins.



How can I verify that a tree service is properly licensed, insured, and recognized for work in Fremont, CA?

Ask any contractor you hire to provide their California Contractors State License Board (CSLB) license number, proof of general liability insurance, and a current workers' compensation certificate. You can verify a CSLB license directly at cslb.ca.gov.

For work involving street trees, the City of Fremont requires contractors to be part of its Approved Contractor Certification Program. ISA Certified Arborist credentials are also a reliable indicator of professional competency. We carry full licensing, bonding, and insurance, and our team includes certified arborists with over 20 years of combined experience.


What is Fremont's Urban Forestry program, and how does it affect street trees and public right-of-way tree work?

Fremont's Urban Forestry program oversees the planting, maintenance, and removal of trees located in the public right-of-way, including street trees along curbs and sidewalks. These trees are generally the city's responsibility, though adjacent property owners may have maintenance obligations in some situations.

Any work performed on a street tree—including pruning or removal—must be carried out by a City Approved Tree Contractor. Unauthorized removal or damage to a street tree can result in fines and required replacement at the property owner's expense.



How do I use the City of Fremont tree map or tree plotter to identify a street tree species and its maintenance responsibility?

The City of Fremont provides an online tree map tool that allows residents to locate and identify street trees by address. The map typically includes the tree species, planting date, and maintenance jurisdiction for each listed tree.

To access it, visit the City of Fremont's official website and search for the urban forestry or street tree section. If a tree near your property isn't listed, or if you have questions about maintenance responsibility, contacting the city's Public Works department directly is the most reliable next step.



What is Fremont's 50-50 Street Tree Program, and how can homeowners qualify for cost-sharing or free tree options?

Fremont's 50-50 Street Tree Program allows qualifying homeowners to share the cost of street tree planting with the city. In some cases, free tree options may be available depending on program funding and eligibility requirements at the time of application.

To qualify, homeowners typically need to submit a request through the city and meet criteria related to property location and existing tree canopy conditions. Program availability and funding levels can change year to year, so checking with Fremont's Public Works or Urban Forestry division for the most current details is the best approach.
