At Cisneros Tree Care Inc., we help homeowners throughout Los Angeles keep their trees healthy, safe, and beautiful. Below are the most common questions we receive about professional tree trimming and pruning.

  • What does professional tree trimming include?

    Tree trimming includes removing dead, diseased, overgrown, or dangerous branches to improve the structure, safety, and appearance of your trees. We also trim for roof, driveway, sidewalk, and power line clearance.

  • Why is tree trimming important?

    Tree trimming:

    • Prevents falling branches
    • Reduces storm damage
    • Promotes healthy growth
    • Improves sunlight and airflow
    • Keeps your home and family safe

  • When is the best time of year to trim trees?

    In Los Angeles, most trees can be trimmed year-round. However, late fall through early spring is often ideal because trees are less stressed and growth can rebound more efficiently.

  • Can trimming improve the health of my tree?

    Yes. Removing dead and diseased branches prevents decay from spreading and helps your tree direct nutrients to healthy growth areas.

  • Do you trim palm trees?

    Yes. We provide full palm tree trimming and skinning services throughout Los Angeles.

  • Do you clean up the debris?

    Yes! All trimming services include complete cleanup and optional haul-away.

  • What is stump grinding?

    Stump grinding is the process of using specialized equipment to grind a tree stump below ground level, allowing the area to be leveled, landscaped, and re-planted safely.

  • Why should I remove a tree stump?

    Tree stumps can:

    • Create tripping hazards
    • Attract termites, ants, and rodents
    • Spread disease to nearby trees
    • Make lawn maintenance difficult
    • Lower property value and curb appeal

  • Can you remove large stumps?

    Yes — we safely remove stumps of all sizes using professional stump grinders.

  • Is stump grinding better than full stump removal?

    Yes. Grinding is faster, more affordable, and less disruptive to your yard than digging out entire root systems.

  • Will the stump grow back?

    Grinding eliminates regrowth in most cases. Certain species may sprout slightly, but this is easily controlled.

  • Do you clean up the wood chips?

    Yes. We can leave chips for mulch or haul them away your choice.
