Do I need a permit to remove a tree in San Francisco?

If all or part of a tree is on San Francisco land then you will likely need a permit. Generally, homeowners who want to remove a tree in their own backyard or one that is under 10 feet tall do not need prior approval.. Removing larger trees in San Francisco can cause problems however, as they have larger and deeper roots that are more likely to impact utility or plumbing lines buried nearby. When in doubt, a Trees & Bees pro can help.

How can I get a lower price on tree service in San Francisco?

The most important factor for your yearly costs of tree service in San Francisco is the type of trees you have. Certain breeds of tree are more difficult to trim, prune and maintain (palm, willow, etc.) while some grow extremely fast and therefore require more frequent trimming (poplar, empress, willow, sycamore). Scheduling a yearly checkup on the health of your trees will also help you avoid diseases that can result in expensive removal and replacement of your trees.

How much of the tree work can I do on my own?

Most people in San Francisco take care of their trees while they are young, but at a certain point the tree height makes it difficult for the average homeowner. Handheld arborist tools will only get you so far, and using a ladder and winging it can be time consuming and potentially dangerous. Also note that San Francisco tree trimming is a bit of an art, especially with saplings. Shaping a tree properly during its growth is critical to ensure a beautiful tree years down the road and Trees & Bees are experts at shaping all breeds of tree.

How To Calculate Tree Height

From the bottom of your tree, measure 5 feet up and mark the tree with colored tape so it is visible. With a measuring tape in hand, step away from the tree until the line on the tree is equal to the 1” mark on your tape.

While keeping your hands in front of you so that 1”=5 feet, raise the tape until it visually reaches the top of your tree. Take note of how many inches you raised the tape and multiply that number by 5. This final number will provide you with the tree height.
