“Had a massive oak tree in front of my house that was getting out of control. Chico Tree Service came out and trimmed it back beautifully, shaped it up without making it look hacked. The crew was professional and cleaned up every single branch. My street view is so much better now.”
Tree Trimming & Pruning
“Two dead trees were blocking our driveway access and we needed them gone fast. They took them down in one afternoon, had the whole job wrapped up and the driveway cleared by 4 PM. Really efficient crew.”
Tree Removal
“My hedges were totally overgrown and looked terrible. Chico Tree Service trimmed everything back, shaped the shrubs nicely, and honestly the whole front of my house looks refreshed. They even hauled away all the trimmings.”
Hedge Trimming & Shrub Care
“We needed to clear a wooded section of our property to open up the backyard. The team came in with the right equipment and cleared out fallen trees and debris. It's a completely different space now, way more usable. Only thing is they could've been a bit faster, but the final result is solid.”
Land Clearing
“After they removed an old pine tree, we had this gnarly stump taking up half the yard. Chico Tree Service ground it down flush with the ground in about an hour. Now we've got a flat surface where the stump was and can actually use that part of the lawn.”
Stump Grinding
“Had a property with several dead and dying trees scattered around that needed to come down. The crew removed them all, ground the stumps, and cleared the debris, transformed the whole lot. I was surprised how thorough they were with the cleanup.”
Tree Removal & Land Clearing
“Called them out because I wasn't sure if my backyard trees were healthy. The arborist gave me solid advice on which ones needed pruning and which were fine. They trimmed what needed it and explained everything clearly. Worth the consultation fee alone.”
Arborist Consultation & Trimming
“A huge branch came down during that windstorm last month and was hanging dangerously over the house. Called Chico Tree Service and they got out here the next morning to remove it safely. Really grateful they could respond so quick, felt way safer after they left.”

Chico Tree Service is the trusted choice for homeowners across Chico and the surrounding region who need professional tree care. Whether you live in the historic Victorian neighborhoods of the Avenues, the ranch-home communities of north Chico, the newer developments near Meriam Park, or the foothill properties along Paradise Ridge, our team has the experience and equipment to handle your trees safely and efficiently. We serve Chico, Paradise, Oroville, Gridley, and Biggs with the same commitment to quality and customer satisfaction.
For over a decade, homeowners searching for tree service near me in Chico have turned to us for everything from routine trimming to emergency storm response. We are fully insured on every job, and we pride ourselves on clear communication, fair pricing, and work that respects both your property and the health of your landscape. When you need a tree company you can trust, call Chico Tree Service or request a free estimate today.
Large tree removal and emergency tree service represent some of the most critical work we perform. Chico's diverse canopy of valley oaks, London planes, redwoods, and pines can pose serious hazards when they become unstable, diseased, or storm-damaged. A massive limb hanging over your roof, a fallen tree blocking your driveway or crushing a vehicle, or a top split by wind and threatening power lines are situations that demand immediate professional attention. Our arborists and tree removal specialists are trained to assess risk quickly and execute removals safely, even in tight quarters near structures, fences, and utility lines.
Storm damage is particularly common in Chico during winter and spring, when heavy winds and occasional ice loads stress even mature trees. A tree that appears sound may have internal decay, root damage from recent irrigation changes, or structural weakness that becomes catastrophic in high wind. We respond 24/7 to emergency calls, and we have the cranes, chippers, and rigging equipment necessary to bring down large trees without endangering your home, garage, or neighbors' property. If you are facing a hazardous tree or storm damage right now, call (530) 267-1359 immediately.
Our tree removal process includes careful planning, site preparation, and proper disposal or chipping of all debris. We work with local permitting requirements and can advise you on the steps needed to remove a tree legally and safely. Whether the tree is 40 feet tall or 80 feet, diseased, dead, or simply in the wrong place, we have the skill and equipment to get it done right.
The cost of tree removal, trimming, stump grinding, and other tree services in Chico varies based on several factors: the size and species of the tree, how easily we can access it, whether it is close to your house, fence, or power lines, and the complexity of the work itself. A small ornamental removal may cost far less than taking down a 60-foot valley oak or a redwood near your roof. Stump grinding and debris removal add to the total scope, as does emergency service outside normal business hours.
For a clear picture of what your specific job will cost, visit our pricing page or contact us for a detailed estimate. We provide transparent quotes with no hidden fees, so you know exactly what to expect before we start work.
Beyond tree removal, Chico Tree Service offers a full range of tree and landscape care. Stump grinding eliminates the eyesore and tripping hazard left behind after a removal, while tree trimming and pruning keeps your canopy healthy, attractive, and safe year-round. We also provide hedge trimming and shrub care, land clearing for new construction or property development, and arborist consultation to help you make informed decisions about your trees' long-term health and management.
Many cities and counties in the Chico area require permits before removing trees above a certain size, and some have heritage tree ordinances that protect oaks, redwoods, and other significant species. If you live in an HOA community, visible removals may also need approval from your homeowners association. Property line rules can complicate matters if a neighbor's tree is overhanging your roof or threatening your structure. These regulations exist to preserve the urban canopy and protect community character, but they can feel confusing to navigate.
Chico Tree Service can advise you on the permit process and help ensure your removal or trimming project complies with local requirements. We recommend checking with your local building department or city arborist before starting work, and we are happy to discuss next steps when you call or request a free estimate. Our experience with Chico's regulations helps us keep your project on track and within the law.
