Rio Del Mar Tree Service

About Rio Del Mar Tree Service

Fog comes over Rio Del Mar before sunrise and lifts off the bluffs around ten, and the trees of Aptos live their whole lives inside that rhythm of salt, gray and sudden sun. Rio Del Mar Tree Service works the neighborhoods between Seacliff and the redwood shade up Aptos Creek — pruning Monterey pines that have leaned away from the ocean all their years, trimming cypress and eucalyptus back off rooflines, removing the pines that wind and beetles have finished with. Winter southerlies come up the bay and take whatever was ready to go; the cleanup afterward is limb by limb, chipped and hauled, deck and driveway left bare. A well-pruned coastal tree keeps its wind-sculpted shape and loses only what it could not carry. Holding that balance is what the pruning is for.
