Sam's Tree Service

About Sam's Tree Service

Down toward Salt Creek the ground tips seaward, and on a clear spring morning in Laguna Niguel you can catch salt in a backyard three miles inland. Sam's Tree Service spends its days in those yards -- shaping pines and pepper trees, cutting back growth that has swallowed a walkway, taking down a tree that has split at a crotch, hauling off broken wood after a wet week. Around the lake at the regional park the big shade trees make the whole basin feel cooler, and the same idea works at the scale of one well-pruned tree over a patio. Each job ends with a rake, a blower and a long look back from the street. A tree ought to look cared for afterward, not cut.
