La Selva Tree Care

About La Selva Tree Care

Summer mornings in the upper San Lorenzo Valley start cool and gray, fog caught in the tanoaks, then burn off into a dry gold afternoon. La Selva Tree Care spends those days on the steep parcels above Ben Lomond, where a tree can sit forty feet off the road and still be a whole day's problem. The work is removal where a trunk has gone hollow, trimming to pull limbs back from a rooftop and a power drop, pruning that leaves a young redwood room to become itself. Come the rains, storm damage cleanup takes over: the canyon drops what it drops, the crew cuts it out, and the driveway is passable again by dark. Every job ends the same way — chips raked, cuts clean, the ground looking like the forest simply closed back over it.
