Pacific Tree Care

About Pacific Tree Care

Palisades Park holds a bluff-edge row of trees that have spent their whole lives leaning away from the ocean, and on a gray morning the coast smells like wet asphalt and salt. A few blocks inland the ficus along the numbered streets push at the sidewalks and reach for the lines, which is where trimming and pruning begin. Up in Santa Monica Canyon the lots run steep and green, and tree removal there is a lowering job worked branch by branch above a neighbor's roofline. When the marine layer burns off and a hot wind follows it in, a crown thinned earlier gives that wind nothing to grab. Storm damage cleanup finishes the way it should — the alley open, the walk swept end to end.
