About Tamalpais Tree Service

Fog pours over the headlands ridge most summer afternoons and settles onto Richardson Bay, where the houseboats sit quiet at Waldo Point. Above them Sausalito climbs in stairways and switchbacks, and the eucalyptus, cypress and bay laurel on those steep lots grow tall in a hurry and lean toward the water. Pruning here is a question of weight and wind — opening a crown so a winter gale off the Gate passes through it instead of taking it. Tree removal is rigged and lowered down the hillside a piece at a time, because there is rarely anywhere to drop a thing. Storm damage cleanup means a stairway cleared, a deck freed, and the wood carried down to the road by hand.
