Long Beach's tree-lined streets are one of the neighborhood's defining features, but those towering Mexican fan palms, massive ficus trees, and brittle eucalyptus also demand serious care and attention. We've spent years working on everything from the bungalow-lined parkways of Bixby Knolls to the canal-front properties of Naples, and we know exactly what these trees need to thrive, and when they need to come down.

Whether you're dealing with a ficus that's cracking your driveway, a eucalyptus limb threatening your roof during Santa Ana season, or an emergency removal after a storm, Long Beach Tree Service is the crew your neighbors call. We're insured, and we know this city's trees inside and out.

Tree Service in Long Beach (90804)

Long Beach sits on a flat coastal plain with a mix of housing stock that spans nearly a century. You've got Spanish Revival and Craftsman bungalows with deep parkways in Belmont Heights and California Heights, mid-century ranch homes with tight side yards in Los Altos and Lakewood Village, and newer two-story stucco homes near Signal Hill. Every lot is different, and so is every tree problem.

The trees here are big and they're aggressive. Mexican fan palms and queen palms tower over the streets. Indian laurel and weeping ficus have surface roots that lift sidewalks, crack driveways, and damage sewer lines. Blue-gum and red-gum eucalyptus dominate older neighborhoods, and they get brittle fast, especially during our long dry summers and fall Santa Ana wind events. We also see shot hole borer killing sycamores and coral trees across the region, and that's a problem that needs fast attention. Our team has removed trees from properties backing up to power lines, worked in tight lots where access is nearly impossible, and coordinated with HOAs on visible removals. We understand Long Beach terrain, Long Beach trees, and Long Beach property lines.

How a Job Works in Long Beach

It starts with a free on-site estimate. We'll meet you at your property in Long Beach, assess the tree or trees, talk through your goals, and give you a realistic price with no surprises. We'll also let you know if you need a city permit (many removals do) and what the timeline looks like.

On the day of work, our crew shows up with the right equipment for your lot. If you've got a narrow driveway or a ficus with roots tangled under your foundation, we'll work carefully and efficiently. If there's a power line nearby or your roof is close, we'll take extra precautions. We handle the removal, the chipping or hauling, and the stump grinding if that's part of the job. For trimming and pruning, we'll thin the canopy, remove dead wood, and shape the tree to keep it healthy and safe.

When we're done, we clean up. Your property gets swept, debris is hauled away, and you get a final walkthrough so you know exactly what we did and why.

Tree removal in Long Beach typically runs from a few hundred dollars for a smaller tree to several thousand for a large eucalyptus or ficus with complex access. Most jobs fall in the $800 to $3,500 range, depending on the tree's size and species, how close it is to structures or power lines, and how easy it is to reach. Trimming and pruning start at $250 for routine work. Stump grinding runs from $150 on up. Emergency removal after a storm is always a free estimate, and we often can get crews out the same day or next morning. The best move is to call us at (562) 548-8539 for a free on-site quote. We'll give you a real number based on what we see.

I have a big weeping ficus in my front parkway in Belmont Heights, and its roots are lifting the sidewalk and cracking my driveway. What are my options?

You've got a few choices. If the tree is healthy and you like it, we can do root pruning and install a root barrier to slow down the damage, though this is a long-term management strategy. If the damage is severe or the tree is declining, removal is often the cleanest solution. We can grind the stump and, if needed, help you plan what to plant next. Call us at (562) 548-8539 and we'll walk through the options on your property.

A big eucalyptus branch snapped off in the last Santa Ana wind and it's hanging over my roof. Can you get out here today or tomorrow?

Yes. We handle emergency tree work in Long Beach and surrounding areas, and we prioritize storm damage calls. Hanging limbs over your house are a serious hazard, especially if another wind event is forecast. Call us immediately at (562) 548-8539. We often can get a crew out the same day or first thing in the morning. We'll assess the damage, remove the hazard safely, and clean up before we leave.

How much does it cost to remove a tree in Long Beach?

It depends on the tree's size, species, location, and how accessible it is. A small ornamental tree might run $500 to $1,200. A large eucalyptus or ficus, especially one close to a house or power line, could be $2,000 to $4,000 or more. We include stump grinding in most removal quotes. The only way to get an accurate price is a free on-site estimate. Call (562) 548-8539 and we'll give you a real number.

Do I need a permit to remove a tree on my property in Long Beach?

Many tree removals in Long Beach require a city permit, especially for larger trees or protected species like oaks. Some neighborhoods also have heritage tree ordinances. The City of Long Beach website has information on local tree regulations and permit requirements. We handle all the permitting details as part of our job, and we'll let you know upfront if a permit is needed and what it will cost. If you're in an HOA community, you may also need HOA approval for visible removals.

My neighbor's ficus branches are hanging over my property line and dropping leaves and fruit all over my yard. What can I do?

You have the right to trim branches that cross your property line back to the line, but you cannot enter your neighbor's property to do it. You can hire us to do the trimming from your side. If the tree is causing real damage (roots, limbs threatening structures), you may have legal recourse, but the first step is usually a polite conversation with your neighbor. If you're in an HOA community, the HOA may have rules about this too. We can advise you on what's safe and legal to remove, and we'll handle the work cleanly.

Are you fully insured for tree work on my Long Beach property?

Yes. We are fully insured with general liability and workers' compensation coverage. Your property and our crew are protected on every job. We carry the coverage you need and the coverage we need to work safely and legally in Long Beach and surrounding areas.

I want to keep my trees healthy through the dry season and prepare for fall Santa Ana winds. What should I do?

Summer drought stress and fall wind events are the big challenges in Long Beach. The best preventive move is to have a experienced arborist assess your trees and recommend pruning to remove dead wood, thin the canopy for better wind resistance, and improve overall structure. Eucalyptus and coral trees are especially prone to brittle failure in wind, so removing dead limbs now prevents hazards later. We offer arborist consultations starting at $95. Call (562) 548-8539 to schedule an evaluation and get a plan for the season ahead.
