Our Services
Complete tree care for Mentone's foothill communities and historic neighborhoods. We understand the unique challenges of your transitional climate zone.
Managing Trees Near Mill Creek
Mentone's defining feature is Mill Creek, which cuts through the community and creates a ribbon of riparian habitat with mature sycamores, cottonwoods, and willows. Properties backing up to the creek corridor or along the greenway enjoy mature shade trees but also deal with ongoing challenges including flood debris, erosion undermining root systems, and trees growing too large for their spaces. The combination of seasonal water availability and summer heat stress creates unique maintenance needs for these creek-side trees.
We provide specialized care for Mentone properties along Mill Creek, understanding how seasonal creek flows affect tree health and stability. Our tree removal services can handle large riparian trees that have been undermined by erosion or damaged by flooding, working carefully to protect creek banks. We also offer regular maintenance for creek-adjacent properties including removing flood debris caught in trees, pruning branches over structures, and managing volunteer growth that sprouts after winter floods.
Tree Services for Hillside Homes
Many Mentone properties sit on slopes near Crafton Hills or along the rising terrain north of town. These hillside locations offer great views but present tree care challenges including difficult access, steep terrain that complicates safe removal, and fire risk from native vegetation. Properties on slopes also deal with shallow rocky soil that limits root development and affects tree stability. Trees growing on hillsides need different management approaches than those on flat lots, particularly when it comes to structural stability and fire clearance.
We specialize in tree work on Mentone's hillside properties, bringing experience with steep terrain and challenging access. Our crew can safely work on slopes where getting equipment positioned requires expertise and careful planning. We provide strategic tree removal to create fire defensible space on hillsides, selective thinning to reduce fuel loads while maintaining erosion control, and ongoing maintenance for established trees on challenging terrain. Our arborists can assess tree stability on slopes and recommend appropriate management to prevent failures during storms or high winds.
Caring for Mentone's Old Citrus Trees
Mentone has deep agricultural roots with citrus production dating back over a century. Many older properties still have remnants of citrus groves including mature orange, lemon, and grapefruit trees that are no longer commercially productive but hold sentimental value for longtime residents. These heritage trees often need assessment and maintenance to remain safe, as citrus trees can become brittle and unstable with age. Properties along Mentone Boulevard, around Opal Avenue, and in older residential areas frequently have aging citrus trees that homeowners struggle to maintain or decide whether to keep.
We help Mentone residents make informed decisions about heritage citrus trees on their properties. Our certified arborists can assess tree health and structural integrity, provide maintenance pruning to extend the life of trees worth saving, or handle removal when trees have declined beyond recovery. We understand the attachment people have to historic trees that have been part of properties for decades. Our complete removal services include grinding stumps so properties can be replanted with more appropriate species or converted to low-water landscaping that suits current conditions.
