“Had them out to trim back this massive oak tree in my front yard that was blocking half the sunlight. The crew showed up on time, worked efficiently, and shaped it up beautifully. My whole yard looks brighter now.”
Tree Trimming & Pruning
“Really impressed with how they handled the pruning of our backyard trees. They cut everything cleanly, hauled away all the branches same day, and left the yard spotless. Didn't have to deal with any mess afterward.”
Tree Trimming & Pruning
“Our hedges at the front entrance were totally overgrown and looked terrible. These guys shaped them up into nice clean lines in just a couple hours. Neighbors even commented on how much better the curb appeal looks now.”
Hedge Trimming & Shrub Care
“Called them out because I wasn't sure if a tree near my property line was healthy or needed to come down. The arborist gave me a thorough assessment and honest advice about what to do. Really appreciated the professional guidance without any pressure to do unnecessary work.”
Arborist Consultation
“We needed a large tree removed from our backyard to make room for a deck. They took it down safely in one afternoon, and the crew was super careful not to damage the fence or nearby plants. Excellent work from start to finish.”
Tree Removal
“That dead tree in our small backyard was a safety hazard. Modesto Tree Service came out and removed it without any issues, even though the space was tight. They made it look easy.”
Tree Removal
“Needed an old tree taken down right next to our fence line. Was nervous they'd damage the fence, but they were incredibly careful and precise with the removal. The tree came down perfectly and the fence is totally fine.”
Tree Removal
“After the tree removal, we had this ugly stump left in the yard. They ground it out completely, and now we've got a level spot where we can actually use that part of the garden again. Best decision to get it done.”

Modesto Tree Service is your trusted local partner for professional tree care throughout Modesto and the surrounding Central Valley communities. Whether you're a homeowner in the tree-lined neighborhoods of the College Area, the sprawling ranch properties of south Modesto and Salida, or anywhere in between, our team brings decades of expertise to every job. We serve Modesto, Ceres, Turlock, Riverbank, Oakdale, and nearby areas with the same commitment to quality, safety, and customer satisfaction.
From the vintage Spanish Revival and Craftsman bungalows with mature London planes and valley oaks shading their front yards, to the modern two-story tract homes with backyard pools and ornamental plantings, Modesto's diverse residential landscape demands arborists who understand local trees, local soil, and local challenges. That's why homeowners searching for tree service near me in Modesto choose us first. Call (209) 554-6358 today or request a free estimate to see how we can help.
When a mature Modesto ash, deodar cedar, or coast redwood becomes a liability, safe removal requires skill, equipment, and experience. Large tree removal in Modesto is often a high-value project, especially when the tree stands near your home, garage, pool, vehicle, or power lines. Whether a tree has already fallen across your roof or fence, or you've noticed hazardous hanging limbs threatening your property after wind or storm damage, the stakes are too high for amateur work. Our fully insured arborists assess structural integrity, plan safe rigging and dismantling, and haul away debris, leaving your property clean and secure.
Emergency tree service is available 24/7 because storms and tree failures don't wait for business hours. If a tree has fallen on your home, vehicle, or fence, or if you see a cracked top or split limb threatening to drop on someone, call (209) 554-6358 immediately. Our emergency crews respond quickly to stabilize hazards and restore safety to your property.
The dry, hot Central Valley summers put stress on shallow-rooted ornamentals and aging street trees, and winter storms can topple weak or diseased specimens. Overhead utility lines along rear lot lines and the prevalence of large trees in older neighborhoods mean that a single removal job can easily run into the thousands of dollars in equipment, labor, and liability if not handled correctly. Trust Modesto Tree Service to manage the complexity and protect your investment.
Tree removal cost in Modesto depends on several factors: the size and species of the tree, how easily our crew can access it, how close it stands to your home or other structures, and the complexity of the removal itself. A small ornamental pear in an open yard costs far less than a 60-foot deodar cedar tangled in power lines or leaning over your pool. For a detailed breakdown of what to expect, visit our pricing page or contact us for a free estimate tailored to your specific situation.
Beyond removal, Modesto Tree Service handles the full spectrum of tree and landscape care. Stump grinding eliminates the eyesore and tripping hazard left behind after felling, while professional tree trimming and pruning keeps your canopy healthy, balanced, and clear of overhead wires and rooflines. We also offer hedge trimming and shrub care, land clearing for property development or orchard work, and arborist consultation to help you make informed decisions about your trees.
Many cities in the greater Modesto area require permits for tree removal, particularly for trees above a certain diameter or those designated as protected heritage species, such as valley oaks or coast redwoods. Local ordinances may also apply to visible removals in HOA communities, and property line rules govern how you can handle a neighbor's overhanging limbs. While navigating these regulations can be confusing, our team is familiar with local requirements and can advise you on the permit process. Contact us for a free estimate, and we'll help ensure your tree work complies with all applicable rules before we begin.
