Best Tree Services in Manhatten Beach, CA
At Tom’s Tree Service, we provide full-service tree care at affordable prices, from regular trimming and arborist guidance to specialized palm and fruit tree work.
Every project is handled with precision, protecting homes, yards, and businesses from damage while improving the health and safety of your landscape. Our team treats each property with care, ensuring clean results and reliable service you can trust.
Tree Trimming & Pruning
Regular trimming keeps trees safe, healthy, and looking their best. In our city, coastal winds can cause overgrown branches to break and damage roofs or power lines.
Our specialists use proper pruning techniques to shape trees without harming their growth. We work on everything from backyard shade trees to larger specimens lining Manhattan Avenue.
Tree Removal
Some trees become unsafe due to root damage, age, or storm impact. In neighborhoods close to the Strand, soil erosion can speed up decline, making removals necessary for safety.
Tom’s tree crew is fully bonded and insured, using the latest rigging equipment to remove trees without damaging nearby homes or landscaping.
Emergency Tree Services (24/7)
Storms and strong coastal winds sometimes bring down branches without warning. We provide 24/7 emergency response to clear hazards quickly and safely.
From Ocean Avenue businesses to residential streets, our crew arrives with equipment ready to remove dangerous debris and restore safety. Just call us at (714) 531-5379.
Palm Tree Services
Palms are a signature feature along the beach and sidewalks throughout our city. Without maintenance, their fronds become fire hazards or fall onto streets.
Our specialists carefully trim and clean palms, from tall Mexican Fan Palms along the coast to smaller Pygmy Date Palms planted in front yards.
We also remove seed pods that attract pests and stain walkways, and handle complete frond disposal so you are never left with a mess.
Fruit Tree Care
In neighborhoods with family yards, fruit trees are part of daily life. Avocados, citrus, and figs are common here, but without seasonal care they produce poorly and invite pests.
At Tom’s tree service, we trim fruit trees to improve air flow, sunlight exposure, and yield, helping homeowners enjoy healthier harvests year after year.
Arborist Consultation
Our ISA-certified tree doctors provide in-depth assessments for property owners across our city. Salt air, compacted soils, and irrigation practices affect how trees grow here.
During a consultation, we evaluate tree health, check for pests, and recommend treatments that extend lifespan. This service is especially valuable for large ficus, eucalyptus, and mature palms found in many neighborhoods.
Defensible Space Fire Clearance
Dry brush and overgrown trees in our coastal hillsides and canyon neighborhoods can put homes at risk during fire season.
Our ISA-certified team clears excess vegetation, trims back hazardous branches, and removes ground fuel to create a safe buffer zone around your property.
With licensed and insured crews, we provide clearance that meets local fire code requirements while keeping your landscape healthy and attractive.
Stump Removal & Grinding
Old stumps attract pests and make lawns difficult to maintain. They are also dangerous for your children and pets.
Around Sand Dune Park and residential yards nearby, we grind stumps below the surface with specialized machines, so you can replant, re-sod, or expand your outdoor space. The process is quick, clean, and leaves the area ready for new use.
Tree Planting Service
Adding new trees improves property value and shade. Along quiet residential streets, many homeowners choose palm tree planting, jacarandas, magnolias, or native oaks for beauty and resilience.
We help with species selection, placement, and soil preparation so trees establish strong roots and long-term growth.
Tree Transplanting Service
When a tree needs to be relocated instead of removed, our team can handle it. For example, moving a mature specimen during a remodel along Marine Avenue requires careful root balling, transport, and replanting.
We provide the equipment and expertise to give trees the best chance of survival in their new location.
Landscape Designing
Beautiful landscapes require more than just mowing. We create and maintain outdoor environments that match the coastal character of our city.
From drought-tolerant plantings to seasonal flower beds, our services combine design with ongoing care to keep properties inviting year-round.
Fence Installation & Repair
Fencing adds security and curb appeal. In neighborhoods across our city, we have built wood, vinyl, and decorative metal fences that stand up to coastal weather.
Our team handles design, permitting, and installation with craftsmanship and attention to detail.
Sprinkler System Installation
Efficient irrigation is critical in our climate. We design and install sprinkler systems that conserve water while keeping landscapes lush.
From simple residential setups to larger systems for multi-unit properties, our licensed team ensures even coverage and long-term reliability.
Turf / Sod Installation
A healthy lawn transforms outdoor spaces. Our crew installs high-quality turf varieties suited for coastal conditions, ensuring durability and vibrant green color.
From front yard near Live Oak Park or a commercial property, we prepare the soil, lay sod with precision, and leave you with a lawn ready for use.
Tree Cabling and Bracing
Large trees with heavy canopies sometimes develop weak branches. In areas like Valley Drive, we have reinforced mature sycamores and eucalyptus with cabling systems to reduce the risk of breakage.
This service extends the life of valuable trees and provides peace of mind for property owners.
Routine Maintenance Plans
Ongoing care prevents costly issues. Many of our Manhattan Beach residents prefer seasonal check-ins for trimming, fertilization, and health inspections.
A maintenance plan ensures your property’s trees are always safe, attractive, and well cared for without you needing to schedule each service individually.
