Professional Tree Removal Services
JJI Tree Service provides safe, professional tree removal throughout Redwood City and the San Francisco Peninsula. We remove hazardous, dead, storm-damaged, large, and unwanted trees for residential and commercial properties.
Our licensed, bonded, and insured crew uses careful planning, professional climbing and rigging techniques, and specialized equipment to protect your home, landscaping, and surrounding property throughout the removal process.
WHAT WE DO
Tree Removal Throughout the Peninsula
Trees may need to be removed because of structural instability, disease, storm damage, declining health, construction plans, conflicts with structures, or other safety concerns.
JJI Tree Service handles tree removal projects ranging from smaller residential trees to large, mature trees located near homes, fences, garages, driveways, landscaping, and neighboring properties.
Our crew evaluates the tree and surrounding work area before removal begins. When a tree cannot be safely felled in one piece, it can be dismantled in controlled sections using climbing, rigging, and lowering techniques.

TREE REMOVAL SERVICES
Tree Removal for Different Property Needs
The safest removal method depends on the tree's size, condition, location, surrounding structures, and site access.
Hazardous Tree Removal
Removal of trees with structural defects, significant decay, instability, or other conditions that may create a risk to people or property.
Dead Tree Removal
Dead and declining trees can become increasingly unpredictable. Removal can help reduce the risk of falling limbs or complete tree failure.
Large Tree Removal
Large trees may require sectional dismantling, specialized rigging, controlled lowering, and careful management of large wood and debris.
Emergency Tree Removal
Fallen trees, storm-damaged trees, broken limbs, and sudden hazardous conditions may require prompt evaluation and removal.
Residential Tree Removal
Tree removal around homes, garages, fences, driveways, landscaping, pools, and other residential improvements.
Construction Tree Removal
Tree removal for approved additions, ADUs, landscaping, construction projects, and other property improvements.
Storm-Damaged Tree Removal
Removal of trees or major tree sections damaged by wind, storms, saturated soil, branch failure, or other weather events.
Commercial Tree Removal
Tree removal for businesses, commercial properties, multifamily properties, contractors, and property managers.
OUR PROCESS
Safe & Professional Tree Removal Process
Every tree removal begins with an evaluation of the tree's condition, size, location, surrounding structures, access, nearby landscaping, and potential hazards.
When necessary, our crew uses climbing, ropes, rigging systems, controlled lowering techniques, and professional tree equipment to dismantle trees section by section.
Trees located in confined areas may require a different approach than trees growing in open areas. The removal plan is selected based on the conditions of each individual project.
Evaluate
Assess the tree, property, access, hazards, and surrounding structures.
Plan
Determine the safest removal sequence, equipment, and rigging requirements.
Remove
Carefully dismantle or remove the tree using the appropriate technique.
Clean Up
Process debris and leave the work area clean when the project is complete.
TREE REMOVAL COST
What Affects the Cost of Tree Removal?
Tree removal pricing varies because every tree and property is different. A site evaluation allows us to determine the safest removal method and provide an accurate estimate.

AFTER TREE REMOVAL
Stump Grinding
Tree removal and stump grinding are separate services. After a tree is removed, stump grinding can be added to reduce the remaining stump below ground level and prepare the area for landscaping or other future use.
