structure, using each branch to achieve a visually pleasing and secure trim. Unlike many crews that strip out the center branches, we know that these inner branches are vital for transporting water to the highest parts of the tree. Stripping the center while leaving the ends untouched can create dangerous leverage and imbalance. Instead, we begin our work at the ends and carefully trim back into the tree, removing 20-30% of the branch weight. This method keeps the tree healthy, balanced, and safe. When it comes to removals, our crew approaches every job with the utmost care, ensuring the safety of both the environment and the people around. Our team is highly conscientious, paying close attention to every detail to deliver exceptional results while keeping safety as our top priority.

John’s great-grandfather was none other than Bidwell’s personal landscaper and gardener, a legacy that continues to inspire and guide Petersen Tree Care today. For John, working with trees is more than just a job; it’s a natural fit, a continuation of a family tradition that honors the beauty and balance of the environment.
