Tree care in Artesia
Named for its wells, built on dairy land
In Artesia, the city trims its own trees every three years, and your yard trees are up to you. The town is named for the artesian wells that watered its farms. By 1885 its growers sold grapes to wineries, and in the early 1920s Portuguese dairymen moved in. As houses spread, the dairies moved away. Artesia became a city in 1959 and covers just 1.62 square miles. Its 2,410 community trees grow in parks, medians and parkways. The old water tower on Seine Avenue stands on the site of a 1911 well.
Artesia's parkway trees are the city's. The trees inside your lot are yours.
Who governs tree work in Artesia
City of Artesia
Tree work in Artesia follows the city's own tree rules. The Public Works Department maintains 2,410 community trees, which are located throughout the City in public parks, street medians, and residential parkways. The Department offers off-cycle service for trees that may pose a public safety concern, are unhealthy, structurally unsound, or invasive. Rules change. Confirm current requirements with the jurisdiction before work begins — filing a permit is the property owner's responsibility, not ours.

What we do here
Your Artesia yard trees, not the city's 2,410: removal and pruning
Supreme Tree Experts removes, prunes and trims palms on Artesia's small lots, while the city trims its 2,410 community trees. A yard tree gets no city schedule, so Artesia homeowners set one with Supreme Tree Experts.
Tree Removal
Dead, split or oversized yard trees come down piece by piece on Artesia's small lots. Parkway and median trees go through the city's Tree Service Application, which asks for the tree's botanical name. We can name the species for you at the free on-site estimate.
Tree Trimming & Pruning
Pruning here follows each yard tree's own growth, not a fixed calendar. The city trims its community trees every three years, but yard trees get no such visit. We set a timetable with you and keep to it.
Stump Grinding & Stump Removal
We grind stumps below grade so the spot can hold lawn, beds or a new tree. Grinding leaves the side roots to break down in place, which spares nearby walks and fences. The grindings can be raked out or left as mulch.
Palm Tree Trimming & Skinning
A palm's hanging fronds, fruit stalks and old frond bases are cleared from the basket of our lift truck. Artesia covers just 1.62 square miles, so a dropped frond usually hits a walk, a car or a roof. Clearing them early prevents that.
Emergency Tree Service
Split, fallen and hanging trees on private lots get handled 24/7. For a dangerous city tree, Public Works offers off-cycle service at 562-865-6262. For a tree on your side of the lot line, call us.
Tree Maintenance
Care visits check each yard tree for deadwood, split crotches and signs of thirst. The artesian wells that named this town no longer water its yards. Trees rely on the water you give them, and we say which ones need extra.
Tree Height Reduction
Tall trees that have outgrown small lots are lowered to strong side limbs. About 10,000 people live in each square mile here, so homes sit close together. A shorter crown keeps limbs off the roof next door.
Estate Tree Care
Yards with several big trees get a care plan that takes them one at a time over the year. The boom trucks, chippers and stump grinders are all ours and arrive as one crew in one trip. That suits tight Artesia streets.
Tree Shaping & Shrub Shearing
Hedges, vines and shrubs are sheared so they stay off walks, drives and the fence line. On lots this small, a hedge left alone soon spills into the next yard. A steady round of shearing keeps it neat.
Landscaping
Beds, trees and drip watering are planned to fit compact, flat yards. On flat ground, we grade soil gently away from the house so water drains off. We place new trees where their roots and crowns have room.
Hardscape
Patios, walks and edging go on a compacted base sized for a small yard. The city's 2,410 community trees include parkway trees growing right beside private walks. We set new paving back so those roots and your slab don't fight.

Questions worth asking before you book in Artesia
The 6 worth settling before tree work starts in Artesia. If yours is not here, call 877-787-7363 and ask.
Every three years. Public Works trims all 2,410 community trees on a three-year cycle. It adds off-cycle care if a tree is a safety concern, unhealthy, structurally unsound or invasive. Call Public Works at 562-865-6262 to ask about yours. Trees inside your own lot are not part of that count.
Use the city's Tree Service Application. It asks for the tree's location, its botanical name and your reason. The city then reviews it under the Artesia Municipal Code. If you are not sure of the species, our arborist can name it during the free estimate visit.
Because of its wells. Artesian wells, where water rises on its own, once watered the farms here. The old water tower on Seine Avenue stands on a well site from 1911 and can hold 50,000 gallons, though it is no longer used. Yard trees today depend on the water you give them.
The city does. Artesia Park on Clarkdale Avenue, with its four lighted ball fields and picnic shelter, is city land, and its trees count among the 2,410 community trees. Public Works is on the same avenue, at 18747 Clarkdale, if you need to report a problem there.
Yes — $600 for tree services, wherever the job is. Price here mostly depends on the tree's size and how easy it is to reach on a small lot.
Yes, 24/7. Lots here are small, so a split tree often reaches a house, a car or the next yard. Call 877-787-7363.
