Tree care in El Dorado Park
Homes built around a park made from freeway soil
In El Dorado Park, the trees in the park are the city's, and the ones in your yard are yours. El Dorado Regional Park covers 641.9 acres. Its first section opened in 1964, and its rolling hills were made from soil dug out to build the freeway. Its Nature Center holds 105 acres of lakes, a stream and woods. Across the street, El Dorado Park Estates began in 1962 as the first large neighborhood of the builder later known as Shapell Industries. Newcomb Academy opened there in 1963. The park even hosted archery at the 1984 Olympics.
Next to 641.9 acres of park, it is easy to forget your own trees need care too.
Who governs tree work in El Dorado Park
City of Long Beach
El Dorado Park has no tree ordinance of its own — it is governed by the City of Long Beach, and that jurisdiction's rules apply here. The department cares for approximately 94,000 City public trees, and trims roughly 20,000 trees each year. Tree trimming requests must first be inspected to determine the trees condition and decipher a plan of action. Tree Planting Permit Applications and Tree Trimming Permit Applications can be submitted via e-mail. Rules change. Confirm current requirements with the jurisdiction before work begins — filing a permit is the property owner's responsibility, not ours.
The list
Sixty-year-old yard trees in El Dorado Park: lowering, pruning, palms
Supreme Tree Experts prunes, lowers and skins palms in El Dorado Park, where homes date from 1962. Many yard trees here have outgrown their spot, and El Dorado Park families turn to Supreme Tree Experts.
Tree Removal
Homes in El Dorado Park went up from 1962 on, and some yard trees have outgrown their spot. We take those down in sections, lowering each piece clear of the roof. Brush goes straight through the chipper at the curb.
Tree Trimming & Pruning
Our crews thin yard trees back to sturdy side limbs, with deadwood out first. Public trees at the curb belong to the city, which wants a trim permit or an inspection first. We tell you which trees are yours to prune.
Stump Grinding & Stump Removal
Our stump grinders ride in the same convoy as the removal crew. That means a stump can go right after the tree comes down, with no second visit. The spot is left ready for new lawn or a new tree.
Palm Tree Trimming & Skinning
Palm work here clears dead fronds, seed pods and old frond bases while the crew rides our lift truck. Walkers and riders use the park's 4-mile bikeway every day. A tidy palm keeps fronds off paths, walks and parked cars.
Emergency Tree Service
Our 24/7 crew handles storm damage anywhere in El Dorado Park. Many yard trees here are decades old, and one can drop a limb in a winter storm without warning. We cut the tree off the house, then clear the site.
Tree Maintenance
A tree near a house needs more care than one in the wild. The Nature Center shows how trees grow when they are left alone across 105 acres. Close to a roof, yearly checks and light pruning keep a yard tree sound.
Tree Height Reduction
Tall back-yard trees are reduced by cutting each leader to a lower branch, never topped. From the curb, a 75-ft boom truck we own reaches over the roof to trees behind the house. Nothing has to be dragged through the side yard.
Estate Tree Care
Lots with several mature trees get a seasonal care plan built tree by tree. The first visit notes each tree's root spread, lean and distance from the house. From there, work is set in order of urgency.
Tree Shaping & Shrub Shearing
Shearing hedges and shrubs on a steady round keeps them neat and off the walk. Next to a 105-acre nature preserve, shrubs can shelter nesting birds. We plan heavy shearing outside nesting time when we can.
Landscaping
Beds and new trees are planned to suit flat, sunny tract lots from the 1960s. Full sun means some spots in a yard dry out much faster than others. We choose plants and watering that fit each part of the lot.
Hardscape
Paths, patios and edging go down on a compacted base with room left for roots. Big yard trees here have had decades to spread under lawns and walks. We dig carefully and route around main roots.

Before you book in El Dorado Park

The City of Long Beach. The park and its Nature Center are city land. Trees on your own lot are yours. If a public tree by your curb needs trimming, the city wants a permit or an inspection request first.
Mostly from 1962 on. El Dorado Park Estates was the first large neighborhood built by S&S Construction, later Shapell Industries. In 1966 its homes sold for $33,600 to $46,500. Yard trees planted in those years can be large now, so a check of limbs over roofs is worth doing.
105 acres of lakes, a stream and forested areas. Two miles of dirt trails and a quarter-mile paved trail loop around two lakes. It shows how trees grow when they are left alone. Yard trees, close to a house, need more care than that.
Because of the freeway. Soil dug out to build the nearby freeway was used to shape the park's rolling ground. The first section, with its golf course and duck pond, opened in 1964. The next two sections followed in 1971 and 1974.
Yes — $600 for tree services, wherever the job is. Cost turns mostly on tree size and how close our truck gets on your El Dorado Park street.
Yes, 24/7. Many yard trees here are decades old, and one can drop a limb in a winter storm without warning. Call 877-787-7363.
