Tree Trimming Services in the North Bay
Local Experts in Large Tree Trimming, Shaping, and Cutting
Tree pruning keeps your landscape beautiful and your property safe, but it has other benefits, too. Canopy reduction and crown thinning open space for sunshine and airflow, helping trees thrive and making your property look even more picturesque. Regular tree grooming promotes strong, balanced growth and reduces the risk of breakage. These actions don't just benefit your curb appeal—they also help maintain our diverse tree canopy and contribute to better air quality.
In some cases, a tree may be too damaged or unable to remain in place. When that happens, we can handle safe, professional tree removal, along with stump grinding to leave your landscape ready for what’s next.

Sonoma’s Oak Tree Pruning Experts
Few things are more inviting than the sun-dappled shade beneath a Sonoma County oak tree. At Barragan Tree Service, we work to preserve the health and natural shape of these protected giants. Many of the oaks we service are over 200 years old, requiring an artful hand and understanding of the tree’s structure.
Improper trimming can weaken an oak's canopy, expose it to disease, or disrupt its natural growth patterns. North Bay oaks deserve better. Our experienced team understands how to thin crowns, reduce canopies, and remove excess limbs to both reduce fire risk and promote long-term vitality. Preserve the beauty of Sonoma’s iconic oaks with the kind of expertise and care only decades of experience can provide.

Year-Round Tree Trimming in Sonoma County
Our Mediterranean climate brings unique seasonal considerations.
Winter: Trees are dormant, so it’s the perfect time for major pruning and structural work. We focus on removing storm-damaged branches and shaping before spring growth begins.
Spring: Flowering trees and shrubs benefit from light pruning to manage new growth. Early spring is also a good time to judiciously cut dead or dying branches.
Summer: Pruning in the thick of the season (between June and August) controls growth, increases vigor, and promotes better airflow, which supports healthy trees and a well-maintained property.
Fall: As trees enter their dormant period, it’s a great time to prepare for future fire seasons and set your trees up for success during warmer weather.
Though seasonal trimming is ideal, sometimes trees need work at unexpected times, such as after a storm. Count on us for dependable tree services no matter the season!
