« Had a massive oak in my backyard that was getting out of hand, and Bakersfield Tree Service made it look like new again. The crew was out here for about 4 hours, and they didn't leave a single branch on my deck or patio, their cleanup was seriously impressive. My neighbors have already asked who did the work because it looks so good. »
Tree Trimming & Pruning
« Our front hedge was completely overgrown and looked terrible after the wet spring we had. These guys shaped it up beautifully and hauled everything away same day. It's like a whole new entrance to our house now. »
Hedge Trimming & Shrub Care
« Called them to trim back our front yard hedges before summer and they were professional from start to finish. The two-man crew worked efficiently and left the property cleaner than when they arrived. Really happy with the results. »
Hedge Trimming & Shrub Care
« We needed to clear out a slope on our property to make room for a new deck, and Bakersfield Tree Service handled the whole thing. They removed about a dozen smaller trees and all the brush, graded it down, and left us with a clean, usable area. Couldn't have asked for a smoother process. »
Land Clearing
« Had them clear out the back corner of our property where we wanted to add a gravel patio area. They removed the vegetation, stumps, and debris, took about a day and a half. The site was prepped perfectly and ready for what we wanted to do next. »
Land Clearing
« After they removed our old pine tree, we had an ugly stump sitting there for months. Called them back to grind it out, and it was gone in under an hour. They mulched it all and even spread it around the yard, one less eyesore to worry about. »
Stump Grinding
« Our big backyard tree was getting leggy and needed some serious pruning work. The arborist they sent knew exactly what to do and kept the tree looking natural while opening up the canopy. The difference in how much light gets to the yard now is incredible. »
Tree Trimming & Pruning
« We weren't sure if our mature oak tree was healthy or if we should remove it, so we got a consultation. The arborist spent time looking at it, explained what he saw, and gave us honest advice about its condition. Turned out it just needed some pruning and care, which saved us money and the tree. »

When a mature tree becomes a liability, swift and safe removal is essential. Bakersfield Tree Service specializes in professional tree removal for large trees near homes, garages, fences, and power lines. Whether you're dealing with a towering oak that threatens your roof, a pine with structural damage, or a eucalyptus that's become unstable, our certified arborists assess the risk and execute removal with precision and safety as our top priorities.
Storm damage doesn't wait for business hours, and neither do we. After heavy winds, lightning strikes, or severe weather events, falling trees and hazardous hanging limbs can damage vehicles, block driveways, threaten rooflines, or create dangerous conditions on your property. Our emergency tree service is available 24/7 to respond quickly when disaster strikes. If you're facing a tree emergency in Bakersfield or nearby areas, call (661) 387-3803 immediately, and our team will dispatch a crew to assess and resolve the hazard.
Large tree removal projects often require careful planning, especially when trees are close to structures, utilities, or neighboring properties. We handle site access challenges, manage debris removal and hauling, and coordinate with utility companies when necessary. Every removal is performed by licensed professionals using industry-standard safety equipment and techniques. After the job is complete, we can also arrange stump grinding or removal to fully restore your yard.
Tree removal costs in Bakersfield vary based on several factors: the size and species of the tree, its location on your property, proximity to structures or power lines, ground accessibility for equipment, and the complexity of the removal itself. A small tree removal is considerably less expensive than removing a mature 80-foot oak, just as a tree in an open yard costs less to remove than one entangled with utility lines or overhanging a neighbor's fence. For detailed information on pricing and to understand what your specific project might cost, please visit our pricing page.
Beyond tree removal, Bakersfield Tree Service offers a full range of tree care solutions to maintain your landscape's health and appearance. Our tree trimming and pruning services promote healthy growth, improve structure, and reduce disease risk, especially when performed during the dormant season from late fall through winter. We also provide professional stump grinding to eliminate unsightly stumps and reclaim yard space. Additional services include hedge trimming and shrub care, land clearing, and arborist consultation for complex tree health or property planning questions.
Tree removal regulations in Bakersfield and surrounding communities vary by city and jurisdiction. Many municipalities require permits for removal of trees above a certain diameter or for trees designated as heritage or protected species, such as oaks or redwoods. If your property is within an HOA community, additional approval may be needed for visible tree removals. Property line considerations also apply if a neighbor's tree has branches overhanging your property. Rather than navigating these requirements alone, Bakersfield Tree Service can advise you on local permit requirements and help ensure your project complies with all applicable rules. Contact us for guidance on the permitting process specific to your location.
