Managing Lakewood's Planned Tree Canopy
Lakewood was designed in the late 1940s as one of the first planned communities in California. The original developers planted street trees systematically, which means many neighborhoods have the same species aging at the same rate. Properties along the numbered streets from Del Amo Boulevard to Carson Street often have matching ficus, liquidambar, or camphor trees that now reach 50 or 60 feet tall.
These aging parkway trees create consistent challenges throughout Lakewood. Root systems lift sidewalks and damage underground pipes. Large trees drop significant amounts of leaves and debris that clog gutters and create fire hazards. We handle systematic tree removal and replacement for entire blocks when aging trees reach the end of their safe lifespan.
Unlike the random mix you see in Norwalk or Bellflower, Lakewood's uniform planting means professional tree care can address neighborhood-wide issues efficiently. When one property needs work, often the neighbors do too. We coordinate multi-property projects that save everyone money on mobilization and equipment costs.
Tree Care for Lakewood Commercial Properties
The Lakewood Center area and the commercial corridors along Lakewood Boulevard and Bellflower Boulevard require regular tree maintenance to stay attractive and safe. Shopping centers, medical buildings, and office parks depend on well-maintained landscapes to attract customers and tenants. We provide contracted services that keep these properties looking professional year-round.
Parking lot trees in Lakewood face harsh conditions from reflected heat, compacted soil, and occasional vehicle impact. These stressed trees need more frequent attention than residential specimens. We schedule regular trimming to keep branches clear of buildings and light fixtures while removing dead wood before it becomes a liability.
Industrial properties in the eastern part of Lakewood near the 605 Freeway have different needs than retail sites. These properties prioritize safety and access over aesthetics. We help facility managers maintain trees that won't interfere with truck traffic or create visibility problems while still providing required landscaping for zoning compliance.
Serving Lakewood Homeowners
Lakewood homes typically sit on standard suburban lots with front and back yards. Most properties have one to three mature trees plus parkway trees managed by the city. Homeowners call us when backyard trees outgrow their space, when roots damage pools or patios, or when branches threaten roofs during storms.
The neighborhoods between Candlewood Street and Carson Street have some of the most established trees in Lakewood. Properties here inherited large specimens planted by the original owners 70 years ago. These heritage trees add tremendous value but require expert care to remain safe. We evaluate whether these trees can be preserved through pruning or whether removal and replacement makes more sense.
Many Lakewood residents also need help with fruit trees, palms, and ornamental species in their backyards. Unpruned citrus and avocado trees become unproductive and attract pests. Tall palms need specialized equipment for safe trimming. Your property deserves professional attention whether you're dealing with a single problem tree or managing a full landscape that needs regular care.
Our Process
We start with a free evaluation at your Lakewood property. Our certified arborist examines your trees, checks for structural problems or disease, and identifies safety concerns. We discuss your goals and explain what work is necessary versus what is optional. You receive a detailed written estimate that clearly outlines the scope and cost of the project with no hidden charges.
