Paradise is rebuilding, and trees matter more than ever. After the Camp Fire, many properties still carry fire-killed pines, regrowth brush, and hazardous limbs that threaten new homes rising across the ridge. Chico Tree Service removes those hazards, clears defensible space, and helps Paradise homeowners reclaim their land safely.

Whether you're managing a rebuilt home among the pines on Paradise Ridge, or maintaining a property in the valley below, our crews know the terrain, the species, and the urgency. We've been serving Paradise and surrounding areas from our base in Chico for years, and we understand what it takes to keep your lot safe and your home protected.

Tree Service in Paradise (95969)

Paradise sits on a ridge thick with ponderosa pine, incense cedar, and foothill pine, mixed with oak and brush that regrows fast after fire. Properties here range from new construction to older homes tucked among the trees. Many lots still carry dead or damaged timber from the 2018 fire, along with aggressive brush encroachment. That's where we come in. Our experienced arborists assess hazard trees, remove fire-killed timber, and clear defensible space around structures so you can sleep soundly.

The terrain is steep in places, access can be tight, and power lines run near many properties. We've worked these conditions countless times. We know how to drop a tree safely on a narrow lot, navigate the ridge roads, and coordinate with local inspectors when permits are required. We're fully insured, and we treat every job like it's our own home.

How a Job Works in Paradise

You call us at (530) 267-1359 or request a free estimate online. One of our crew leads will visit your property, walk the site, assess the tree or trees in question, and talk through your concerns. For fire-damaged timber or defensible space work, we'll discuss what needs to come down, what can stay, and what the cleanup will look like. No pressure, no surprise fees. We give you a clear estimate in writing.

When we start work, our team brings the right equipment for Paradise's terrain and tree sizes. We'll fell trees safely, chip brush and smaller limbs on site when possible, and haul larger debris. If a stump is in the way, we grind it out. On narrow lots or near structures, we work methodically and keep the job controlled. On steeper ridge properties, we may use rigging to lower sections safely.

Cleanup is part of the job. We rake, haul, and leave your property clean and ready. You'll see the difference immediately, and you'll know the hazard is gone.

Tree removal in Paradise typically runs from a few hundred dollars for a small dead pine to several thousand for a large hazard tree or a full defensible space project. Stump grinding starts at $150, and brush clearing depends on volume and access. The main cost drivers are tree size and species, how close it is to your house or power lines, whether we can chip debris on site, and how steep the terrain is. A free estimate from our team will give you an exact price for your situation. Call (530) 267-1359 today, or let us know what you need and we'll get back to you with a firm quote.

I have dead ponderosa pines on my property from the fire. Do I need a permit to remove them in Paradise?

In many cases, yes. Tree removal permits are required in Paradise for trees above a certain diameter or DBH, and some species may have additional protections. We recommend checking with the Town of Paradise or contacting us first, and we can help coordinate the permitting process. Visit the Town of Paradise website for current ordinances, or call us at (530) 267-1359 and we'll advise you on what's needed before we start.

A big branch from my neighbor's oak is hanging over my roof. What can I do about it?

You have a right to trim branches that overhang your property, but only to the property line. We recommend a friendly conversation with your neighbor first. If that doesn't work, we can trim the branch back safely on your side. If the tree is a protected heritage oak, local rules may apply, so it's smart to check before cutting. We handle these situations all the time and can help you navigate it.

A storm knocked down a tree and it's leaning on my house. How fast can you respond?

Call us immediately at (530) 267-1359. We offer emergency tree service and respond to storm damage as quickly as we can. We'll assess whether the tree is stable, whether your home is at immediate risk, and what it takes to remove it safely. In many cases we can get a crew out the same day or next morning.

What's the difference between tree trimming and tree removal, and when would I need each in Paradise?

Trimming or pruning removes dead branches, improves shape, and reduces hazard without taking the whole tree down. It's ideal for healthy trees that just need maintenance or clearance from your roof or power lines. Removal is necessary when a tree is dead, diseased, too close to structures, or a genuine hazard. After the fire, many Paradise properties need removal of dead timber, followed by trimming of surviving trees to restore the canopy. We'll assess which trees can be saved and which need to go.

How much does defensible space clearing cost, and what does it actually involve?

Defensible space means removing dead trees, low branches, and dense brush within about 100 feet of your home, so fire can't race through the canopy or fuel ladder up to your roof. Cost depends on lot size, how much dead timber you have, and how dense the brush is. A typical Paradise property might run $1,500 to $5,000 or more for full clearing. We'll walk your lot, identify what needs to come out, and give you a firm price. Call (530) 267-1359 for a free estimate.

Are you fully insured to work on my Paradise property?

Yes. We are fully insured with general liability and workers' compensation coverage. Your property and our crew are protected. We carry the insurance levels required to work safely and legally in Paradise and throughout the Chico area.

What's the best time of year to trim or remove trees in Paradise?

Late fall through early spring is ideal for most work, when trees are dormant and the fire season risk is lower. Summer heat and dry brush make fire season a concern, so we're more cautious with heavy cutting then. That said, if a tree is dead, diseased, or dangerous, we remove it anytime. Storm damage and emergency work happen year-round. If you're planning defensible space work or preventive maintenance, fall and winter are your best bets.
