We can prune any size of tree, big or small. We can remove deadwood, reduce weight and length on branches, open up and lift canopies and much more. It is rare nowadays that tree contractors are even familiar with proper pruning techniques. The type of pruning method, the right place to make cuts, the amount and selection of branches to be removed, and the scientific effect are all things that need to be taken into account. We approach the task of tree pruning with safety and surgical accuracy. Pruning can either make or break a tree and there is no room for error. We understand and are well versed in all of the ISA arboricultural practices surrounding pruning and will guide you through every step of the process to make sure that your tree is getting pruned in a way that works for you and for the tree itself. We often times have an ISA certified arborist on staff or consulting before a project. Need a tree pruned? Big or small , we got you covered!

Our speciality! With climate change, droughts, wildfires and mass tree death ravaging the state of California, forest management is an essential service that is in short supply. Flammable invasive trees and competitive growth patterns leave forested areas ravaged and unhealthy. The unhealthy nature of our forests exponentially increases the amount of weak tree that fall in storms which leads to the destruction of the surrounding trees. Overcrowding from invasive species kills slower growing native trees and use up water. Forest management is important and we provide the best, most comprehensive service that you will find. We are experts in performing work like thinning (selective removal), lot clearing, brush removal, timber harvesting and wildfire prevention work to enhance the health and safety of forests. We can also perform tree inventories, forest treatments and other scientific forestry work to improve public and private forested areas.
Removal and trimming of overgrown grass and brush, mulching, small tree and sapling removal, and lot clearing. If you need any of this work done, we got you covered with precise and neat quality using safe and efficient techniques and the most up to date tree care and forestry practices. Our process always maintains the health of each plant in your green space while achieving your desired result wether it is for visibility, fire prevention, forest health, or development.
We also offer a wide range of other services : Stump grinding, site prep, erosion control, hedges, fine pruning, tree planting, storm damage cleanup, grading, brush removal, chipping
Illusion Tree Care and Forestry Division:
The West Coast needs a safe, productive and environmentally minded land clearing contractor. We are here to deliver. From detailed planning that takes into account native wildlife and plant species, drainage, soil and water management and more we completely maintain and improve the environmental integrity of the land we are working on wether it is residential or commercial. Our mechanized process is designed to deliver fast, safe and efficient land clearing and site preparation services for plots of land ranging from backyards to farms.
We provide stump grinding services to eliminate stumps that are left behind from trees that we cut down or trees that were previously cut down. Not matter the stump, we have you covered. Stumps should be ground when the roots are damaging utilities or paved surfaces. Stumps should also be removed before any new construction project. Many tree species, especially hardwoods and some softwoods will re-sprout from green stump resulting in new growth that is weaker and denser. Grinding the stump eliminates this from happening. We plan to have a wide array of stump grinding equipment for tight access, slopes, large stumps, and forestry applications.
Our planet is changing! Temperatures are rising and much of the West Coast is suffering from dry forested areas that are overgrown and overwhelmed with overcrowding and invasive plant species. This dangerous combination exponentially increases the fire risk of any given property wether it is residential, government, or commercial. Through strategic forest thinning, hazard tree removal, forestry mulching , selective logging and canopy pruning, we make sure that properties are fire safe for years to come. After the brunt of the work is done, we offer annual plans to maintain the fire safety of properties so that your green space is a beautiful asset instead of a liability.
Do you want a tree taken off of your property without having it cut down? Maybe you want a rare decorative tree planted in your landscape? No matter what it is, we have you covered! For certain trees, transplanting or relocation may be viable option. Using mechanized tree transplanting equipment, the rootball of the tree is unearthed in one piece with surgical precision. The tree is then lifted with the same machine and transported to its new location where a matching hole awaits for it to take root!

Our Right of Way and Line Clearance Services protect electrical, water and gas right of ways which are essential parts of our infrastructure that need vegetative maintenance in order to be safe, functional and productive. High voltage electrical lines that run through forests need their own aerial right of way without interfering trees or vegetation. Unmaintained electrical right of ways pose fire risks and are extremely dangerous for communities and the forests that surround them. Trees that encroach on gas or water right of ways can damage pipes with their expansive root systems. Dense tree canopies limit aerial sight lines that are necessary for inspection and overcrowding make equipment access impossible for maintenance. Utilities need designated space to function properly and we are here to deliver. Using our future fleet of mechanized equipment such as Menzi Muck all terrain excavators, feller bunchers, bucket trucks and insulated tree trimmers, we safely mechanize ROW clearing and maintenance.

Our Orchard Recycling Services offer a much cleaner and more sustainable solution for orchard farmers. When your crop is at the end of its lifespan, the question ofter remains, “what comes next?” That’s where we come in as the logical answer to that question. For decades, farmers routinely clear and burn their orchards which is messy, dangerous, and wasteful. Instead, we will employ large forestry mulching machines to grind whole trees into the soil to provide nutrients for the next generation of trees. Then bulldozers are used to rip the entire rootball out of the ground and bring them to the surface To be mulched into the soil. We will also be able to complete the same process using horizontal grinders for larger volume projects or a combination of mulching and grinding. We will also use our clean, air curtain burners to burn wood material with zero emissions. The resulting biochar will then be added to the soil for enhanced nutrient properties. After the initial material processing is complete the soil will be mixed and tilled with a tractor to create a perfectly balanced soil with a perfect Ph balance, moisture content, and nutrient level. The resulting soil has natural nutrients which creates a longer lasting crop of trees that is more resilient and requires little to no chemical or non-organic additives.
