Every Job. Any Tree. Done Right.
From routine pruning to the most technical crane removals in California — Tree Cowboy has the experience, equipment, and credentials to handle it all.
Technical Tree Removals
Some trees can't just be felled — they need to come down piece by piece, with surgical precision. Our crew specializes in removing trees in tight spaces, near structures, over rooftops, and in any situation where a standard removal isn't an option. We plan every cut, every rigging point, and every lowering sequence before the first chainsaw starts.
- Rigged & sectional removals
- Near structures & power lines
- Tight-access properties
- Full cleanup included
Crane Removals
For large, hazardous, or hard-to-reach trees, we bring in the crane. Crane removals are faster, safer, and cause less damage to your property than traditional rigging methods. We coordinate everything — crane placement, traffic control, and debris removal — so you don't have to.
- Large & oversized trees
- Minimal property disturbance
- Full coordination & logistics
- Faster than traditional rigging
24/7 Emergency Tree Service
Storms don't wait for business hours. A fallen tree on your roof, a limb blocking your driveway, a leaning trunk threatening your home — these situations need immediate response. Tree Cowboy is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for emergency tree service throughout California.
- Available 24/7, 365 days a year
- Storm damage response
- Fallen tree & limb removal

Cat Rescues & Drone Rescues from Trees
Tree Cowboy provides professional cat rescues, drone rescues, kite rescues, and animal rescues from trees throughout the San Jose area and Northern California. Our certified climbers can safely reach any height to retrieve cats, pets, drones, or other objects stuck in trees — without harming the tree or the animal. We're trained, insured, and equipped for any tree rescue situation.
- Cat & pet rescues from trees
- Drone & kite retrieval

Tree Risk Assessments
Not every dangerous tree looks dangerous. Our certified risk assessments identify structural defects, disease, root issues, and failure potential before they become emergencies. Whether you're buying a property, dealing with a neighbor dispute, or just want peace of mind, a professional assessment is the smart first step.
- Certified assessment process
- Written report provided
- Pre-purchase inspections
- Hazard identification
Pruning & Trimming
Proper pruning is one of the best investments you can make in your trees. Done right, it improves structure, reduces failure risk, promotes healthy growth, and keeps your property looking sharp. Done wrong, it causes long-term damage. Our crew follows ISA pruning standards on every job.
- ISA pruning standards
- Crown cleaning & thinning
- Structural pruning
- Vista & clearance pruning
Stump Grinding
After a tree comes down, the stump is still there — an eyesore, a tripping hazard, and a magnet for pests. We grind stumps down to grade (or below) so you can replant, lay sod, or just reclaim your yard. We handle stumps of all sizes, including large-diameter and multi-root systems.
- All stump sizes
- Ground to grade or below
- Debris cleanup included
- Ready for replanting
Ornamental & Fruit Tree Care
Ornamental and fruit trees require a different touch than large shade trees. We provide specialized pruning, shaping, and health care for citrus, stone fruit, fig, olive, Japanese maple, and other ornamental species — timed to the right season for maximum health and production.
- Citrus & stone fruit trees
- Ornamental shaping
