Tree Projects Safely Completed
From planting and pruning to cabling and removal, we offer all of the tree services California homeowners and property managers require. And we do it all in accordance with current scientific data, best management practices, and ANSI standards, to ensure you enjoy the best possible results.
Tree removal may eliminate most parts of a tree, but it doesn’t address the unsightly stump left behind. Stumps are not only eyesores, but they can also represent safety hazards and provide habitat for nuisance wildlife. But our stump grinding services will allow you to avoid these problems and leave your property ready for your next project.
While we’re always eager to help residents and property managers retain trees whenever possible, safety issues, landscaping choices, and accessibility concerns sometimes necessitate their removal. Our team can quickly, safely, and efficiently remove these trees with the help of climbers, aerial lifts, bucket trucks, or cranes.
Trees may seem simple, but they’re actually incredibly complex organisms with varying needs, tendencies, and vulnerabilities. That’s why it is vital that you work with a skilled arborist to ensure they receive the support they need to thrive. We’ll be happy to provide this kind of science-based guidance and help keep your trees vigorous.
Whether you simply need your trees trimmed to provide greater clearance or you’d like your trees professionally pruned to promote lasting structural integrity and proper form, it’s critical that you rely on an arborist-led team to carry out the work. We will trim or prune your trees properly, using not only the right tools but also sound arboricultural techniques.
Whether a small strip of your residential property has become overgrown with shrubs and brush in the last few years or you have a multi-acre undeveloped plot that you need cleared for an upcoming venture, it can be difficult to find professionals to make the space usable. But our team can quickly and efficiently clear the land to suit your needs.
Given the threat wildfires present for Central Coast residents and property owners, it’s important to create defensible spaces by clearing vegetation and other combustible materials away from structures. Our team can help improve the fire safety of your property by eliminating the shrubs, trees, grasses, and other materials in key locations on your property.
Property managers often have a particularly difficult time finding a tree-care partner they can rely on, given the unique challenges commercial tree care presents. But whether you need hundreds of new trees planted, clearance trimming performed around a dozen buildings, or a single large tree removed, the pros at Adney Tree Service can help.
Severe weather and tree-related emergencies aren’t always 9-to-5 issues for homeowners or commercial property managers. In fact, they often occur in the middle of the night, when it can be difficult to get the help you need. But the professionals at Adney Tree Service are ready to provide emergency tree service, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Tree care may be our specialty, but our team can also help with your residential or commercial excavation needs. From driveway excavation to grading to trenching, we have the skills, expertise, and equipment needed to solve all of your land preparation needs.
Just because a tree exhibits a structural issue doesn’t mean its fate is sealed. In fact, we’re often able to help save trees that other tree-care services have condemned by using techniques like cabling and bracing. These techniques allow us to provide additional support to trees with poor structure, providing a cost-effective alternative to complete removal.
Planting trees on a property is an easy way to provide additional privacy, reduce cooling bills, improve the aesthetics, and boost its curb appeal. But because improperly planted trees are likely to lead to expensive problems down the line, it’s important to rely on arboricultural experts — like the team at Adney Tree Service — for your tree installation needs.

Adney Tree Service has been proudly serving the Central Coast region since 2015. Whether you’re in Monterey, Santa Cruz, or anywhere in between, we make it easy to secure the professional tree-care services you need.
It’s easy to become overwhelmed when you start trying to find a tree-care partner you can count on. That’s part of the reason we strive to provide industry-leading service for our clients; we want to stand head-and-shoulders above the crowd and emerge as the easy choice for homeowners and property managers.
A few of the key things that distinguish us from our competitors include:
There are “tree guys” and then there are trained, experienced, ISA-certified arborists. And if you want your trees to have the best chance at a long, healthy life, you’ll definitely want to work with a true professional. That’s easy when you choose the experts at Adney Tree Service, as our owner is a certified arborist who directs all of our operations.
For us, tree care isn’t simply about hacking back branches or felling trees as quickly as possible so that we can get on to the next job. Instead, we take great pride in all of the services we provide. From installation to pruning to emergency removals, we always hold ourselves to the highest standards and ensure you’re happy with the results we achieve.
While most trees share a few common characteristics, each species exhibits varying tolerances, tendencies, and traits. And because different trees are common in different regions, you need an arborist with extensive local experience. That’s easy when you partner with Adney Tree Service; we’ve been serving California’s Central Coast area since 2015.
The best way to gauge the kind of service you’ll receive from any tree-care company is by considering the experiences previous clients have had. But while many tree-care providers emphasize profits at the expense of their reputation, we take pride in maintaining a 5-star Google rating and routinely earning repeat business from our clients.
Many tree-care companies only offer a few services, which means you may need to contract with multiple service providers to have a single tree removed. But Adney Tree Service is a true full-service tree-care operation, who can complete all of the tree-care work you may need, from installation to removal to stump grinding.
Many tree care services are high-stakes undertakings that involve considerable risk. So, in addition to working with a certified arborist, it’s important to hire professionals who are also licensed and insured. Adney Tree Service is not only fully licensed by the State of California but also insured to provide the peace of mind you deserve.

We had an oak tree fall early on New Year's Day across part of our driveway blocking in a couple of our cars. Kyle and his team came out within a few hours on the holiday and cut up the tree, chipped all the remains and left us with a clean driveway. Start to finish was a couple of hours. Thanks, guys! Very satisfied customer and I wouldn't hesitate using them again.
