Professional Tree Service in Simi Valley & Ventura County — Natural Wonders Trees
Natural Wonders Trees is a fully licensed and insured tree care company serving Simi Valley, Thousand Oaks,
Moorpark, Camarillo, Ventura, Oxnard, Woodland Hills, Northridge, Calabasas, Encino, Sherman Oaks,
Westlake Village, Agoura Hills, and 14 additional cities across Ventura and Los Angeles counties.
Founded in 2007, we bring nearly two decades of professional arboricultural expertise to every project —
from routine trimming to complex crane-assisted removals. Our ISA Certified Arborists hold ISA credential
#WE-12613A and CTSP #022097, and all work is performed under CSLB License #900295 (D49/C61).
We follow ANSI A300 pruning standards on every job, which means every cut is made at the branch collar
with the correct technique to promote natural wound closure and long-term tree health. We never top trees,
never make flush cuts, and never remove more than 25% of the canopy in a single visit — practices that
lesser companies routinely do, causing lasting structural damage. Whether you need a single ornamental
tree trimmed or a large-scale property management program for an HOA, our team delivers the same level
of professional care, clear communication, and thorough cleanup on every visit.
Tree Services We Offer
Our comprehensive tree care services are available throughout Ventura County and the San Fernando Valley.
We offer tree trimming and pruning following ANSI A300 standards, including crown thinning, crown lifting,
crown reduction, deadwood removal, structural pruning for young trees, vista pruning, and sucker removal.
Our tree removal services cover everything from small ornamental trees to large 80-foot eucalyptus requiring
crane-assisted dismantling. We specialize in crane-assisted removal for trees in tight urban lots, on hillside
properties, or positioned over pools, rooftops, and block walls where standard felling is not safe.
Palm trimming is another core service — we properly skin and trim all species of palms throughout the region,
including Mexican fan palms, Canary Island date palms, Queen palms, and King palms. Stump grinding is
available as a complement to tree removal, grinding stumps to below grade so your property is left level
and ready for new landscaping. We also provide arborist consultation reports for HOAs, insurance claims,
permit applications, and property transactions — written reports signed by our ISA Certified Arborist that
meet the documentation standards required by LADBS and local planning departments.
Our brush clearance service covers California-compliant defensible space clearing, helping homeowners meet
CAL FIRE Zone 1 (0–30 feet) and Zone 2 (30–100 feet) requirements for wildfire protection. We serve
hillside communities throughout Ventura County and the Santa Monica Mountains foothills where defensible
space compliance is particularly critical. Commercial tree care is available for shopping centers, office
parks, multifamily residential properties, and HOA communities — we have dedicated crews and experienced
project managers for large-scale commercial accounts.
Emergency Tree Service — 24/7 Response
When a tree fails — whether from a Santa Ana wind event, heavy rain, disease, or sudden root failure —
Natural Wonders Trees provides 24-hour emergency response throughout our service area. Our emergency crews
arrive equipped with chainsaws, rigging equipment, chippers, and haul-away vehicles staged on every truck.
We respond to fallen trees blocking driveways or structures, hanging widow-maker limbs, trees leaning
dangerously after root failure, storm-split trunks, and trees that have made contact with rooflines or
vehicles. We typically respond within one to two hours of your call, and we document all work thoroughly
for customers navigating insurance claims. Call (818) 717-8787 anytime for emergency service.
Tree Removal in Simi Valley & Ventura County
Professional tree removal requires far more than felling a tree. Our ISA Certified Arborists evaluate
each removal site individually: tree species and condition, proximity to structures and utilities,
root zone integrity, soil conditions, and access constraints. We develop a detailed rigging plan before
any cutting begins. For large trees in tight urban environments — which are extremely common in Simi Valley
and the hillside communities of Ventura County — we use crane-assisted removal to lower each section
precisely, eliminating impact risk to surrounding structures. We carry comprehensive liability insurance
and workers' compensation on every removal job, and we provide written arborist reports for insurance
claims and permit applications. We also assist with permit requirements for protected tree species under
LAMC 46.00, including coast live oak, valley oak, California sycamore, black walnut, and California
bay laurel.
Tree Trimming & Pruning in Simi Valley
Tree trimming done correctly is an investment in your property. Proper structural pruning during the
first fifteen years of a tree's life can prevent thousands of dollars in removal costs decades later.
Our arborists evaluate each tree's species, growth habit, current structure, and specific site conditions
before developing a pruning plan. We offer crown thinning to reduce wind resistance and improve light
penetration, crown lifting to provide clearance for structures and pedestrian areas, crown reduction for
trees that have outgrown their space, and targeted deadwood removal for safety. For species like coast
live oaks, we time pruning to avoid peak polyphagous shot hole borer activity (April through October).
For eucalyptus, we perform crown reduction and deadwood removal to reduce sudden limb drop risk while
avoiding heading cuts that produce structurally weak attachments. Every job ends with complete debris
removal and site cleanup.
