We have been in business in Santa Cruz County since 1982. Enduring droughts, recessions, earthquakes, and an area code change (from 408 to 831), we have remained intact due to our relationships with our customers that begin with honesty and trust. Many of our clientele are repeat customers or referrals, trusting our product enough to refer it to friends and family.
In 2001, the business changed from "The Tree Company", which began in 1980 in San Jose, to Koala Tree Care. Craig was a PG&E contract arborist surveying transmission lines for tree clearance. One mistake by Craig could knock 9 western states out of power! Fortunately this never happened during his tenure, and he evaluated more trees for safety in three years than many arborists evaluate in a lifetime!

Tree Care Services
Report
Trees can be tricky creatures - many of their problems do not become visible until the tree's health is in grave danger. They also have a way of growing out of control. The good news is that we are well versed at helping trees stay strong, healthy and productive. Whether you need tree pruning or tree planting, or treatment for tree diseases, our experts can offer you the best advice and service options for a wide variety of issues.
Stump Removal
Report
Our process for removing a stump includes grinding it into a material that will decay into a soil that is healthy and fertile, suitable to help with new planting. When we take out one tree (and the stump), we are always willing to put in a new tree for you. When we come out to give you a consultation about your tree and stump removal, we will also give you perspective about the best idea for a replacement.
Tree Pruning
Report
Tree pruning is a necessity to maintain healthy growth patterns and to clean out dead parts of the tree. When trees are not maintained, there is an increased risk of trees losing large branches during storms or windy days. This can even happen in the still heat of summer (a condition known as sudden limb drop)!
Tree Fertilizing
Report
A lack of proper nutrients is one of the biggest problems that afflicts urban trees. Providing adequate fertilization can restore nutrient levels and help overcome stress from the environment. Plants that have the right fertilizer levels can resist diseases and pests more easily.
Using deep root soil injection or other methods to fertilize your tree can boost the development of feeder roots, counteract the stress that comes from construction and other environmental events, cut down on soil compaction and boost a plant's overall vitality.We are a leader among California businesses dealing with tree fertilization.
