Based out of Encino, Purple Trees Landscape Maintenance is an owner-operated landscaping company that offers 15 years of experience and provides services such as lawn maintenance, hardscaping, hedge trimming, weed control, lawn irrigation installation and other services.

"Rigo and his team are AMAZING. I initially hired him for our construction company - he has been maintaining 3 luxury homes in Calabasas as well as our office and all of our vacant lots and slopes throughout the community we are building, but he does such great work that basically our entire office hired him for our personal homes as well! Rigo's team sticks to their schedule weekly and is always on time. He's also done any additional work we've asked - trimming trees, fertilizing the grass when needed, replacing sprinkler heads, you name it! He's also full of suggestions that pertain to your personal yard - what would work for your climate, plants that work with your budget, upkeep level, etc. We are extremely happy with Purple Trees and can't recommend them enough. (My approx. cost is for my personal yard.)"

FAQs for tree service projects in Glendale, CA

You might remove a tree for free if it’s small, easy to reach, and your city doesn’t require a permit. Call the planning or public works office first to be sure. If they give you the green light, follow all safety rules, wear protective gear, and ask a friend to spot you. When in doubt—or if the tree is tall—hire a pro instead.

In many cities, you’ll need a permit—sometimes even an arborist’s report—before cutting down a tree. Start by calling your local building or planning department. They’ll tell you whether the tree is protected, how big it can be before a permit kicks in, and whether the work has to be done by a licensed pro. Get written approval before scheduling the job to stay on the right side of local rules.

It’s best to leave healthy trees alone—they add shade, boost curb appeal, and support wildlife. Take one down only if it’s dead, diseased beyond saving, or posing a real safety risk. Check local rules first; many areas protect heritage or street trees. 

When removal seems necessary, bring in a licensed arborist for an on-site assessment and written recommendation before you book the crew.

If you’re torn between trimming, pruning, or full removal, start with an honest health check. Trim to shape the canopy or encourage new growth. Prune when you spot broken or diseased branches that could spread trouble. 

Plan on removal only if the trunk is hollow, several major limbs are dead, storm damage is extensive, or the tree leans dangerously toward a structure.

A tree that’s 15 to 20 feet from your home isn’t automatically a problem. Healthy, small species often coexist just fine with houses. Trouble starts when the trunk shows decay, roots crack the foundation, or overhanging branches threaten the roof. Bring in a licensed arborist for a close look and written recommendation before you decide to remove or simply prune.

Timing hinges on size and complexity. A small tree might be gone in a few hours, a mid-sized one in half a day, and a giant could keep the crew busy for one to two full workdays. Add extra time if you’re grinding the stump, hauling wood, or navigating tight spaces near power lines or fences.
