Advanced Tree Care was established on April 19th 1999 by Robert Weatherill. From the beginning it was based on the premise of providing superior quality tree care to the San Francisco Bay Peninsula and providing opportunities for employees to develop their skills as arborists through continuing education and training. We are a small, slow growing company providing up to date training and technology to all our employees. This ensures that the service we provide to our clients will be of the highest quality.
Advanced Tree Care specializes and prides itself in quality pruning. Pruning is defined as the removal of branches and shoots but sometimes fruits and flowers. Certain species of tree, particularly Coast live oak, can grow very thick dark canopies. This is specific to the tree's location and health. It is permissible to remove 15% to 20% of the trees living canopy to allow more filtered light into the area below the tree. During the process of thinning the larger dead wood is removed. This benefits the tree's health by removing decayed limbs which can harbor pests and diseases.
