Murphy's Tree Services | Professional Landscaping in San Francisco, CA

The process begins with a professional assessment from our ISA-certified arborists to evaluate the tree's health and any hazards. For trees that require removal in San Francisco, we handle the entire permitting process with the city's Urban Forestry Council on your behalf. We secure the necessary permits, coordinate with utilities if needed, and then execute the removal with specialized equipment and techniques to protect your property. We also include full cleanup and stump grinding as part of our standard service.

We address root-related issues with targeted solutions. For surface roots damaging lawns, we can perform careful root pruning or install root barriers to redirect growth, followed by repairing the turf. For shifting rock gardens or hardscape, we assess whether selective root removal or strategic pruning can relieve pressure without compromising the tree's stability. In some cases, we may recommend transplanting the tree to a more suitable location on your property. Our goal is to preserve the tree while solving the landscape problem.

Yes, we offer tailored maintenance plans for both residential and commercial properties. These plans include scheduled pruning and trimming to maintain tree health and structure, seasonal fertilization, and proactive disease and insect management. For shrubs, our services include planting, care, pruning, and removal. A regular maintenance schedule helps prevent major issues, promotes healthy growth, and enhances the safety and beauty of your landscape throughout the year.
