Ed Cook Tree Service

About Ed Cook Tree Service

Ed Cook Tree Service is a tree business in South Lake Tahoe, California, in business since 1980. Ed and his wife Susan own and run it. The company calls itself "Locally owned and operated," and its main work is tree care: hazardous tree removal for damaged, diseased, or storm-damaged trees, plus defensible space, lot clearing for new construction, crane-assisted removal, limbing and deadwooding, chipping, and stump grinding. It covers the Lake Tahoe region and the Tahoe Basin, and it is listed in El Dorado County. The company has a crane for tight spaces, steep hillsides, and storm-damaged trees, and it describes itself as "the only tree service in Lake Tahoe that owns its own crane." It runs three stump grinders, two compact machines and one large track-mounted grinder for steep ground. Its Vermeer chippers turn branches and small trees into woodchips. You can keep the chips for ground cover, erosion and dust control, or have the company haul them away for landscaping, erosion control, or renewable energy co-generation. The company holds a CA contractors license, a Timber Operators License, and city and county business licenses. It offers free estimates and consultations. This suits a Tahoe Basin landowner who has a hazardous or storm-damaged tree near a home, needs a lot cleared for a build, or has a pile of brush and small trees that should become chips instead of a burn pile.
