Tempe's older neighborhoods around Mill Avenue and the Arcadia edge are shaded by massive Aleppo pines, ash trees, tall Mexican fan palms and ficus that have been there since the 1950s and 1960s, and they need real care to stay healthy in our desert heat and monsoon winds.
When your palm fronds are brown, a storm has split a mesquite, or an old pine is dropping limbs over your roof, Scottsdale Tree Service knows Tempe's trees and terrain. We've worked on flood-irrigated lots throughout 85282 and the surrounding area, and we understand what happens when shallow-rooted trees meet July monsoons and 115-degree heat.
Tree Service in Tempe (85282)
Tempe's residential character is split between two very different landscapes. The older flood-irrigated neighborhoods near Old Town and Arcadia have deep-rooted Aleppo pines, eucalyptus, ficus and olive trees that shade 1950s and 1960s slump-block ranch homes on generous lots. These trees are mature, valuable, and prone to stress from heat, sooty canker on ficus, and wind damage during monsoon season. The newer master-planned communities along Indian Bend Wash have Mexican fan palms, date palms and African sumac in HOA-maintained landscapes, where palm frond skinning and deadwooding fill most of our service calls.
Our team has been serving Tempe and the greater Scottsdale area for years. We know the difference between a tree that needs pruning and one that needs removal. We understand Tempe's permit requirements, work around power lines and structures, and leave your property clean and safe.

How a Job Works in Tempe
We start with a free on-site assessment. We'll identify any permit requirements and explain what needs to happen next.
On the day of work, our crew shows up with the right equipment for your job, whether that's a bucket truck for palm frond skinning, a stump grinder, or a full removal rig. Tempe lots can be tight, and we're experienced at working in confined spaces, coordinating with neighbors, and keeping debris away from your home and HOA-maintained landscaping.
When we're done, we haul away all debris, chip branches if you want mulch, and walk through the property with you. Your yard is clean, and your trees are healthier.
Tree removal in Tempe typically ranges from several hundred dollars for a smaller tree to several thousand for a large Aleppo pine or palm. Tree trimming and pruning starts at $250, stump grinding from $150, and palm frond skinning or deadwooding varies by tree height and frond volume. The biggest cost factors are tree size (height and diameter), species, how close it is to your home or power lines, whether we need bucket truck access, and how much debris needs hauling. An emergency removal after storm damage may cost more if we're working in difficult conditions or on short notice. Call us at (480) 409-7296 for a free estimate. We'll give you a real number based on what we see.
