Mulching
Our mulching services retain soil moisture, suppress weeds, and enrich your landscape. We use high-quality mulch that is ideal for tree health and aesthetic improvement. It helps regulate root temperature and prevents erosion. Choose from various organic mulches suited for the climate.

What our customers say
Hello all. We called Diillon last week for a quote to trim back our palm trees around our backyard pool. Made the appointment for yesterday, and they ( Dillon and Steve) showed up right on time, got right to work, and had all 7 of the trees done and ALL the branches cleaned up in just 2.5 hours. Very friendly, good communications, and very respectful. We have had them here before, and they also have done work for our son in Oakdale. I will always call them for future work.
David G.
These guys did a great job of removing a 50+ year old Hollywood juniper. It was growing next to a fence in a backyard utility easement. A pool was on the opposite side of the fence. None of the surrounding landscaping was disturbed. No complaints from the pool owner. They cleaned up both yards to our satisfaction. Everyone on their crew were pleasant and friendly. I would not hesitate to hire them again.
Gregg R.
Fantastic job! Rodney and his crew were very professional and did an amazing job cutting down 3 very large redwood trees in our yard. They showed up on time; the price was very reasonable. The job ended up taking longer than expected so they had to come back to grind the stumps. Again they were there when they said they’d be there and did a great job cleaning up. I would use them again and highly recommend them!!
Linda D.
Clark's tree service cut down three coastal oaks on our property and ground the stumps. They also pruned our two big sycamores. They were very professional, respectful of our property, and cleaned up everything. They were fairly priced. We were very satisfied and would highly recommend them to anyone. Thanks for a great job.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How do I know when it’s time to trim or prune my trees?
Tree trimming and pruning are essential for tree health, safety, and aesthetics. Signs include overgrown branches obstructing walkways, power lines, or windows, dead or diseased limbs, and uneven growth patterns. In Modesto’s climate, seasonal pruning—typically late winter or early spring—is ideal. Clark’s Tree Works conducts thorough inspections to determine the best timing and technique, ensuring your trees thrive while reducing risks of storm damage or pest infestation.
What’s the difference between tree trimming and tree pruning?
Trimming usually involves removing smaller branches for shaping and clearance, improving appearance and safety. Pruning is more strategic, focusing on removing dead, diseased, or structurally unsound limbs to promote healthy growth and longevity. Clark’s Tree Works applies industry best practices tailored to each tree species common in Modesto, balancing aesthetics with tree health to maximize benefits.
Can tree trimming prevent property damage during storms?
Yes. Properly trimmed trees reduce the risk of branches breaking off and damaging roofs, cars, or power lines during high winds or heavy rains typical in California. Clark’s Tree Works evaluates trees for weak or dead limbs and performs preventative trimming to strengthen trees and minimize hazards, providing peace of mind during storm season.
How do you handle tree removal safely and responsibly?
Tree removal requires assessing the tree’s condition, location, and potential hazards. Clark’s Tree Works uses specialized equipment and techniques to safely dismantle trees in sections, minimizing damage to surrounding property. We also follow local environmental guidelines, recycle wood debris when possible, and ensure thorough site cleanup for customer satisfaction.
How can tree services improve my home’s value?
Well-maintained trees enhance curb appeal, provide shade that lowers cooling costs, and signal a well-cared-for property. Clark’s Tree Works helps optimize tree health and appearance through expert trimming, pruning, and removal services, potentially increasing your home’s marketability in the Modesto area.
What’s the best way to prevent pest infestations in trees?
Regular inspections and prompt removal of dead or weakened branches reduce susceptibility to pests like borers or aphids. Clark’s Tree Works employs integrated pest management practices, including recommending treatments and cultural care, to protect your trees naturally without excessive chemical use.
Are stump grinding and removal part of your services?
Yes, Clark’s Tree Works offers stump grinding to eliminate unsightly stumps and prevent tripping hazards or pest attraction. This process grinds the stump below ground level, facilitating replanting or landscaping. We use efficient, environmentally responsible equipment suited for residential and commercial properties.
