TREE SERVICE KINGS, INC.

What TREE SERVICE KINGS, INC. does

Tree Service Kings, Inc. is a California-based, founder-owned utility vegetation management and tree care services company founded in 2006. It provides line clearance, right-of-way management, fuels reduction, pole clearing and grubbing, pre/post CPUC General Order 95 inspections, emergency response, and disaster relief services primarily to multiple investor-owned and public utility companies across California, with secondary work for government agencies, commercial properties, and residential clients. The company has scaled from a single residential crew in 2006 to 300+ operating crews, an operational footprint supported by a specialized fleet that includes 100' boom trucks, grapple trucks, ATVs, roll-off trucks, skid steers, track bobcats, portable offices, and an incoming Sennebogen 738E tree care handler, with a stated transition to hybrid and electric bucket trucks and electric/hydraulic power tools.

The company invests in next-generation operational technology — drones for aerial inspection, GIS mapping for terrain and right-of-way planning, and a data analytics platform for vegetation management optimization. It maintains an unusually dense stack of industry credentials (ISA Certified Utility Specialist, ISA Certified Municipal Specialist, ISA Certified Arborist, TCIA CTSP, ATSSA Traffic Control Specialist, OSHA-30, FEMA ICS-100, and California CSLB license #903751), and operates a proprietary workforce program called SEED (Safety, Education, and Employee Development) to train and retain field personnel.

Tree Service Kings makes money primarily through contract-based, quote-priced service engagements billed under multi-year agreements with utility and government buyers, supplemented by residential and commercial one-time service work. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales via direct phone, email, and website quote requests, supported by a referral network that routes overflow and specialized engagements to qualified subcontractors. Headquartered in Chatsworth, California, with an additional office in Canoga Park, the company has publicly stated ambitions to expand beyond California into every state west of the Mississippi and beyond.
