In 1972, Kerry Ray started his journey in tree trimming by pruning the trees at his rental house in Reseda, California. He then volunteered to help his LAPD motor officer partner, Randy, trim his parents Ash tree. So, they went out and bought a Homelite chainsaw, climbing gear and a black/orange trucker's rope. Although, neither of them had much experience in tree trimming, they proceeded with vig
or and took turns on climbing the large tree for several days until the job was completed. Then, they were referred to a friend with a dead tree needing removal and immediately took on the job as they loved the work. A friend of the family with a tree trimming company noticed how hard this duo worked and started giving them all the jobs he did not want. They did not care how big the jobs were and viewed each job as great learning experience and an excellent form of exercise. Kerry continued to educate himself the art of tree trimming by reading books and going out and observing other tree climbers working in the field. Over the following years, Kerry worked vigorously to expand the business by adding state of the art equipment and adding new crew members to the team. has grown its clientele based on its outstanding reputation and is now one of the largest, most reputable tree care companies in Los Angeles.
