Listed in the Blue Book since 2008 and carrying CSLB license #541544, Joseph Descans Tree Service runs crew work from Lotus Street in OB under owner Joseph Edward Descans. Pre-listing tree-hazard assessments for coastal homes are a recurring document request before properties go to market, with OB and Point Loma realtor Catrina Russell Real Estate - Ocean Beach & Point Loma Realtor among the agents who commission them during due-diligence windows. The work skews toward mature-specimen removals — eucalyptus on back slopes, small palm clusters, overgrown ficus in lath-fence yards — and trimming on arbor-trained wisteria along original 1930s OB porch frames. Overhead roof-clearance work coordinates directly with San Diego Roofing Contractors, which requires branch-free access zones before any tear-off or re-sheathing can begin on a beach-cottage roof plane. Haul-away service is included on every job rather than invoiced separately, which matters on 25-foot-wide OB alley lots where debris piles can't sit at the curb waiting for a separate green-waste visit. The most demanding scope is technical dismantling of a leaning eucalyptus or Torrey pine over an occupied structure, where each limb has to be rigged down piece by piece under controlled descent rather than felled whole.
