I want to share a new resource.

Working in the neighborhood and asked about mulch.
Called within 2 days and delivered a giant free load.
You can use them for trees trimming services, apparently they were great to deal with.
Four other tree companies had a 6 week waiting list, or something (Finch, Miller, etc).

The name of the company is:
Discount Tree Service, Ask for Norberto/Tom 626-848-2424.

Also, if you are removing turf (grass) from your yard in Pasadena, there is a turf removal program (you get $1.00 per square foot).

Check out their website.
