Tree Trimming & Removal in Orange County: questions we get every week
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Orange County?
Parkway (street) trees belong to the city and need its permission; several cities also protect heritage trees on private lots. Your own ordinary backyard tree usually needs none. A tree service will know the city’s rule.
Can they trim near power lines?
Only a line-clearance qualified crew can work within ten feet of lines; the utility trims its own lines for free. Say so when you call.
Why not just top it?
Topping creates weak regrowth and a tree that needs trimming every year. Proper lacing and crown reduction last two to three years.
When should palms be trimmed?
Once a year after the seed pods form, usually late spring to early summer in Orange County.
