Trees
The County's contractor, West Coast Arborists, trims County-owned trees. (If you
live on a non-incorporated residential street, County-owned trees grow in the parkway
- the strip of land between the sidewalk and the street.) As per our contract, WCA
follows a pre-determined, high-production schedule to keep tree trimming as cost-effective
as possible. We are unable to trim trees strictly for aesthetic purposes. However,
we will trim a tree if it presents a hazard, and we are usually able to respond
to dangerous situations rapidly.
Irvine Park Trimming may consist of the following:
- Trimming - removal of limbs blocking streetlights, traffic signals, traffic warning
signs and site distance issues at intersections.
- Elevate limbs blocking public sidewalk or traffic vehicle lanes.
- Removal of dead wood (dead, storm damaged, or broken limbs).
- Cut down and remove dead trees.
- Cut down and remove live trees with a valid permit or work order that has been obtained
by the property owner.
- Removal of stumps (grinding).
How do I determine if a tree is County-owned?
County maintained trees grow in the parkway - the strip of land between the sidewalk
and the street. If you are unsure if a tree is on County property, call us at
(714) 955-0200 and we will either answer your question over the phone or visit the
location to determine ownership.
If you think your tree located within County public right of way needs trimming,
you may submit a
 service request or contact
the Operations & Maintenance office at
(714) 955-0200.
