We provide tree service from Pomona, CA out to twelve neighboring cities in eastern Los Angeles County and western San Bernardino County. Each city sets its own rules for street trees and, in many cases, for oaks, walnuts and other native or heritage trees on private land. Before any removal, we check the rules for your city and tell you what applies. Call (909) 479-2666 to ask about your address.

Rules that change at the city line
Three questions come up on almost every job, and the answer depends on the city:
- Who owns the tree? Street trees in the parkway are almost always City trees. Do not trim or remove them without the City's permission.
- Is it protected? Several cities protect native oaks, walnuts and sycamores, or large heritage trees, even on private property.
- Is there a fire rule? Foothill and hillside neighborhoods may fall in fire hazard zones with clearance expectations.
When you call, tell us your city and street, and we will look up what applies. If a permit is needed, we can provide photos and notes to support your application, and we schedule the work after it is approved.
Back to Pomona
Our home base is Pomona, where street trees fall under Pomona Municipal Code Sec. 46-467 and historic districts add review for certain trees. Read our guides on Pomona street trees and protected oaks and walnuts across the region for more.
