The County of Orange's tree maintenance program consists of road right-of-way trimming, sidewalk clearance trimming and aesthetic trimming of trees within our right-of-way. Unincorporated county areas are trimmed on a two and a half year cycle. The service also include removal of damaged trees and any trees creating a public hazard as determined by a Maintenance Inspector or Certified Arborist.
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).
If you think a tree located within the County's public right of way needs trimming, please submit a service request or contact the OC Operations & Maintenance Office at (714) 955-0200.
