Tree Service in Beverlywood, CA
Want to take out a curb-strip tree in Beverlywood? The homes association must approve it in writing, and CC&Rs have bound the tract since 1940, so tree service in Beverlywood happens inside those rules, whether we prune or remove.
Tree care in Beverlywood
A 1940 tract where the association guards the parkway
In Beverlywood, a parkway tree cannot come down until the homes association has heard the request and said yes in writing. If it agrees, a 60-inch box tree of an approved species must go back in the same strip. Walter Leimert founded the tract in 1940, and it was one of the first in the region with binding CC&Rs. Today 1,354 homes share them. The rules also set hedge heights, hide retaining walls behind planting and limit tree trimming gear to weekday and Saturday hours. City of Los Angeles rules apply on top. An unapproved removal can bring a fine of up to $25,000.
In Beverlywood, the tree by the curb answers to two boards: the association's and the city's.
Who governs tree work in Beverlywood
City of Los Angeles
Beverlywood has no tree ordinance of its own — it is governed by the City of Los Angeles, and that jurisdiction's rules apply here. No pruning permits shall be issued for Historic-Cultural Monument street trees without written approval of Urban Forestry Division management. All tree planting requires a no-fee plant permit that is issued by the Bureau’s UFD. Additionally, UFD upholds protection of Oak trees and other native tree and shrub species protected by the City of Los Angeles’ Protected Tree and Shrub Ordinance. Rules change. Confirm current requirements with the jurisdiction before work begins — filing a permit is the property owner's responsibility, not ours.
What we handle
Parkway trees, hedges and palms, all inside Beverlywood's CC&Rs
Supreme Tree Experts removes yard trees, shears hedges and trims palms in Beverlywood, where 1,354 homes share CC&Rs. Once the homes association says yes in writing, Beverlywood owners book the parkway job with Supreme Tree Experts.
Tree Removal
We take down yard trees in Beverlywood in sections, and open access keeps most jobs simple. A parkway tree is different: the homes association must hear the request and approve it in writing. City approval is needed too, and one does not replace the other.
Tree Trimming & Pruning
Our crews prune inside the HOA's hours for tree trimming gear. That means 7am to 6pm on weekdays and 9am to 5pm on Saturdays. No Sunday or holiday work is allowed, so we book every job to fit.
Stump Grinding & Stump Removal
We grind the old stump deep when a strip tree is allowed to go. A 60-inch box tree of an approved species must then go back in the same strip. Deep grinding gives that big box room.
Palm Tree Trimming & Skinning
We cut spent fronds and seed stalks from front-yard palms before they drop on the walk. The rules count an untended front yard as a breach of the CC&Rs. From our lift, the crew peels old frond bases off from the top down.
Emergency Tree Service
We come out 24/7 when a tree threatens a home or the street. A street tree can skip the hearing only in a real life-safety emergency, with proof sent to the association office. The owner still owes a replacement tree.
Tree Maintenance
We check parkway strips and yard trees for dry, thinning crowns. The rules say those curb trees must be watered, above all during a remodel or after a low-water strip goes in. Catching stress early saves a tree the association wants kept.
Tree Height Reduction
We lower trees that have outgrown their lots with cuts to side limbs, keeping a natural form. An improper removal of a curb tree can bring fines up to $25,000, plus $2,500 a week until replaced. Reducing a tree is often the safer path.
Estate Tree Care
We keep a written plan for each mature tree on the larger lots here. All 1,354 homes share one set of CC&Rs, in force since 1940, and every plan follows them. We note which trees stand in the curb strip and which are yours.
Tree Shaping & Shrub Shearing
We shear hedges to the height your Landscape Review Committee approval allows. A hedge used as a wall in the front setback needs Board approval first. We keep the line clean and the base full.
Landscaping
We plant to the front-yard plan the Landscape Review Committee signed. Later changes to soil, mulch, DG or pavers need an amended application. We flag those before any work starts, so your plan stays in order.
Hardscape
We build low walls and paths that fit the tract's rules. Street-facing retaining walls over 1½ feet are seen as out of keeping, and approved walls must be hidden by planting. We plan that planting along with the wall.
Beverlywood tree questions, answered
Start here — these 6 cover most of what you need before booking tree work in Beverlywood. If yours is not here, call 877-787-7363 and ask.
Only with written approval from the Beverlywood Homes Association. You apply, give the reason, and the Board holds a hearing. If it says yes, you must plant a 60-inch box tree of a species it approves. For good cause, such as a diseased tree, it may allow a 48-inch box. City approval is needed as well, and one does not replace the other.
The association allows removal in a true life-safety emergency. You must tell its office and show proof that the danger could not wait for a Board hearing. You still have to replace the tree as the rules require. Without that proof, fines for an improper removal can reach $25,000, plus up to $2,500 a week until the tree is replaced.
Weekdays 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturdays 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The association's rules cover loud gear such as blowers, mowers and tree trimming equipment. None of that work is allowed on Sundays or national holidays. These hours are stricter than the city's, so we plan chipping and grinding inside them.
Not as a wall, unless the Board approves it first. Beverlywood bans walls and fences in the front setback, and that includes trees or hedges used that way. The Landscape Review Committee also checks hedge height and ground cover. Later changes to soil, mulch, DG or pavers need an amended application.
Yes — $600 for tree services, wherever the job is. Here, the price turns most on whether the job is a strip tree with board conditions or a yard tree with open access.
Yes, 24/7. Beverlywood lets a dangerous curb-strip tree come out before a hearing only when the risk to life is real and can be shown. Call 877-787-7363.

Working under the CC&Rs: why Beverlywood owners check us first
Tree work goes wrong when it is rushed or under-equipped. We run our own 75-foot boom trucks, lift trucks, chippers and stump grinders, and every crew works under an ISA Certified Arborist — so the job gets done right the first time.
We hold California license #1002853 for both landscaping and tree and palm work, we are bonded, we carry general liability and every employee is on workers’ compensation.
ISA Certified Arborist
Before any Beverlywood quote, an arborist visits free and tells you which tree sits in the strip by the curb, where a hearing comes first, and which is yours alone.
Licensed, Bonded & Insured
The association can fine up to $25,000 for a parkway tree cut without leave, so check who you hire. We hold CSLB #1002853 for tree service (C-61/D-49) and landscaping (C-27), carry a bond and insure each worker.

Beverlywood's CC&Rs date from 1940. Our business came along in 1985, and the family that started it still runs it.
Our Own Equipment
The HOA keeps green buffer strips along Robertson and Beverwil. Our own 75-foot boom trucks reach over them from the street, and our chippers ride along on the same trip.
