Tree care in Corona del Mar
Palm-lined streets on the edge of the sea
Corona del Mar is known for its palms. The city lists 144 Mexican fan palms on Goldenrod Avenue, 81 Canary Island date palms on Marguerite Avenue and 82 flooded gums on Poppy Avenue as protected neighborhood trees. They stay unless they are dead, sick, damaging things or dangerous. The homes on the Flower Streets sit close together, so tree work here takes careful planning. Homes that back onto Buck Gully or Morning Canyon also have yearly fire rules to meet by the end of May.
Those famous palms belong to the city. The ones in your yard are yours to care for.
Who governs tree work in Corona del Mar
City of Newport Beach
Corona Del Mar has no tree ordinance of its own — it is governed by City of Newport Beach, and that jurisdiction's rules apply here. Tree Division staff is responsible for the maintenance and care of the City's 35,000 trees located within the public right-of-way and on public property. Rules change. Confirm current requirements with the jurisdiction before work begins — filing a permit is the property owner's responsibility, not ours.
Services
Palm trimming, tight-lot removals and bluff pruning in Corona del Mar
Supreme Tree Experts trims private palms, prunes bluff-top trees and ropes down removals on Corona del Mar's close-set lots. When salt air browns your fronds or the canyon-edge fire deadline nears in May, residents rely on Supreme Tree Experts.
Tree Removal
We take down private trees in Corona del Mar in small pieces, lowered on ropes between close-set homes. On the Flower Streets, houses sit so tight that each cut is planned before the crew arrives. City street trees stay with the city.
Tree Trimming & Pruning
Our crews thin bluff-top trees so sea wind passes through the crown. The city trims the Monterey pines on Seaview and Heliotrope, and trims more often if you pay. Your own trees are ours to prune.
Stump Grinding & Stump Removal
In narrow side yards, a compact grinder chews stumps down under the soil. We rake the chips out and leave the spot ready for new planting. Roots near walls and walks are followed and cut back too.
Palm Tree Trimming & Skinning
We trim palms on your property and skin the dead boots for a clean coastal look. Salt spray off the ocean often browns frond tips here. Our lift truck parks close to the curb, so neighbors can still pass while we work.
Emergency Tree Service
Bluff-top palms and pines take the full sea wind, and a big frond or limb can drop at any hour. Our crew answers 24/7. Keep people clear until we arrive and make the tree safe.
Tree Maintenance
Salt air and wind are hard on coastal trees, so routine care includes a check for stress. Rinsing the leaves and deep watering with low-salt water can flush salt from the soil. We look for dead limbs and cracked forks on the same visit.
Tree Height Reduction
Lowering a private tree with proper cuts can open an ocean view without harming it. The protected street palms, like the 144 fan palms on Goldenrod, cannot be cut for a view. We work only on the trees you own.
Estate Tree Care
Hillside homes with ocean views often hold large pines and palms planted many decades ago. The neighborhood dates to 1904, so some trees are very old. We look after them on one plan that tracks each tree year to year.
Tree Shaping & Shrub Shearing
We shear hedges on small village lots so they stay off paths, walls and the neighbor's side. Shrubs are shaped to let sea breeze through rather than catch it. Clippings are bagged and carried out through the side yard.
Landscaping
Homes that back onto Buck Gully or Morning Canyon must meet yearly fire rules by the last week of May. That means dead plants out and space kept between canopies. We plan planting that stays inside those rules.
Hardscape
Patios and garden walls on sloped ocean-view lots need a firm, level base. We set them clear of the roots of pines and palms, so neither the tree nor the stone suffers. Drainage is planned so water does not pool.
Your palm or the city's? How we work Corona del Mar's tight lots
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 a price, our arborist looks up whether a palm is a listed city Special Tree, like the 144 on Goldenrod, or your own.
Licensed, Bonded & Insured
On tight village lots, insurance matters if something goes wrong. We are insured for every worker, bonded, and licensed under California #1002853.
Southern California Since 1985
Bluff-top palms and pines face the sea wind. Our family has done storm work since 1985.
Our Own Equipment
Our own lift truck works close to the curb on the narrow Flower Streets, so neighbors can still get by.

Tree work in Corona del Mar: the common questions
6 answers for Corona del Mar, no hedging. If yours is not here, call 877-787-7363 and ask.
Usually not. The palms on streets like Goldenrod and Marguerite are protected city trees. They are kept unless they are dead, diseased, damaging property or dangerous, and a view is not one of those reasons. The City of Newport Beach decides.
The city does. If you want them trimmed more often, you can pay the city for extra trimming. The same goes for the Monterey pines on Seaview and Heliotrope and the 74 fan palms at the state beach. Palms on your own property are yours to look after.
Meet the fire department's yearly rules by the last week of May. That means removing dead plants and trees, keeping the roof clear of leaves and needles, and keeping space between tree canopies. We can do the tree side of that work.
Salt spray off the ocean is a common cause. It browns fronds from the tips. Rinsing the leaves and deep watering with low-salt water can help flush the salt from the soil.
Yes — $600 for tree services, wherever the job is. Close-set homes on the Flower Streets often mean work by hand and rope, which takes longer.
Yes, 24/7. Heavy fronds and limbs can fall on close-set homes and cars in a storm. Call 877-787-7363.
