Tree care in Villa Park
The Hidden Jewel and its big yards
Villa Park is the smallest city in Orange County, and it has no public parks — its trees grow in yards, medians and parkways. Lots average about half an acre, and the winding streets have few sidewalks. The land grew grapes, then walnuts and apricots, then citrus for about 60 years before homes arrived. The city's hazard plan says Santa Ana winds can reach 100 mph, and that fallen and uprooted trees do most of the wind damage. It lists four wildfires that reached the city, most recently the Santiago Fire in October 2007.
In Villa Park, the city's own plan says it plainly: in a windstorm, the trees are what fall.
Who governs tree work in Villa Park
City of Villa Park
Tree work in Villa Park follows the City of Villa Park's rules. Every tree in a public parkway, sidewalk, easement or right-of-way is a City street tree, and it is unlawful to cut down, remove, injure or destroy one without first getting written consent from the City (Villa Park Code §16-1.12). The owner next to a parkway tree must water and maintain it, but that duty does not include removal without written City approval (§16-1.7). Removal requests for trees along Wanda Road, Santiago Boulevard, Taft Avenue, Mesa Drive, Valley Drive, Center Drive, Lemon Street and Villa Park Road go to the full City Council (§16-1.4). Rules change. Confirm current requirements with the jurisdiction before work begins — filing a permit is the property owner's responsibility, not ours.

Services
Half-acre lots in Villa Park need thinning, removal and wind cleanup
Supreme Tree Experts thins, removes and grinds out big trees on Villa Park's half-acre lots. Santa Ana winds can hit 100 mph here, so Villa Park owners book thinning with Supreme Tree Experts.
Tree Removal
We take down big yard trees on Villa Park's half-acre lots, often set far back from the street. Every parkway, easement or right-of-way tree is a city street tree, and cutting one needs the city's written consent. We sort yours from the city's first.
Tree Trimming & Pruning
Our crews thin heavy crowns and cut out weak limbs before the windy season. The city's hazard plan says Santa Ana winds here can reach 100 mph in fall and winter. A thinner crown lets those gusts pass through.
Stump Grinding & Stump Removal
We grind out stumps below grade after a big yard tree comes down. Grinding reaches past the root flare, so lawn or beds can cover the spot. We rake the chips back in or haul them off, as you prefer.
Palm Tree Trimming & Skinning
We strip dead fronds and old frond bases from tall palms that stand over pools and drives. With few sidewalks on the winding streets, our lift truck often sets up right on your drive. The trunk ends up clean and smooth.
Emergency Tree Service
We take storm calls day or night when a tree crushes a roof or blocks a drive. The city's hazard plan says most wind damage here comes from uprooted and downed trees. We make the site safe, then clear it.
Tree Maintenance
We check the big trees in your yard every year for dead wood and weak roots. Villa Park has no public parks, so most of its tree cover grows on private lots like yours. That puts their care in owners' hands.
Tree Height Reduction
We reduce tall crowns to sound side limbs, never topping them. For any tree touching a power line, call Southern California Edison first, since it usually clears lines for free. Once the line is safe, we work on the rest of the tree.
Estate Tree Care
We plan care across lots that average about half an acre and often hold many big trees. Jobs are listed by risk, with trees over the roof and drive first. You can do it all at once or in stages.
Tree Shaping & Shrub Shearing
We shape hedges and shrubs on your side of the lot line so they sit well beside the street plantings. Planted medians and parkways give the streets here their look, and the city owns those. We shear only what is yours.
Landscaping
We plan planting that keeps open space around the house. The city's hazard plan advises clearing brush and trees at least 25 feet from homes. We place new beds and trees with that gap in mind.
Hardscape
We build drives, paths and patios on a firm base, laid clear of big roots. Owners must water and maintain the parkway tree beside their lot, so we leave its roots room too. Water drains away from the house and trunks.
Why Villa Park's big, set-back yard trees suit our crew
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
An arborist walks your lot for free and sorts your own trees from the city's street and median trees.

Tree work in Villa Park: the common questions
6 answers for Villa Park, no hedging. If yours is not here, call 877-787-7363 and ask.
The city does. Villa Park counts its street trees as city property, part of the planted medians and parkways that line its streets. Call City Hall before you prune or remove one. Trees inside your lot line are yours to care for.
Yes, in parts. The city's hazard plan says many well-established neighborhoods are in the fire zone. It lists four fires that reached the city: Gypsum Canyon (1982), Stagecoach (1993), Sierra (2006) and Santiago (2007). The plan advises clearing brush and trees at least 25 feet from homes.
Very strong. The city's plan says Santa Ana winds can reach 100 mph in fall and winter. It notes that most wind damage is to streets and sidewalks from uprooted and downed trees. Thinning heavy crowns and taking out weak trees before the season lowers the risk at home.
Southern California Edison, usually. The city's hazard plan says Edison will normally clear tall trees from power lines for free. Call Edison first about any tree touching a line. We can work on the rest of the tree once the line is safe.
Yes — $600 for tree services, wherever the job is. On half-acre lots, how far the tree stands from the street shapes the job.
Yes, 24/7. Santa Ana winds can reach 100 mph here, and trees are what they bring down. Call 877-787-7363.
