Tree Service on the Westside
The Westside runs from the hills of Bel Air and Brentwood to the beach towns. We remove, trim and care for trees across every area listed below.
What trees in Westside are up against
Much of the Westside is in the City of Los Angeles, and the city protects some trees even on private land. Native oaks, western sycamores, black walnuts and California bays are protected once the trunk is 4 inches across. Trees in the parkway belong to the city. Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Culver City, West Hollywood and Malibu each run their own rules.
Fire has shaped this area. The 1961 Bel Air Fire destroyed 484 homes and led the city to adopt strict brush clearance rules. In January 2025, the Palisades Fire destroyed more than 6,800 homes and buildings. In the hills, the fire department checks brush and tree clearance every year, and many lots now plan their planting around it.

Tree questions from Westside
Answers that apply across Westside. Your town's page has its own rules. If yours is not here, call 877-787-7363 and ask.
It depends on the tree and the city. In the City of Los Angeles, protected natives need a permit even in your own yard, and parkway trees always need one. The independent cities set their own rules. Each town page below links the rules that apply there.
In the hill areas, dead wood comes out, lower branches are lifted off the ground, and limbs are kept back from roofs and chimneys. The goal is to stop a ground fire from climbing into the trees. Inspections run each spring, so plan the work before then.
