Los Angeles has strict regulations protecting certain native tree species. Coast live oak, western sycamore, California walnut, and southern California black walnut carry legal protections under LA tree ordinance. Removing or severely pruning these trees without permits and proper arborist evaluation can result in fines and required replacement plantings.
A Sandoval Tree Service is led by certified arborist Alfredo Sandoval, and we know LA's protected species regulations inside out. Before any work on protected trees, we evaluate the tree's condition, check permits and restrictions, and ensure the work complies with city requirements. Residential and commercial properties alike benefit from this expertise.
Have a protected species on your property? Call for a free consultation. We handle the permit process and deliver the care your trees need within LA's requirements.
