Tree Service Areas Across Orange County
Peterson's Tree Works is a family-owned tree company based in Orange, serving Orange County since 1980.
Local Tree Care, City by City
Orange County isn't one landscape. A canyon lot in Yorba Linda, a Craftsman bungalow in Old Towne Orange and an HOA slope in Mission Viejo each come with different trees, different risks and different rules.
That's why we built a page for each area we serve. Each one covers the trees you're likely to have, the neighborhoods and HOAs we work around, the hillside, wind and fire conditions to plan for, and what the city says about permits, with a link to the city's own page so you can check it yourself.
Our yard is at 605 N Rancho Santiago Blvd in Orange, near the middle of the county. From there our crews and our ISA Certified Arborists handle tree trimming and pruning, tree removal, palm tree service, stump grinding, tree planting, arborist reports and emergency tree service, and we deliver seasoned firewood across the county.

Why the Rules Change at the City Line
Across Orange County, a tree in your own backyard usually doesn't need a city permit. The exceptions are what catch people out. Parkway trees between the sidewalk and curb belong to the city in most places. Anaheim protects specimen oaks, sycamores and peppers in its Scenic Corridor. Irvine treats established eucalyptus windrows as significant trees. Orange can require a permit for trees in public view in a historic district like Old Towne. Unincorporated areas such as North Tustin follow county rules instead of a city's.
HOAs add another layer. Many associations have their own tree and landscape standards, approved-vendor requirements and insurance rules, and those can be stricter than the city's. We're licensed, insured and bonded, and we can provide general liability and workers' compensation certificates for your association's vendor file.
When a permit calls for an arborist report, our ISA Certified Arborists can prepare one.
