Request inspection, trimming, removal of a public tree
Tree trimming in the City is completed on a regular schedule based on urban forestry best practices. Businesses and residents can request non-emergency tree-trimming services by calling Landscape Maintenance at (510) 583-8906 or submitting an online request through Access Hayward.
Emergency tree-trimming to remove branches from power lines is only completed by Pacific Gas & Electric Company contractors. For emergency tree-trimming services, call (800) 743-5000.
Upon request, Landscape Maintenance will remove trees that impede the completion of sewer line repairs, have multiple issues that cannot be corrected by trimming, or are an imminent hazard to the public. In all tree removal cases, the City will evaluate the tree and work to find alternatives to removal before removing the tree. If workable alternatives exist and the resident still wants the tree removed, the removal must be done at the resident's expense. Request tree removal by calling Landscape Maintenance at (510) 583-8906 or submitting an online request through Access Hayward.
