Roseville protects its native oaks and heritage trees through one of the region's stronger tree ordinances, which makes an independent arborist report essential before development or removal. I am Christopher Hodge, an ISA Board Certified Master Arborist, the International Society of Arboriculture's highest credential, and I serve Roseville homeowners, builders, and HOAs with CEQA arborist reports, tree risk assessments, and tree preservation plans. No removal crews, no conflicts of interest.
Roseville's tree preservation ordinance
Roseville is in Placer County, and the City of Roseville protects native oaks and heritage trees through its tree preservation ordinance. Removing or impacting a protected tree generally requires a permit and an arborist report, and development projects trigger tree preservation and CEQA review. I prepare reports that satisfy the city's requirements so your project keeps moving.
Native oaks on the valley floor
Roseville's valley oaks, blue oaks, and interior live oaks sit in the middle of one of the fastest growing areas in the region. That puts steady pressure on the canopy and makes tree inventories, preservation plans, and mitigation a regular part of building here. I document the trees, the impacts, and the mitigation the city expects.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Roseville?
Often, yes. The City of Roseville protects native oaks and heritage trees, and removing or significantly impacting one generally requires a permit and a supporting arborist report. I confirm whether your tree is protected under the ordinance and prepare the documentation the city requires.
What is a tree preservation plan?
A tree preservation plan is a written plan that identifies which trees on a site will be retained and how they will be protected during construction, through root zone fencing, grading limits, and care specifications. Roseville and many cities require one for development near protected trees. I prepare and, when needed, monitor these plans.
