TREE DESTRUCTION PERMITS
Woodside Tree Removal Requirements
The Town of Woodside states that all tree species are subject to Tree Destruction Permit requirements once they reach the applicable size thresholds established in the Woodside Zoning Ordinance. The threshold varies by species, so property owners should review the Town's current rules before removing a qualifying tree.
Woodside currently accepts Tree Destruction Permit applications through its eTRAKiT system. The Town's application may require information such as tree species, size, condition, site location, photographs, and the relationship of the tree to structures, property lines, easements, streams, trails, or other site features.

Grind unwanted stumps below the surrounding grade based on site conditions and how the area will be used afterward.
Large Stump Grinding
Commercial stump grinding equipment for large-diameter stumps from mature trees.
Multiple Stump Grinding
Grind several stumps during one visit for cleanup, landscape work, or site preparation.
Difficult-Access Stumps
Equipment options for backyards, narrow access points, gates, slopes, and other difficult areas.

Landscape Preparation
Remove stump material before lawn restoration, planting, fencing, hardscape, and other landscape improvements.

About Tree Care in Woodside, CA
Protecting Woodside's Mature Tree Canopy
Woodside is known for its natural landscapes, rolling hills, mature forests, large residential properties, and extensive tree canopy. Trees play an important role in the Town's rural character while providing shade, privacy, erosion control, habitat, and landscape value.
Mature trees on Woodside properties often grow near homes, driveways, roads, utilities, fences, neighboring properties, slopes, and other improvements. Proper pruning and tree maintenance can help address deadwood, clearance, structural concerns, storm damage, and conflicts with surrounding property.
Common native and established species in and around Woodside include Coast Redwoods, Coast Live Oaks, California Bay Laurels, Madrones, Douglas Firs, and other trees adapted to the Peninsula's varied conditions.
Woodside's terrain also makes site conditions important. Slopes, narrow roads, limited equipment access, wooded lots, and vegetation density can all affect how tree removal, pruning, and stump grinding projects should be planned.
JJI Tree Service provides tree removal, pruning, stump grinding, emergency tree service, and related property care throughout Woodside. Our approach focuses on careful planning, appropriate equipment, property protection, and awareness of local tree regulations.
WOODSIDE TREE PERMITS
Woodside Tree Ordinances, Permits & Significant Trees
The Town of Woodside regulates tree removal through its Tree Destruction Permit process. According to the Town's current permit information, all tree species are subject to permit requirements once they meet the applicable species-specific size threshold.
A Tree Destruction Permit application may require a site sketch, identification of Significant Trees, species, size, health, general condition, photographs, and nearby site features. The Town may also require an arborist report if the submitted information is not sufficient to determine tree condition or potential danger.
Tree-protection considerations can also become important during construction, grading, trenching, road work, landscaping, or other activity around mature trees and their root zones.
Because the applicable tree threshold and project requirements can vary, homeowners, contractors, and property managers should review current Town requirements before beginning tree removal or development work involving Significant Trees.
