Urban Forestry Division is responsible for the maintenance of thousands of street trees. These maintenance activities include emergency and routine maintenance pruning, tree planting and tree removals, stump grinding and brush chipping.

Leading the Urban Forestry Division is Certified Arborist, Will Barrera. There are currently six positions authorized in the Urban Forestry Division. 

Please help us maintain these trees by watering them often and contacting our   department for any concerns.  Please do not cut down or trim your City tree unless you have permission from the City.

The City of Patterson will perform the following on City street trees:

• Routine and emergency pruning.
• Removal of trees that are causing damage to public or private property, safety hazards to property, or any dead, dying, or diseased trees.
• Removal of mistletoe.
•  Replacement of an existing tree.

If the City has removed your City tree, all efforts will be made to replace it based on tree availability. Should you have questions, please contact the Public Works Department at (209)895-8060. Each street has a designated species of tree and cannot be replaced prior to approval from the Department of Public Works.
