Urban Forest Maintenance

07/06/2026

LARMAC’s urban forest includes more than 39,000 trees across more than 76 species, averaging roughly one tree for every 1,600 square feet.

Ladera Ranch was recently approved as a Tree City USA, a national program established by the Arbor Day Foundation.
Maintaining the urban forest requires pruning, tree removal when necessary, new tree planting, and IPM techniques to control insect and disease issues.
Protocols are established for treating insects and diseases that could threaten large tree populations.
LARMAC continues to introduce new tree species with consideration for native species, climate-ready species, and Orange County Fire Authority requirements.
Specific concerns include Invasive Shot Hole Borer, leafhoppers on pepper trees, and citrus pests such as leafminers, Asian citrus psyllid, and huanglongbing.
