San Angelo requires owners to trim trees overhanging sidewalks, streets, and alleys so branches don't block travel (Sec. 7.02.031), and to keep hedges clear of public sidewalks (Sec. 7.02.032).
Sections 7.02.031 and 7.02.032 of the Code of Ordinances make property owners responsible for trimming trees that overhang public sidewalks, streets, or alleys and for keeping hedges and shrubbery off sidewalks. Damaging or destroying trees you do not own, on private ground or public property, is unlawful under Sec. 7.02.033. Oak wilt is present across Central and West Texas; the Texas A&M Forest Service advises against pruning oaks from February through June and painting cuts immediately to limit spread. Street and right-of-way trees fall under city control (Sec. 7.02.034).
Failure to clear branches over public ways draws a code compliance notice; uncorrected trimming may be performed by the city at the owner's expense. Injuring another's or a public tree is a misdemeanor (Sec. 7.02.033).
