Ilya:
Besides the good advice previously given you about local ordinances, there
is the statewide law called the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) which may have some jurisdiction over the cutting of private trees,
depending upon the quantity, historic or cultural value, or significance
of the trees.

If you want more information, just ask me.  With a last name like mine,
it's only natural that I've been involved in protecting trees more than
once.... and find CEQA sometimes of assistance.
