Tree Service Licensed & Insured

Homeowners seeking tree service including tree removal and tree pruning in El Dorado Hills, Placerville, Cameron Park, Shingle Springs, El Dorado County, or surrounding communities should hire licensed and insured contractors. Licensing and insurance provide a robust framework of protection from potential financial liabilities, ensuring contractors are accountable for their work and workers are covered in case of injuries. Your homeowner’s insurance may not cover this. As a prime contractor for PG&E, we carry higher-than-average insurance, improving our risk profile and benefiting our clients without added cost or financial risk in the event of injury or property damage.​

Tree Pruning & Trimming Service

Regular tree trimming and pruning are crucial not only for aesthetics but also for the health of your trees. Our expert team in Placerville, Cameron Park, Shingle Springs, and El Dorado Hills specializes in precise pruning and trimming techniques that stimulate growth and improve the structure of the trees. This service is especially important in areas prone to wildfires where maintaining tree health can significantly reduce risk. If someone offers to top your trees, don't do it. Tree topping is harmful to the tree's health. Instead, we recommend proper pruning to promote tree health and longevity, especially before storm season. This approach reduces wind and storm damage to trees and surrounding property, ensuring branches are removed in a controlled setting rather than by nature.
