About Tree Trimming Cameron Park

Tree Trimming Cameron Park is one phone line plus this little website, built for Cameron Park folks whose trees could use a hand. Dial (530) 380-5512 and we'll book a pruning pro who works around your end of town.

Serving Cameron Park, CA 95682 and nearby towns

Our part of the job

• Picking up calls, and reading every note that comes in through the form.
• Quizzing you a little: the kind of tree, the spot, the trouble, the timing.
• Hunting down an independent tree pro who already drives your roads.
• Booking the visit for a time you can be there, or not, as you like.
• Finding a second pro too, when you'd like two quotes side by side.

Not our part

No climbing, cutting or hauling on our end. Every bit of tree work belongs to the independent pro you choose. Pricing is theirs to set, and the bill goes straight from them to you.

We also don't decide what your tree needs. That's between you and the pro, once they've seen it.

For how this site pays its own bills, see the disclosure page.

Why only trimming?

Most tree sites are about cutting trees down. This one is about keeping them. In Cameron Park that means oaks pruned in their own season, pines left alone during beetle months, street trees that don't get topped, and limbs kept off roofs and wires.

Honestly, the "when" and "why" of pruning are what most people never get told. So we tried to explain them in plain words.

Where the facts come from

None of the tree tips here are invented. Each rule, date and dollar amount ties to a source we name, and most come from these:

• University of California experts, both the Master Gardeners and the UC IPM pest program, on oaks, pines, bugs and watering.
• The International Society of Arboriculture, for how and how much to prune.
• PG&E, for trees near power lines.
• The Cameron Park Community Services District and UC's fire network, for fire safety and CC&Rs.
• National cost guides for prices, since no official local price list exists.

Rules change. If you spot something out of date, give us a call so it gets fixed.
