Tree Service in Pleasant Valley

Out in Pleasant Valley? We'll find you some help. Call (530) 771-8785 and we'll steer a tree pro your way, along Pleasant Valley Road or one of its side roads.

We line up the pro and the visit. The pro looks and names the price.

High and wooded

It's about 3.5 miles south of Camino, up near 2,461 feet. That's roughly 1,040 feet higher than Shingle Springs, so it's a different world in a winter storm.

The weather service still lists it in the Central Motherlode Between 1000-3000 ft zone. But it's near the top of that range, not far below where the snow zone usually starts, around 3,000 feet. More pines mix in with the oaks the higher you go.

Wet snow and pines are a rough combination. Branches load up, tops bend, and something gives. A big storm can leave a lot of broken pine tops behind.

Old trail country

This is old gold rush ground. The 49ers who settled Shingle Springs came through Pleasant Valley on the Carson-Emigrant Trail. From 1864 to 1917 the valley had its own post office.

Now it's mostly homes on bigger lots, many on long drives through the trees. When one of those trees falls across the drive, you're stuck until it's moved.

Fire and emergency help

County fire has two stations on Pleasant Valley Road. Station 19 keeps a crew on hand every hour of every day. Station 23 looks after Pleasant Valley and Oak Hill.

Fire, injuries, or a tree across a public road: 911. For a tree on your house, shop or drive, call us.

Signs to watch after a storm

Walk the place once the weather clears. Look for cracked tops still hanging in the branches. Check for trees that lean more than before, or dirt lifted at the base.

A hanging top can drop days later with no wind at all. Keep people and animals out from under it until a pro takes it down.

Cost ideas

From national guides: a tree already down runs about $75 to $150. An uprooted tree is around $300 to $500. Bigger standing trees, 60 to 100 feet, run $900 to $1,200.

Snowy roads and steep drives can add time. Your pro will put a real number on it.

When the power's out too

Up here, a storm that drops trees often knocks out power too. If your phone is running low, call us early while you still have a charge. Give us the address and a callback number.

The weather service suggests charging phones, booster packs and power tools before a big wind event. A charged saw is handy for small limbs. Anything big or tangled should still wait for a pro.

If a tree has pulled down the wire to your house, stay well back. Call 911 or PG&E before anything else.
