Serving Every Corner of Citrus Heights
We are proud to serve the entire 7.1 square miles of Citrus Heights. Whether you are located near the Sunrise MarketPlace, the Birdcage Heights neighborhood, or along Antelope Road, our crews are in your area weekly. We are also familiar with the Citrus Heights Tree Preservation Ordinance. If your project involves a protected "Heritage Tree" (such as a native Oak over a certain size), we can help you understand the local requirements for permits and preservation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Citrus Heights? Yes, Citrus Heights has a specific Tree Preservation and Protection Ordinance. You generally need a permit to remove "Protected Trees," which include:
Native Oaks (Valley Oak, Interior Live Oak, Blue Oak, or Oracle Oak) with a diameter of 6 inches or greater.
Heritage Trees of any species that are particularly large or significant.
Mature Trees on certain residential or commercial properties. We can help you measure your tree and determine if a city permit is required before work begins.
How do you handle tree work in older Citrus Heights neighborhoods? Many Citrus Heights homes, especially near Greenback Lane or Old Auburn Road, have mature landscapes with limited access. We use specialized "compact lifts" that can fit through standard backyard gates, allowing us to remove or trim large trees without damaging your established gardens, fences, or your neighbor’s property.
What should I do about trees encroaching on power lines or sidewalks? Citrus Heights is known for its tree-lined streets, but overgrowth can lead to city code violations. we provide Safety Clearance Pruning to ensure your trees meet the "vertical clearance" requirements for sidewalks and streets, and we can safely prune limbs away from the service drop lines connecting to your home.
Can you help with "Mistletoe" infestations? Mistletoe is very common in the older Modesto Ash and Oak trees throughout Citrus Heights. If left untreated, it can sap the life from your trees. We offer Mistletoe Abatement, which involves the surgical removal of the parasite and strategic pruning to restore the tree's health and appearance.
How do you protect my property during a tree removal? We use a "Low-Impact" philosophy. For every job in Citrus Heights, we use Ground Protection Mats to prevent our equipment from leaving ruts in your lawn or cracking your driveway. We also use precision rigging to lower large branches piece-by-piece, ensuring your roof and landscape stay 100% safe.
Are there specific pruning times I should follow? For the native Oaks prevalent in Citrus Heights, we recommend pruning during the dormant season (late fall to early spring). This helps prevent the spread of diseases and reduces stress on the tree. However, "Deadwooding" (removing dead or broken branches) can and should be done year-round to ensure the safety of your home during high-wind events.
