About Tree Trimming Diamond Springs

Tree Trimming Diamond Springs is a phone line and a small website for Diamond Springs homes with a tree that needs some care. Ring (530) 238-3614 and we'll send a nearby pruning pro your way.

What we do

• We answer the phone and read the notes people send through the form.
• We ask about the tree: what kind, where it is, what's wrong, how soon.
• We track down an independent trimming pro based close to your street.
• We set up the visit.
• If you'd like to compare, we try to find a second pro.

What we don't do

We don't climb trees or run saws. The trimming, pruning and cleanup are done by the independent pro you choose. They set their own prices, and you pay them, not us.

We also don't tell you a tree has to be cut. That's between you and the pro, after they've seen it.

How this site is paid for is spelled out on our disclosure page.

Why a site just about trimming?

This site is about keeping trees, not cutting them down. Around here that means oaks that need the right season, pines that need a break from beetles, fruit trees, mistletoe, and limbs that have crept too close to a roof or a wire.

Good trimming is mostly about timing and restraint. We wanted one place that lays that out in plain words for this corner of El Dorado County.

Where the advice comes from

We don't make up tree advice. Every rule, date and price on this site comes from a source we can point to. Mostly these:

• UC Master Gardeners and the UC pest management program (oaks, fruit trees, mistletoe, bark beetles).
• The International Society of Arboriculture (how much to prune, how to cut).
• PG&E (trees near power lines).
• El Dorado County (oak rules) and UC's fire network (defensible space).
• National cost guides for prices, since there's no official local price list.

Rules change now and then. Seen something here that's gone stale? Give us a ring so it gets fixed.
