Folsom Heritage Oak & Protected Tree Care

The City of Folsom is famous for its majestic oak canopy. Because the city has a strict Tree Preservation Ordinance, you need a team that knows the rules. We help Folsom residents manage their trees while staying compliant with city code.
 
  • Permit Assistance: We help identify "Protected Trees" (including native Oaks 6" or larger in diameter) and assist with the eTRAKiT online permit application process for removals or major pruning.
 
  • Safe Pruning & Maintenance: Our team follows ISA standards to avoid illegal practices like "topping" or "lions-tailing," which are prohibited on protected trees in Folsom.
 
  • Heritage Tree Preservation: Deep-root fertilization and structural pruning to ensure your legacy trees remain healthy for generations.

Folsom Weed Abatement & Fire Safety
Fire safety is a top priority for our community. We provide professional clearing services to help you meet the Folsom Municipal Code and Fire Department requirements for defensible space.
 
  • 30-Foot Firebreaks: Establishing required clearance around structures by removing flammable vegetation and dry brush.
 
  • Ladder Fuel Reduction: Trimming low-hanging branches and thinning dense shrubs to prevent fire from moving from the ground to the tree canopy.
 
  • Property Perimeter Clearing: Maintaining 10-foot clearances along roadways and trails as required by city fire officials to ensure safe evacuation routes.

Frequently Asked Questions: Folsom

Do I need a permit just to prune my oak tree in Folsom? If you plan to remove more than 10% of the canopy or cut limbs larger than 2 inches in diameter on a protected tree, the City of Folsom requires a tree work permit. We can assess your tree and help you secure the necessary approvals before work begins.

How does the Folsom "Cash for Grass" rebate work? The city currently offers rebates (historically up to $1 per square foot, up to $2,000 per address) for removing turf. Your project must be approved before you start. We can provide the landscape plan and efficiency documentation needed for your application.

Can you help with emergency tree removal after a Folsom windstorm? Yes. We prioritize emergency calls for downed trees or hazardous limbs that threaten homes, power lines, or public rights-of-way in Folsom.

Are you licensed to work in Folsom? Absolutely. We are fully licensed by the California Contractors State License Board (Lic #1060343) and carry the necessary insurance to protect your property during any tree or landscaping project.
