Local Tree Species: Specialized Care & Removal

As a family-owned company established in 2018, Alta Vista Landscaping & Tree Service understands that the trees on your property are more than just greenery—they are vital assets to your landscape's health and value. Operating under License #1060343, our team provides expert arboreal solutions tailored to the unique species found throughout Folsom and El Dorado County.

Common Local Challenges

Growing trees in the foothills presents specific obstacles that require local expertise.
 
  • Soil Conditions: Much of our service area, particularly Folsom, deals with heavy clay and rock, which can lead to drainage issues and root stress.
 
  • Pest & Disease Management: From Oak Root Fungus to seasonal infestations, we monitor your trees for signs of decline to intervene before the damage becomes irreversible.
 
  • Fire Safety: In areas like El Dorado Hills and the outskirts of Folsom, managing tree density and removing "fuel ladders" is essential for wildfire mitigation and defensible space compliance.

Species Identification & Expert Care

Our region is home to several iconic species, each requiring a distinct approach to maintenance and preservation.
 
  • Oak Tree Specialists (Valley, Interior Live, & Blue Oaks): These heritage trees define our local skyline but require strict adherence to Folsom’s preservation ordinances. We specialize in structural pruning and deadwooding to maintain their health and legal compliance.
 
  • Japanese Maples: Known for their aesthetic beauty, these trees require fine-pruning techniques and dedicated heat protection to survive the intense California summers.
 
  • Redwoods & Sequoias: While majestic, these giants can quickly become overgrown in suburban lots. We focus on large-scale canopy thinning and safe removal of hazardous overgrowth.
 
  • Western Redbuds: We provide seasonal care for this native favorite, ensuring its vibrant blooms and heart-shaped leaves remain a focal point of your garden.

Frequently Asked Questions: Local Tree Care

  • Do I need a permit to remove an Oak tree in Folsom? Yes, the City of Folsom has specific landmark and heritage tree ordinances. Most native Oaks with a trunk diameter of 6 inches or greater require a permit before any major pruning or removal. We can help you navigate the application process and provide the necessary arborist reports.
 
  • How often should my Japanese Maples be pruned? For health and aesthetic shape, Japanese Maples generally benefit from "fine-pruning" once a year during the dormant season (winter) or in early summer after the first growth flush. This helps prevent heat stress and maintain their delicate structure.
 
  • Are Redwoods suitable for small residential yards? While beautiful, Redwoods grow extremely large and have aggressive root systems. In smaller suburban lots, they often require regular canopy thinning to manage height and prevent limb failure. If a Redwood is encroaching on your foundation, we can evaluate if removal is the safest option.
 
  • When is the best time to prune Western Redbuds? Western Redbuds should be pruned immediately after they finish blooming in the spring. This encourages new growth and ensures you don't cut off next year's flower buds.
