Sacramento County's majestic trees are a vital part of our landscape. But sometimes, difficult decisions need to be made. If a tree poses a safety hazard, is diseased, or simply outgrows its space, removal might be necessary. Here's a quick guide to navigate tree removal in Sacramento County: Assess the Situation: Safety First: Is the tree a danger to your property, home, or power lines? Dead or diseased branches pose a significant risk.

• Right Tree, Wrong Place: Has your tree grown too close to your house, foundation, or pool? Root systems can cause significant damage.
• Sickly Situation: Is your tree suffering from disease or infestation? Trying to save it might be futile.

Consult a Certified Arborist:

• A certified arborist can diagnose your tree's health and recommend the best course of action, including potential preservation methods.
• They can also help you navigate local permits and regulations.

Sacramento County Tree Removal Regulations:

• Sacramento County has specific ordinances regarding tree removal. Obtaining a permit might be required depending on the size, species, and location of the tree.

Choosing a Tree Removal Company:

• Get quotes from multiple companies and ensure they are licensed and bonded.
