Towns We Cover Around Placerville

We help people in Placerville and the towns around it, out to roughly 15 miles. Every place below is outside Placerville city limits, so county rules apply there. Each one still has its own wrinkle. Call (530) 316-5144 from any of them.

Close in, a short drive from downtown

• Tree removal in Diamond Springs: the county's fire district is headquartered on Pleasant Valley Road here.
• Tree removal in El Dorado: the old Mud Springs camp, about 4 miles southwest of Placerville.
• Tree removal in Smith Flat: a small spot about 2.5 miles east of town, on the old wagon route.

East and higher, where the pines take over

• Tree removal in Camino: apple ranch country, around 3,000 feet, where snow shows up several times each winter.
• Tree removal in Pollock Pines: the ridge-top timber town where the King Fire started in 2014.
• Tree removal in Somerset: ten-acre parcels and dirt driveways south of Camino.

North, toward the American River

• Tree removal in Gold Hill: old farm ground and a fire station with a BLM hand crew.
• Tree removal in Coloma: the gold discovery town, down low on the South Fork.
• Tree removal in Lotus: just west of Coloma, home to the district's swift water rescue boat.
• Tree removal in Garden Valley: oak woodland climbing to pine ridges, with its own fire district.
• Tree removal in Georgetown: on the Divide, where the Mosquito Fire forced people out in 2022.

West, along Highway 50

• Tree removal in Shingle Springs: right on the highway, served by a fire station staffed around the clock.
• Tree removal in Rescue: farms, vineyards and part of the Pine Hill Preserve.
• Tree removal in Cameron Park: its own community services district with its own clearing rules.

Your town isn't here?

Call anyway. A lot of small places, like Pleasant Valley or Oak Hill, sit between the towns on this list. If it's beyond where we can find a pro, we'll tell you.

One thing that's the same everywhere

Every one of these places is in unincorporated El Dorado County. That means the county fire clearing rule, Chapter 8.09, and the county oak chapter are the ones to know. Our permit page explains both.
