Tree Service in Carmichael

A colony from 1909

Daniel Carmichael started it in 1909 with Carmichael Colony No. I, which covered 2,000 acres. He later bought more land and called it Colony No. 2.

Colonies like that were sold as small farms and homes. Over time, houses filled in. The trees planted for those early owners are now over a century old in some spots.

Old trees are valuable. They are also heavy, with big limbs and a lot of wood that has aged. A look from a pro is smart.

A big, spread-out place

Carmichael covers 15.57 square miles and had 79,793 people in 2020. It's an unincorporated suburb, so it's not a city. The ZIP code is 95608, and the ground sits about 125 feet above sea level.

Because it's so big, tree conditions change a lot from one street to the next. Give us your street and we'll pick a pro close to it.

Carmichael isn't part of the City of Folsom, so Folsom's tree rules don't apply there. Ask your pro what covers your tree.

The governor's house

One odd landmark is Casa de los Gobernadores. It was built in 1974 to be the official residence of the Governor of California, but no governor ever lived there. It was sold to private owners in 1983.

Big old homes like that tend to come with big old trees. If you have an estate-style lot, you probably have large oaks or pines. Those need a close look every year or two.

The fix for a big problem is often smaller if you catch it early.

What it costs in Carmichael

A guide for the Sacramento area says average removals run about $723. The range runs from $270 to $1,166.

Big trees, 60 to 100 feet tall, land between $900 and $1,200. One pulled up by the roots is nearer $300 to $500. Emergency work can cost far more than normal jobs.

Your pro quotes before starting. Ask for it in writing.

Before you call about a Carmichael tree

A few minutes of looking saves the pro a lot of guessing. Grab your phone and do this loop around the yard.

1. Find the tree and note which way it leans.
2. Look up for wires, and keep away from any you see.
3. Check what sits under it: house, car, shed or play set.
4. Take a wide photo and a close one of the damage.
5. Write down your cross streets, since lots here run long and the numbers can confuse a driver.

Then call us. With those details in hand, we can tell the pro what to bring, whether that's a small saw crew or a bigger rig.

Neighbors on a long street sometimes share one big tree. If yours overhangs a fence, a quick chat with the other owner can save an argument later.
