Active Tree and Yard Service - Truckee's Professional Landscapers

Defensible space is a crucial practice in our Truckee community to reduce wildfire risk by creating a buffer zone around your home. With 18 years of specialized experience, we strategically prune and remove trees, manage shrubs, and clear debris to slow the spread of fire and give firefighters a safer area to work. Our services are tailored to the specific vegetation and terrain of Tahoe Donner, helping you meet local regulations while protecting your most valuable asset.

Dry patches and erosion are common in Truckee due to our sun exposure, soil composition, and snowmelt patterns. We address this through targeted landscape construction and maintenance. This can include installing more drought-tolerant greenscapes, improving soil health, adjusting irrigation for better coverage, and using erosion-control mulching techniques that stay in place. Our goal is to create a lush, stable landscape that thrives with less water and withstands our seasonal changes.

Timing is key in our High Sierra climate. For most trees, late winter or early spring, while they are still dormant, is ideal for major pruning. This helps prevent disease and insect issues. For shrubs, care schedules vary by species, but generally, pruning after flowering maintains health and shape. Our shrub care services, including disease and insect management, are scheduled according to these local seasonal cycles to ensure your plants remain vigorous and beautiful year-round.
