Wood Chipping Services

There are several benefits to chipping vegetation on your property.

• Efficiency: It is one of the most efficient debris management strategies available to properties, because you can quickly reduce tree limbs, branches, and other organic matter into smaller chips that can be easily transported.
• Aesthetics: Clearing your property of this vegetation creates an aesthetically pleasing environment free of unsightly debris.
• Fire Safety: Perhaps most importantly, clearing potential fire fuels like dry branches and limbs could help prevent the spread of wildfires that are so common throughout El Dorado County.

El Dorado County ordinances No. 5101 and No. 5186 require that homeowners and property owners ensure defensible space around structures and property lines in an effort to prevent the spread of wildfires.

These regulations apply to the municipalities of Placerville and South Lake Tahoe, as well as unincorporated areas like El Dorado Hills, Cameron Park, Shingle Springs, Camino, and Pollock Pines.

Wood chipping, along with various tree service offerings and weed abatement, is an important part of an overall land management strategy to create fire safe properties.
