BEFORE YOU CONTACT A PROVIDER
Start with the work, not the label.
El Dorado County maintains local defensible-space requirements alongside state law. Ask for a property-specific written scope and clarify debris handling, access, slopes, tree work, recurring maintenance, and the distance from each structure.
- Ask for a written scope that identifies the specific materials, areas, or vegetation included.
- Confirm service-area availability, timing, insurance, and any license classification relevant to the proposed work.
- Compare more than one provider when project size, safety, permitting, or cost warrants it.
