Areas We Serve

 

Master Tree Care is based in West Sacramento at 3311 1st Street and serves the greater Sacramento region. Because good tree work depends on getting our crew and equipment to your property efficiently — and on giving you a fair, accurate price — we organize our service area into three travel tiers measured from our yard.

Tier 1 — Within 20 miles (our core area)

We handle jobs of any size here, from a single light trim to a large removal. This includes Sacramento, West Sacramento, Davis, Woodland, Carmichael, Rancho Cordova, Fair Oaks, Elk Grove, Citrus Heights, Orangevale, Roseville, and Dixon.

Tier 2 — 20 to 35 miles

We regularly work throughout this area as well. This includes Folsom, Rocklin, Granite Bay, Loomis, Lincoln, Galt, Winters, El Dorado Hills, Vacaville, and Auburn.

Tier 3 — 36 miles and beyond

We're glad to travel farther for the right project. At this distance we're best suited to larger jobs — full removals, multi-tree work, storm damage, or ongoing property care — where it makes sense to bring our crew and equipment the extra miles. For a smaller job like a single light trim that far out, we may not be your most cost-effective option, and we'll always tell you so honestly. Give us a call and we'll let you know if we're a good match.

Not sure which tier you're in? Just call 916-448-8733 and we'll let you know — and give you an honest answer about whether we're the right fit.

Tree Pruning

We prune the right branch, for the right reasons! At Master Tree Care, we shorten limbs enough to avoid large limb failure. Some Tree companies Prune trees improperly, leaving limbs to become too heavy, potentially causing damage to your property or worse.

Tree Removal

When we remove your tree, we try to upcycle to the best of our ability. For large tree’s in the front yard, we take the trunk to a mill, dry it, cut it, and sell it. With smaller wood, we cut it up into firewood and have a free pick up service where you can get firewood at our yard. We try to avoid using the landfills unless needed, upcycling is our goal.

Stump Grinding

When we grind stumps, we go down about 6-8 inches to avoid damage to the home’s water, gas, or electrical infrastructure. Water is about 12” deep, Gas is 18”, and Electrical is 24” down. Your safety and experience is our top priority.

Tree Planting

We plant a variety of trees in Sacramento valley. We believe you plant the right tree, in the right place. We do not plant trees under power lines to avoid future hazards for the property owner. If you want to Transplant your tree, plan December - January for the best results.

“The crew was extremely professional. They were here early and got right to business. When everything was done they left my yard cleaner than it was when they got here.

The estimate was very thorough and the estimate was honored. I had a very good experience and would highly recommend Master Tree Service to anyone that needs tree work done.
