Snow country, and why Pollock Pines needs a tree service

Pollock Pines sits at about 3,980 feet in the Sierra Nevada. That's high enough for real winters. NOAA numbers show about 63.4 inches of snow in a normal year, over roughly 17 snowy days.

Snow isn't the only worry for trees in Pollock Pines. The same table shows close to 48.58 inches of rain and melted snow a year. Soaked ground and a heavy load on the branches is a hard mix for a tall tree.

Down in Placerville, snow is rare. That Placerville record adds a note: the mountains east of town often get big dumps. That's you. So a lot of people in Placerville don't know what a wet snowfall can do to a pine.

The US Forest Service tells hikers to be extra watchful after a snowstorm, when branches are covered with snow. Firs and pines shed snow well, but the top is the weak spot. Once a top breaks and hangs, the tree can drop it with no warning, and a tree service has to bring it down.

Ice is the other one. The weather service says freezing rain coats trees and power lines with ice. At about a quarter inch of ice, it says to expect snapped lines and falling branches.

One more thing. Heavy snow may have knocked down power lines and caused gas leaks, the weather service warns. Both can be deadly and neither is easy to spot. So go slow after a storm.

Fire left its mark on Pollock Pines trees too

Caldor began on August 14, 2021, at Little Mountain, a little south of town. It burned 221,835 acres. On August 17, evacuations were ordered for Pollock Pines, Grizzly Flats, Somerset and Sly Park Reservoir.

The King Fire came first, in 2014. It started September 13 near Pollock Pines and burned 97,717 acres.

Burned trees don't always fall right away. Some stand for years and get weaker. A dead pine beside a cabin can drop in the next hard wind or the next big snow.

What a tree service costs in Pollock Pines

A big bill with no warning is no fun. These ranges come from published cost guides, and none is a quote. The tree service names the cost before a single cut.

Sources: the Fixr removal cost guide, and Today's Homeowner for Sacramento. Both fetched November 2026.

Some tree companies add an emergency fee. A Thumbtack guide has seen it hit $250 an hour. Ask about it up front.

The tall pines in Pollock Pines can land in the top rows. A tree over a cabin roof costs more than one in an open yard. A steep or snowy driveway can add time.

If a tree hits the house

Call your insurance company first. Consumer Reports passes along an industry figure: removal payouts usually stop at $500 or $1,000. Repairs to the damaged part of the house may be covered separately.

If a neighbor's tree falls on your house, it's still your claim to file. Your own insurer is the one to call.

Help paying for a tree service in Pollock Pines

There's a local nonprofit, the Fire Safe Council, with a program for hazardous trees. The trees must stand within 100 feet of the house and be dead, sick or beetle-ridden. It will cover as much as $4,000 of removal and chipping.

In November 2026 sign-ups were shut while the group waited on new grant money. It's still worth a call to ask.
