Serving NorCal
Shingle Springs is the kind of place where the driveways are long, the lots are measured in acres, and the vegetation goes from knee-high grassland to head-high manzanita within fifty feet of each other. The Highway 50 frontage has some commercial activity, but most of our Shingle Springs work is on rural residential parcels in the surrounding oak woodland. The manzanita and ceanothus mix here carries a high fuel load and dries out completely by late summer — defensible space work is the bulk of what we do in this community. El Dorado County has some of the most actively enforced fire safety regulations in the state.

Frequently asked questions
How much does manzanita and oak clearing cost in Shingle Springs?
Dense manzanita and oak-understory clearing in Shingle Springs runs $3,000–$10,000 per acre depending on density, slopes, and access. Manzanita in particular is slow to clear mechanically. We price by the job after walking the site — per-acre estimates are a starting point only. El Dorado County at edcgov.us handles grading permits.
Who issues permits for Shingle Springs rural parcels?
Shingle Springs is unincorporated El Dorado County. Demolition, building, and grading permits come from El Dorado County Building and Safety at edcgov.us. We coordinate required permits for our scope.
Can you prep a pad for a barn or workshop on a Shingle Springs acreage parcel?
Yes. Rural outbuilding pad prep is a regular part of our El Dorado County work. We clear the vegetation, rough grade the pad to your plans, and compact subgrade. Private well and septic setback coordination is standard on Shingle Springs parcels — we request records before breaking ground.
