Your Local Landscaper in Cascade Shores

Cascade Shores is up above Scotts Flat, about fifteen minutes east of Nevada City on Red Dog and Quaker Hill. It is the highest ground we work regularly, sitting around the 3,000 foot mark, and it is thick timber the whole way in.

Roof blowing and gutter clearing, which up here is the job most properties need most, full yard cleanups, defensible space and ladder fuel work back from the house and the deck, brush clearing, pruning, sprinkler and dripline repairs, planting, and debris hauled out in our own trailers. Winter maintenance matters more at this elevation than anywhere else on our list, so sprinkler blowouts and gutter clearing get done before the weather turns rather than after. We run a 12 inch chipper and 10ft and 20ft dump trailers, so brush and debris leave with us the same day instead of sitting in a pile for a week.

What Cascade Shores Properties Deal With

Dense pine and fir at elevation, which produces a needle load that has to be seen to be believed. Roofs pack, gutters pack, and the litter that builds up against a deck or a foundation over one season is genuinely the fuel problem up here. Add a short shoulder season, because the ground stays wet late in spring and the weather closes in early in fall, and the window for getting work done is narrower than it is down the hill.

Common Questions From Cascade Shores

Do you work in Cascade Shores?

Yes. Cascade Shores is about fifteen minutes from our Nevada City base and we work it regularly. Call (530) 210-3990.

What services do you offer in Cascade Shores?

Full yard cleanups, fire defense and defensible space clearing, irrigation and sprinkler installs and repairs, landscaping and planting, debris removal and dump runs, pruning and hedging, mowing and grounds maintenance, roof blowing and gutter cleaning, sod and grass repair, and winter maintenance.

How often should a Cascade Shores roof be blown off?

At this elevation and under this much timber, twice a year is the floor and three times is not excessive. The needle mat holds water, rots the roof under it, and packs the gutters solid. Getting it off before the rain is the pass that matters most.

Do you do defensible space clearing at this elevation?

Yes, and it is a big share of the work here. Ladder fuels cut out, limbs raised, brush pulled back off the structure, and needle litter cleared out of the first few feet around the house and under the deck, which is where it collects worst.

When should sprinklers get winterized up here?

Earlier than people expect. The cold arrives sooner at this elevation than it does in Nevada City, so we would rather blow a system out a few weeks early than get called about a split line in December.
