Sacramento-Specific Notes
Sacramento's City Urban Forest program protects heritage oaks and certain other species. Before removing any oak over 12" in diameter, check with the city's Urban Forestry office. Stump grinding after a permitted oak removal is allowed, but doing it without a permit carries significant fines.
Sacramento's hot, dry summers and mild winters allow year-round grinding. Peak demand is spring (February–April) as winter storms create backlogged removal work.
