Common Questions
How do you handle fence post instability and movement caused by dry soil in South Lake Tahoe?
Dry soil is a common issue around here, especially during summer months. For fence posts, I typically set them deeper than standard—often 36 to 48 inches—and use concrete or a gravel-and-compacted-soil mix designed to handle shifting. In areas with very dry, sandy soil, I may recommend augering post holes wider to increase surface area and stability. Every fence installation includes an on-site assessment of your specific soil conditions, so the posts stay solid through freeze-thaw cycles and drought.
What does your irrigation design and installation process include for a Lake Tahoe property?
Whether you need a new system from scratch or an upgrade to an existing one, I start with a site survey to map out sun exposure, plant types, and soil drainage—critical factors here at elevation. I design drip irrigation for beds and low-flow sprinklers for lawns to minimize water waste. Construction uses durable materials like poly pipe and brass heads that can handle winterizing. I also offer repair and maintenance services, so your system operates efficiently without wasting water.
Can you help with tree care, like pruning or stump removal, for properties near Heavenly or Stateline?
Absolutely. I provide full tree care services, including planting, pruning, trimming, cabling, bracing, and stump removal. With over 30 years of local experience, I understand the specific needs of conifers and aspens in the Tahoe Basin. For pruning, I focus on structural integrity and fire safety—especially important for homes near forested areas. Stump removal is done with a grinder, leaving the area ready for replanting or lawn repair.
