Gold Run sits high in the Placer County foothills along Interstate 80, where Gold Rush miners once washed away whole hillsides with hydraulic hoses and left behind the eroded cliffs still visible at the Gold Run Diggings. Carefree Tree Care provides lawn care among the tall pines and cedars that now shade this quiet mountain community. Spring arrives late and fast at this elevation, and lawns need mowing, trimming and a good clearing of the needles and duff that collect over winter. A clean yard set against the dark green of the forest has a bright, open feel. The work keeps that small clearing in the woods looking intentional.
