Hello fellow Elk Grove home-owners! Can anyone give me a good recommendation for tree trimming services? Anyone you’re particularly pleased with, and also anyone to avoid.

Thanks so much!

July 2026 - how many of you guys still work hybrid/remote in the bay?

How many of you guys still work in the bay? If you’re hybrid, will you keep up with this long term? We love EG but can’t imagine the commute long term with SF job.

& most importantly, what’s your long term plan with limited remote options?

EGPD Fireworks watch!

After a week of working a fireworks booth in Galt we started our own home fireworks show with the neighbors. We have our dunk bucket and emergency hose at the ready.

it was only a few minutes before the EGPD Fireworks drone was overhead checking out our setup. We were quickly dismissed as in compliance and they moved on.

Alternative Parking for Elk Grove Park Fireworks

I’m looking to take my kids to see fireworks today and want to avoid the traffic and paying for parking in general. What are some good alternatives without having to walk super far?

Fireworks reminders

I know it is the 4th. And fireworks are a huge thing! But please use them SAFELY!!! It is still an explosive! And it can harm you!!

Additionally please be mindful of the combat verterans today. Fireworks may be a trigger for ptsd.

Others who may be sensitive to fireworks include victims of gun violence, individuals with photosensitive disabilities, babies, and animals.

I am sure i missed some sensitive groups but please be mindful and be safe.

Was there really a smog inspection happening on Bruceville/Whitelock and Bruceville/Elk Grove Blvd?

I saw a post from a couple days ago. They were “checking smog” certificates.

I assume they were doing this to get around DUI checkpoint laws. Just another way for them to harass people. Typically the less financially secure people.

As someone posted. They do require very specific requirements to make a DUI stop constitutional. Am I wrong to think this is a work around?

They say it’s voluntary. But I don’t believe it. And others say they were told it was not.

Did anyone else see this checkpoint or even went through it?

I would add pics of the post but. Any add photos.

Eye doctor for 3 year old

I’m having the hardest time finding an eye doctor in Elk Grove that serves young children. I’ve been taking my son to a doctor in Folsom, but I’d really like to be able to take him somewhere closer. Does anyone know of any offices that will do exams on toddlers and preschoolers?
