Shingle Springs is a small community strung along Highway 50 in the Gold Country foothills of El Dorado County. It is smaller and more spread out than the bigger El Dorado County towns nearby, and the houses reflect that: more land around each one, longer driveways, and older homes next to newer custom builds rather than one subdivision style.
The trees are what set the work apart from the valley floor. Oaks and pines drop debris all year, not in one autumn burst, and in the dry season a layer of dust lands on top of it. That shows up in a few predictable places:
- Gutters and downspouts, where pine needles mat down and block drainage.
- Window tracks, sills and entry floors, where debris blows in or gets walked in.
- Roofs under heavy shade, which give moss a foothold.
- Driveways, decks and patios, which simply cover more ground on a bigger lot.
Indoors, a spread-out property usually means more square footage per visit, sometimes over more than one level, and more storage and outbuildings when it comes to organizing or a cleanout.
