Tree Care in Alhambra Valley, CA

If you're looking at the trees around your Alhambra Valley home, you're likely seeing the legacy of the early 1970s. That's when many homes here were built, and the landscaping choices made then are showing their age now. Builders often planted fast-growing trees for quick shade, like silver maples or Bradford pears, without considering their long-term health or structural weaknesses. Today, those trees are 50-plus years old and facing our specific challenges: only about 19 inches of annual rain, high drought stress, and pests like the invasive shot hole borer. The most common issues I see, from cracked driveways to sudden limb drop, usually trace back to a simple fact: the wrong tree was planted in the wrong place decades ago.
