Tree Care in Aliso Viejo, CA

Your trees in Aliso Viejo are now about 32 years old, the same age as most of the homes built here in the mid-90s. That means your Coast Live Oaks and California Sycamores are entering a critical maturity phase where proper care is essential. The biggest mistake I see here is irrigation. The lawn sprinkler system that runs for 15 minutes every day is the worst thing for your trees. It encourages shallow, weak roots because the water never penetrates past the top few inches of our clay-heavy soil. In our warm, dry climate with only 12 inches of rain a year, your trees need deep, infrequent watering to survive droughts and stay anchored during our occasional wind events.
