Tree Care in Bell Canyon, CA

If you're looking at the trees in your Bell Canyon yard, you're likely seeing the legacy of the 1980s. When these homes were built, fast-growing species like Blue Gum Eucalyptus and Monterey Pine were popular for quick shade. Forty years later, those trees are mature and showing their problems. Eucalyptus drops heavy branches in our occasional wind events, and Monterey Pines are highly susceptible to bark beetles during drought. Many tree issues here trace back to that original choice of the wrong tree for the place. Your lawn's daily watering schedule is another common issue. It keeps tree roots shallow and weak because the water never soaks deep. Trees in our 16-inch rainfall climate need long, infrequent soaks to develop the deep roots that anchor them.
