Tree Care in Bonita, CA

If you're looking at the trees in your Bonita yard and wondering why they're struggling, you're not alone. Most of our residential tree problems started decades ago when builders planted fast-growing species for quick shade. That beautiful Ficus or towering Eucalyptus you might have was chosen for speed, not for our warm, dry climate or the long-term health of your property. These trees now have aggressive roots that damage foundations and sidewalks, or weak wood that can't handle our occasional heavy winds. The other major issue is how we water. Running your lawn sprinklers for 15 minutes every day is one of the worst things you can do for a mature tree. It encourages shallow roots that can't support the tree or find water during our long droughts. Trees need deep, infrequent soaking to thrive here.
