Tree Care in Burlingame, CA

If you're looking at the trees in your Burlingame yard, you're likely seeing the legacy of a landscaping decision made in the 1950s or 60s. Many of the original builders chose fast-growing trees for quick shade and curb appeal, not for a 70-year lifespan. That's why you'll see mature Monterey Pines, which are prone to failure in our storms, and Blue Gum Eucalyptus, known for dropping heavy limbs. The problem is you can't see inside a tree from the outside. A tree can look full and green while decay is hollowing out its core for years before it shows any external sign of trouble.
