Tree Care in Centerville CDP (Fresno County), CA

If you're looking at the trees in your Centerville yard and wondering why they're struggling, you're not alone. Most problems I see here trace back to the original landscaping choices made when these homes were built. Builders in the 1960s and 70s often planted fast-growing, non-native trees for quick shade and curb appeal. That's why we see so many Ficus and Blue Gum Eucalyptus trees on properties today. These species have aggressive root systems that damage sidewalks and foundations, and their brittle wood is a real hazard in our wind events. The other major issue is water. Running your lawn sprinklers for 15 minutes every day is the worst thing for a mature tree. It encourages shallow roots right at the surface instead of the deep, stable root system a tree needs to survive our droughts and heat.
