Tree Care in College City, CA

If you're looking at the trees in your College City yard and wondering why they're struggling, the answer likely goes back decades. Most homes here were built around 1944, and builders often planted fast-growing trees for quick shade and curb appeal. That's why you see so many mature Ficus and Blue Gum Eucalyptus trees in older neighborhoods. These species have aggressive root systems that damage foundations and sidewalks, and their weak wood makes them prone to splitting in our occasional, but powerful, wind storms. The real issue is that you can't see inside a tree from the outside. A tree that looks full and green can have significant internal decay that only becomes obvious when a major limb fails.
