Tree Care in East Rancho Dominguez, CA

If you're looking at the trees in your East Rancho Dominguez yard, you're likely seeing the legacy of the 1950s. Homes here were built for a growing population, and builders often planted fast-growing trees for quick shade and curb appeal. That's why you see so many mature Ficus and Eucalyptus trees in the neighborhood. These species were chosen because they grow quickly, but they have aggressive root systems that can damage foundations and sidewalks, and their wood can become brittle with age. The warm, dry climate of USDA Zone 10b means these trees have grown for nearly 75 years without a hard freeze, but our low annual rainfall of about 12 inches creates constant stress. This combination of age, species, and climate is why so many homeowners are now dealing with large, potentially hazardous trees.
