Tree Care in Fairfax, CA

If you're looking at a mature tree in your Fairfax yard, you're likely looking at a decision made in the 1950s. Builders back then often chose fast-growing species for quick shade and curb appeal, not for long-term health or structural integrity. That's why we see so many Monterey Pines, which are prone to storm failure in our wet winters, and Blue Gum Eucalyptus, with their invasive roots and heavy, dropping limbs. The problem is you can't see inside a tree from the outside. Decay can be well-established for years before any external symptom, like a mushroom or a crack, appears. That 80-year-old tree might look fine but be a significant liability.
