Tree Care in Hartley, CA

If you're looking at the trees in your Hartley yard and wondering what to do, you're not alone. Most of the problems I see here trace back to the original landscaping choices made when these homes were built. Builders in the 1980s often planted fast-growing trees for quick shade and curb appeal, but many of those species are now mature liabilities. You'll see this with Ficus trees, whose aggressive roots can damage foundations and sidewalks, and with Blue Gum Eucalyptus, which drop heavy limbs in our summer heat and are highly flammable. The good news is your property also likely has valuable, well-adapted natives like the majestic Coast Live Oak, which, with proper care, can be an asset for generations.
