Tree Care in La Presa, CA

If you're looking at the trees in your La Presa yard and wondering what's wrong, you're not alone. Most of the problems we see here, from cracked sidewalks to sudden limb drop, started when the homes were built in the 1970s. Builders often planted fast-growing trees like Ficus or Blue Gum Eucalyptus for quick shade. These species have aggressive roots and weak wood, and after 50 years, they're now mature liabilities. The other major issue is water. Your lawn sprinklers that run for 15 minutes daily are actually harming your trees. They encourage shallow roots because the water never soaks deep, leaving trees vulnerable to our very high drought stress and unable to anchor properly during our six-plus storm events each year.
