Tree Care in Lagunitas-Forest Knolls, CA

If you're looking at the mature trees around your Lagunitas-Forest Knolls home, you're seeing the landscaping choices made when these houses were built. Back in the 1940s and 50s, builders often planted fast-growing species like Monterey Pine and Blue Gum Eucalyptus for quick shade and curb appeal. The problem is that many of these trees, now 70-80 years old, have inherent weaknesses. Monterey pines are prone to failure in our occasional storms, and eucalyptus trees drop heavy limbs without warning. You can't see inside a tree from the outside, and the external signs of stress often appear years after internal decay has started. That's why a professional assessment is critical for the native giants, too, like your Coast Live Oaks and Coast Redwoods, which face serious pest threats here.
