Tree Care in Lake Arrowhead, CA

If you're a homeowner in Lake Arrowhead, you're likely living with trees planted when your house was built in the 1970s. Builders back then often chose fast-growing species for quick shade and curb appeal, but many of those choices are now mature liabilities. You'll see this with Ficus trees, whose aggressive roots can damage foundations, and Blue Gum Eucalyptus, which are prone to dropping heavy limbs in our wind events. The most common issue I see isn't a pest, but watering. The daily lawn sprinkler cycle is the worst thing for a mature tree, encouraging shallow roots that can't withstand our very high drought risk. Your native Coast Live Oaks and California Sycamores need deep, infrequent soaking to thrive.
