Tree Care in Lake Nacimiento, CA

Living at Lake Nacimiento, your trees are part of a specific, dry landscape. The native Coast Live Oaks and Valley Oaks on your property are adapted to our 15 inches of annual rainfall, but they struggle with common irrigation mistakes. The lawn sprinkler system that runs 15 minutes every day is the worst thing for these trees. It encourages shallow root development right at the surface, making them vulnerable to our high drought stress and summer heat. Your trees need deep, infrequent watering to send roots down where the soil stays cool and moist. This is especially critical for the non-native but common Monterey Pines and Eucalyptus trees here, which are poorly suited to our climate and become major liabilities when stressed.
