Tree Care in Larkspur, CA

If you're looking at the trees in your Larkspur yard and feeling a bit uneasy, you're not alone. Many of the problems we see here, from cracked driveways to sudden limb failure, started decades ago when your home was built. Builders in the 1970s often planted fast-growing trees for quick shade and curb appeal, without considering their long-term behavior in our specific Marin County climate. Two classic examples are the Blue Gum Eucalyptus, which drops massive limbs and is highly flammable, and the Monterey Pine, which is prone to catastrophic failure from pine pitch canker and our occasional strong winds. These trees are now 50-plus years old and entering a high-risk phase.
