Tree Care in Lemon Grove, CA

If you're looking at a mature tree in your Lemon Grove yard, you're likely looking at a decision made in the 1960s or 70s. Builders back then often chose fast-growing trees for quick shade and curb appeal, but many of those choices are now problems. You'll see massive Ficus trees with roots cracking driveways, or brittle Mexican Fan Palms that drop heavy fronds. The real issue is that these trees were planted for a landscape that doesn't exist anymore. Your lawn sprinklers, running for 15 minutes a day, are actually harming these mature trees by encouraging shallow, weak roots instead of the deep, stable system they need to survive our droughts and occasional Santa Ana winds.
