Tree Care in Lucas Valley-Marinwood, CA

If you're looking at the trees in your Lucas Valley-Marinwood yard, you're likely seeing the legacy of the original 1960s landscaping. Many of the homes here were built around 1962, which means the trees are now about 64 years old and entering a critical maturity phase. Builders often chose fast-growing species for quick shade and curb appeal, like the structurally weak Silver Maple or the doomed Bradford Pear, which is guaranteed to split after 15-20 years. These trees now have extensive root systems and large canopies that can conflict with homes and power lines. We also see many non-native problem species from that era, such as Blue Gum Eucalyptus and Monterey Pine, which are poorly suited to our long-term conditions and can become hazards.
