Tree Care in Mission Hills, CA

Mission Hills, your mature trees are a defining feature of the neighborhood, but many are now reaching critical ages. The coast live oaks and valley oaks planted when these homes were built are magnificent assets, yet they face specific threats here. The most common problems I see don't start today. They began 50 years ago when builders chose trees for quick shade without considering their mature size or water needs. Many of your trees, like the fast-growing but problematic eucalyptus, are now too large for their lots, with roots impacting foundations and canopies threatening roofs. Your lawn's daily sprinkler cycle is another major issue, encouraging shallow roots that make trees unstable during our rare but intense wind events.
