Tree Care in Monte Sereno, CA

If you're looking at the trees in your Monte Sereno yard, you're likely seeing the legacy of a choice made when your home was built. In the 1960s and 80s, builders often planted fast-growing trees for quick shade and curb appeal. That's why you see so many mature Monterey Pines and Blue Gum Eucalyptus here. These species have shallow root systems and weak wood, which is a major concern with our 3.6 annual storm events. The real issue is that you can't see inside a tree from the outside. A tree that looks healthy can have years of internal decay, and by the time a branch cracks, the problem is often advanced. This is why professional assessment is critical for safety.
