Tree Care in Morada, CA

If you're looking at the trees in your Morada yard and wondering why they're struggling, you're not alone. Most problems we see here trace back to the original landscaping choices made when these homes were built. Builders in the 1970s often planted fast-growing species like Ficus or Eucalyptus for quick shade, but these trees have shallow, aggressive roots that damage foundations and pavement. They're also poorly suited to our 9b hardiness zone and the long, dry summers. Your native trees, like the Coast Live Oak or California Sycamore, are far better adapted to our 18 inches of annual rainfall and clay soils, but they often suffer from being planted too close to the house or irrigated incorrectly.
