Tree Care in Moraga, CA

If you're a homeowner in Moraga, you're likely living with the landscaping decisions of the 1970s. Many of the trees on properties here are now about 54 years old, entering a critical maturity phase. Builders often chose fast-growing species for quick shade and curb appeal, like the notoriously weak-wooded Silver Maple or the structurally doomed Bradford Pear, which is almost guaranteed to split after 15-20 years. Today, that means mature Ficus trees are heaving sidewalks with their aggressive roots, and towering Blue Gum Eucalyptus are dropping heavy limbs in our occasional wind events. Understanding what was planted decades ago is the first step to managing your property's risks and value.
