Tree Care in Morgan Hill, CA

If you're a homeowner in Morgan Hill, you're likely looking at trees that were planted when your house was built, around 1988. That means your Coast Live Oak or Valley Oak is now about 38 years old and entering a critical maturity phase. In our warm-marine climate with only 20 inches of annual rain, proper watering is the single most important thing you can do. The lawn sprinkler system that runs 15 minutes every day is the worst thing for these trees. It encourages shallow roots because the water never penetrates past the top few inches. Your mature trees need deep, infrequent watering to survive our frequent droughts and develop the strong, deep root systems that anchor them during our 3-4 annual storm events.
