Tree Care in North Tustin, CA

If you're looking at the trees in your North Tustin yard, you're likely looking at problems planted decades ago. When these homes were built in the 1960s, builders often chose trees for speed, not longevity. That's why we see so many mature Ficus and Eucalyptus trees here now. Their aggressive roots damage foundations and sidewalks, and their brittle wood is a real hazard in our occasional wind events. The issue is that a tree can look perfectly healthy from the outside while rotting from the inside for years. We use simple tools like a mallet to sound the trunk, listening for the hollow thud of decay that you'd never see. It's a common story here, and it usually starts with the wrong tree in the wrong place.
