Tree Care in Patterson Tract, CA

If you're a homeowner in Patterson Tract, your trees are likely about 32 years old, planted when the homes were built in the early 1990s. You'll see mature Coast Live Oaks and California Sycamores that have grown with the neighborhood. In our USDA Zone 9b climate, with only 10 inches of annual rain and very high drought risk, proper watering is the single most important thing you can do. The most common mistake I see is relying on a lawn sprinkler system that runs for 15 minutes every day. This only wets the top few inches of soil, encouraging your trees to develop shallow, weak roots instead of the deep, stable system they need to survive our dry spells. Trees here need deep, infrequent watering to thrive.
