Tree Care in Pleasant Hill, CA

If you're looking at the trees in your Pleasant Hill yard, you're likely seeing the legacy of the early 1970s. That's when most of the homes here were built, and the landscaping choices made then are now mature trees with mature problems. Builders often planted fast-growing trees for quick shade, like silver maples with weak wood or Bradford pears that are guaranteed to split. Today, you're left managing 50-year-old specimens that might be outgrowing their space or showing structural flaws. We also see a lot of non-native problem species from that era, such as Ficus trees with destructive surface roots or thirsty Eucalyptus, which are poorly suited to our 17 inches of annual rainfall and high drought risk.
