Tree Care in Ripon, CA

If you're a homeowner in Ripon, you're likely living with trees that are about 31 years old, planted when these neighborhoods were built in the mid-1990s. You'll see mature Coast Live Oaks and California Sycamores that have grown with the community. The biggest mistake I see here is watering. The lawn sprinkler system that runs 15 minutes every day is the worst thing for your trees. It encourages shallow roots because the water never penetrates past the top few inches. In our warm, dry climate with only 13 inches of annual rain, your trees need deep, infrequent watering to survive droughts and develop the strong, deep root systems they need to stand up to our occasional high winds.
