Tree Care in Rodeo, CA

If you're looking at mature trees in your Rodeo yard, you're likely seeing the legacy of home construction from the early 1970s. Many of the trees planted then, like fast-growing Ficus or Blue Gum Eucalyptus, are now 50-plus years old and showing their age. The problem is that builders often chose species for quick shade, not for our specific Warm-Dry climate and clay soils. Now, you're dealing with the consequences: aggressive surface roots from Ficus that crack pavement, or the brittle, dropping limbs of a mature Eucalyptus. These trees were set up for problems from the start. Your lawn's daily sprinkler cycle also harms them, encouraging weak, shallow roots when they need deep, infrequent water to survive our droughts.
