Tree Care in Rolling Hills, CA

If you're looking at the trees in your Rolling Hills yard, you're likely seeing the legacy of the 1970s. When these homes were built, builders often chose trees for fast growth, not for our specific climate. That's why we see so many Ficus and Blue Gum Eucalyptus here. They grew quickly for that instant landscape, but now, at about 50 years old, they're showing their problems. Ficus roots are notorious for damaging patios and foundations, and mature Eucalyptus are prone to dropping heavy limbs, especially with our 4 major storm events a year. In contrast, the native trees planted back then, like the Coast Live Oak and California Sycamore, have generally fared much better. They're adapted to our 14.7 inches of annual rainfall and summer heat.
