Tree Care in San Pasqual, CA

If you're looking at the trees in your San Pasqual yard, you're likely seeing the legacy of landscaping choices made when your home was built. Many of the 80-year-old properties here were planted with fast-growing species for quick shade, like silver maples with their brittle wood or Bradford pears that are structurally destined to split. The challenge now is that these mature trees are in a climate they weren't bred for, facing our high drought risk and 20 inches of annual rain. You can't see inside a tree from the outside. A canopy that looks full might be hiding years of internal decay, a problem that often starts with the shallow roots caused by daily lawn sprinklers. Trees here need deep, infrequent watering to survive our dry spells, not the frequent sprinkling that keeps grass green.
