Tree Care in San Rafael, CA

If you're dealing with tree problems in San Rafael, there's a good chance the issue started decades ago. Many of the mature trees in our neighborhoods were planted when these homes were built, around 1967. Builders often chose fast-growing species for quick shade and curb appeal, without considering their long-term behavior in our warm-marine climate. That's why you see so many struggling Monterey Pines, which are prone to disease and failure here, or invasive Blue Gum Eucalyptus with their heavy limb drop. A tree planted 59 years ago is now a mature asset or a significant liability, depending on what species it is and how it was placed.
