Tree Care in Santa Rosa Valley, CA

If you're looking at the trees in your Santa Rosa Valley yard and feeling concerned, you're not alone. Most of the homes here were built around 1985, which means the landscaping is now about 41 years old. That's the age when many common builder-planted trees, like the fast-growing but weak-wooded Silver Maple or the structurally doomed Bradford Pear, begin to show serious problems. Their roots can damage foundations, and their limbs become a real storm hazard in our 0.8 annual storm events. The good news is your mature native trees, like the Coast Live Oak or Valley Oak, are tremendous assets. They just need the right care, which starts with understanding that daily lawn sprinklers are the worst thing for them, encouraging shallow roots instead of the deep, drought-resistant systems they need.
