Tree Care in Sebastopol, CA

If you're looking at a large, mature tree in your Sebastopol yard, there's a good chance it was planted when your home was built, around 1975. That means many of our local trees are now about 51 years old and entering a critical phase in their lifespan. The most common issues we see, from cracked driveways to sudden limb failure, often trace back to the original planting choice. Builders decades ago favored fast-growing trees for quick shade and curb appeal, but species like the Monterey Pine or Blue Gum Eucalyptus can become significant liabilities as they mature, with weak wood, invasive roots, or high susceptibility to pests and storms specific to our Sonoma County climate.
