Tree Care in Sisquoc, CA

If you're in Sisquoc, you're likely living with trees planted when your home was built, around 1942. That means you have 80-year-old specimens that are now mature. Many of the problems we see today, like cracked driveways or sudden limb drop, started decades ago when builders chose trees for quick growth, not long-term stability. You'll see this with non-native species like Blue Gum Eucalyptus, which can become dangerously heavy and brittle, and Monterey Pine, which is poorly adapted to our low rainfall and high drought stress. A lawn sprinkler system that runs for 15 minutes daily is one of the worst things for these trees, as it encourages shallow roots that can't support a large canopy or access deep water during our dry spells.
