Tree Care in Templeton, CA

In Templeton, your mature trees are likely around 33 years old, planted when these neighborhoods were built in the early 1990s. That means your native Coast Live Oaks and Valley Oaks are now well-established, but also entering a stage where they need specific care. The biggest mistake I see here is irrigation. The lawn sprinkler system that runs 15 minutes every day is the worst thing for these trees. It encourages shallow roots in our drought-prone climate. Your oaks and other deep-rooted species need infrequent, deep watering to survive our long, dry summers and only 15 inches of annual rain. Proper care now protects your investment and prevents major issues later.
