Tree Care in Vandenberg Village, CA

If you're looking at the trees in your Vandenberg Village yard, you're likely seeing the legacy of the 1970s. Builders back then often chose fast-growing species for quick shade and curb appeal. That's why we see so many mature Monterey Pines and Blue Gum Eucalyptus here now. These trees are about 56 years old, and that's when their inherent problems become liabilities. Monterey Pines are prone to breakage in our occasional coastal winds, and eucalyptus trees have aggressive surface roots that can damage hardscapes and are highly flammable. The other major issue is irrigation. The daily lawn sprinkler cycle is the worst thing for these mature trees. It encourages shallow roots when they need deep, infrequent water to survive our high drought risk. Your trees are trying to survive on a lawn's watering schedule, and it stresses them.
