Tree Care in Walnut, CA

Walnut's mature trees are a defining feature of your neighborhood, but many are now at a critical age. The coast live oaks and California sycamores planted when these homes were built are reaching full size, and their needs have changed. The most common issue I see here isn't a pest, it's a watering schedule. Your lawn's daily sprinkler cycle encourages trees to develop shallow, weak roots in the top few inches of soil. Trees in our climate need deep, infrequent soaking to anchor themselves and survive drought. This is especially vital for your native oaks, which are highly susceptible to diseases like Sudden Oak Death when stressed by improper irrigation.
