Tree Care in Winchester, CA

If you're a homeowner in Winchester, you're likely dealing with trees that are about 34 years old, planted when these neighborhoods were built in the early 1990s. You'll see mature Coast Live Oaks and California Sycamores, which are well-suited to our warm, dry climate. You also might have some problematic trees from that era, like Ficus or Blue Gum Eucalyptus, which can cause serious issues. One of the most common mistakes I see is irrigation. The lawn sprinkler system that runs for 15 minutes every day is the worst thing for your trees. It encourages shallow roots because the water never penetrates past the top few inches. Your trees need deep, infrequent watering to survive our droughts and develop strong, stable root systems.
