Tree Care in Tano Road, NM

If you're a homeowner on Tano Road, your trees are likely about 28 years old, planted when the homes went up around 1998. That means your Blue Palo Verde or Desert Willow is entering a critical maturity phase. In our cool-dry climate with only 14.7 inches of rain, the biggest threat I see is your irrigation schedule. The lawn sprinkler system that runs 15 minutes every day is the worst thing for these trees. It encourages shallow roots because the water never penetrates past the top few inches. Your native trees need deep, infrequent watering to survive our very high drought risk and develop the strong root systems they need to stand up to our 8 or 9 annual storm events.
