Landscaping Santa Rosa CA | Call Monarch Tree Services

Absolutely. While we specialize in trees, our comprehensive landscape maintenance and shrub care services directly address these common local lawn issues. Dead or overwatered turf areas are often caused by underlying problems with nearby trees or shrubs, such as improper watering, root competition, or disease. We can assess your entire landscape, manage the health of your trees and shrubs to reduce water competition and improve sunlight, and provide guidance on creating a more balanced and drought-resilient yard suited for our Santa Rosa climate.

Our disease management is a diagnostic and treatment process specific to the common pathogens in our region, like Sudden Oak Death or various fungal issues. First, our arborists conduct a thorough inspection to identify the disease and its cause. We then develop a tailored plan, which may include environmentally responsible treatments, strategic pruning to remove infected material, and cultural recommendations like adjusting irrigation to improve the tree's natural defenses. Our goal is always to preserve the tree's health and structural integrity whenever possible.

Cabling or bracing is a preservation technique used to provide structural support to trees with weak limbs or multiple trunks (codominant stems), which are common in older oaks and other mature trees in Santa Rosa. It's a proactive measure to reduce the risk of branch failure during our windy seasons or under heavy loads. Our arborists assess the tree's structure and health to determine if cabling is a viable long-term solution. When correctly installed, it can significantly extend the life of a valuable or historic tree, allowing it to remain a safe and beautiful part of your landscape.
