Regarding: DeAnza Oaks Arborist Report
I have inspected 3 trees that DeAnza Oaks Home Owners Association is reyuesting a permit to
remove.
• 1 Modesto ash— 13 inches in diameter good condition
• 1 Liquidambar 15 inches in diameter— good condition
� 1 Aleppo pine— 27 inches in diameter— fair condition
Tree #1, the Modesto ash, is located in the grass area in front of 22851 Longdown. This tree
species has a very aggressive root system. The roots from this tree have raised and cracked the
driveway in several places and much of the driveway has needed to be replaced. Unfortunately
there are some deeper roots that still exist and are causing the concrete in the garage to be
raised. The garage doar does not close correctly because of the raised concrete. I do not think
root barrier is an option as too much of the root system would need to be cut and the tree would
decline and die. I recommend removing the cree at�d replacing with a more suitable tree for the
area.
Tree #2, the Liquidambar, is located in back of 1009$ Ridgeway. lt is between a walkway and
the patio. This tree also has a very aggressive root system. The walkway is being lifted in
several places and the patio is being damaged by the roots as we11. Roat barrier is not an option
in this location as a large percentage of the root system would need to be cut causing decline af
the tree. I recommend removing this tree and replanting in a different location.
Tree#3, the Aleppo pine, is located in back of 1 Q106 Lamplighter. It is also between a
walkway and a patio. The tree is in decline showing chlorotic foliage, tip dieback and the new
growth is stunted and sparse. 1 do not think this tree wi�l recover. 1 recommend removing this
tree and replanting in a different location.
