Caliche, the hard limestone layer common in San Antonio soil, affects how trees grow and thrive. Trees that hit caliche develop shallow root systems, making them more vulnerable to drought, wind, and stress. Understanding your soil helps ensure tree success and long-term health.
Texas Tree Authority's ISA-certified arborists assess San Antonio properties and recommend tree species and care strategies suited to caliche-heavy soil. Whether you're planning new plantings or caring for existing trees, our expertise helps your landscape succeed in our unique climate.
