​It has long since been the social responsibility of the city to attend to health and wellbeing of its citizenry – especially in public.  Palms were planted almost a 100 years ago all over Los Angeles and San Diego; awnings have taken their place as the primary source of man made shade since the beautiful San Diego skyline developed over the years.  

The only kind of trees that provide shade are the ones with the large canopy.  The problem with those kinds of trees is two-fold even before the cost of maintenance. They take forever to grow into the maturity to provide shade and two their root structures closely proximate the plumage above ground which makes them terribly invasive to underground plumbing, civic plumbing and the foundations of buildings.  Backyard patio-shade, however, is not limited to the canopy of trees. La Mesa awnings, Serra Mesa retractable patio cover awnings, El Cajon awning installation and Bankers Hill fast awning repair estimate all have the same common denominator - shade.  

Awnings, comparatively, have nearly no maintenance cost, provide shade as soon as they’re installed and quality awnings last for generations.  Clairmont awnings don’t have roots that can explode concrete sidewalks.  Kearny Mesa awnings don’t need to be watered or fertilized or trimmed or treated for pests. 

The number of people who are spending large amounts of time outdoors, public transportation, long lines at the DMV and a host of other reasons have a tremendous number of people outside exposed to the intense southern California sunshine. 

Global warming has made it even more challenging to maintain trees.  Global warming has absolutely no effect on Old Town San Diego awnings.  Cities all over San Diego County have too few trees with San Diego County canopies to accommodate the numbers of people who populate the streets on any given sunny day.
