Tree Care in Deerfield, IL

If you're looking at the trees in your Deerfield yard and feeling uneasy, there's a good reason. Many of the mature trees here, like the silver maples and Bradford pears, were planted when these homes were built in the late 1960s and 70s. Builders chose them for fast growth and instant shade, but they come with built-in problems. Silver maples have weak wood and aggressive surface roots that can damage foundations and sidewalks. Bradford pears are practically guaranteed to split at their weak branch unions after 15 to 20 years. Now, at over 50 years old, these trees are entering a high-risk phase where storm damage and structural failure become much more likely.
