Tree Care in Brookeville, MD

If you're looking at the trees around your Brookeville home and feeling uneasy, there's a good reason. Many of the large trees on properties here are reaching 80 to 90 years old, and a lot of the common problems we see today were planted decades ago. Builders and early homeowners often chose species for fast growth and quick shade, like silver maples and Bradford pears. These trees are now mature, and their inherent weaknesses are showing. Silver maples have notoriously weak wood and aggressive surface roots, while every Bradford pear is structurally destined to split. The local climate, with 41 inches of rain and nearly 50 storm events a year, puts constant pressure on these aging specimens.
