Tree Care in Chester, MD

In Chester, your mature trees are likely around 34 years old, planted when these neighborhoods were built in the early 1990s. That means your native Red Oaks and Sugar Maples are entering a critical stage. They're large enough to provide significant shade and value, but also large enough to cause serious damage if a major limb fails. Our mixed-humid climate brings over 46 inches of rain annually, which saturates our clay-heavy soils. When a summer thunderstorm brings sustained winds followed by a sudden shift, it fatigues the root system. That's the most common condition for uprooting a mature tree here, especially for shallow-rooted species like the commonly planted Silver Maple.
