Tree Care in Crofton, MD

Crofton, your trees are at a specific point in their life. Most of the neighborhoods here were built in the late 1980s, which means your canopy is about 37 years old. This is when trees like your mature Red Oaks and Sugar Maples transition from young growth into full maturity, and the structural weaknesses from their youth start to show. In our USDA 7b climate, with over 26 storm events a year, these weaknesses matter. A common failure I see here is from included bark, where two major limbs grow too closely together. When a sustained wind from a nor'easter is followed by a sudden shift, that weak union can fail, dropping a large limb on your roof. Proactive pruning now addresses these faults before the next big storm does.
