Tree Care in Glen Echo, MD

If you're looking at the trees in your Glen Echo yard and feeling uneasy, there's a good reason. Many of the large trees here were planted when these homes were built in the 1940s, and builders often chose species for fast growth, not longevity. You'll see a lot of silver maples, known for their aggressive surface roots that can damage foundations and sidewalks, and Norway maples, which crowd out our native oaks and beeches. After 80 years, these trees are mature, and the structural weaknesses bred into them are becoming liabilities. The most common tree problems we see don't start with a pest; they start with the wrong tree in the wrong place decades ago.
