Tree Care in Glenmont, MD

If you're looking at the trees in your Glenmont yard and feeling concerned, you're not alone. Most of the homes here were built in the 1970s, which means the trees are now 50 years old and entering a critical phase. The builders often chose fast-growing species for quick shade, like silver maple and Bradford pear. Silver maples have weak wood and aggressive surface roots that can damage foundations and sidewalks. Bradford pears are beautiful for about 15 years, but their branch structure is fundamentally flawed and they are almost guaranteed to split apart during one of our storms. We see this pattern consistently across Montgomery County. The good news is that with proactive care, many of these mature trees can be preserved and made safe, protecting your property's value and character.
