Tree Care in Libertytown, MD

If you're looking at the trees around your Libertytown home, you're likely seeing the legacy of the early 1970s. That's when many of our neighborhoods were built, and builders often chose fast-growing trees for quick shade and curb appeal. Two species they used heavily were silver maple and Bradford pear. We're now 50-plus years into that decision. Silver maples have weak wood and aggressive surface roots that can damage foundations and sidewalks. Bradford pears are beautiful for about 15-20 years, but their branch structure is fundamentally flawed and they are almost guaranteed to split apart during a storm. These aren't maintenance issues; they are design flaws planted decades ago.
