Tree Care in Riva, MD

If you're looking at the trees in your Riva yard and feeling uneasy, there's a good reason. Many of the mature trees here were planted when these neighborhoods were built in the 1980s. Builders often chose fast-growing species for quick shade and curb appeal, which means you're now living with their consequences. You'll see a lot of silver maples, known for their aggressive surface roots that can damage foundations and their weak wood that shatters in storms. You'll also see Bradford pears, which are beautiful for about 15 years before their poor branch structure guarantees a major split. My job is to help you manage these inherited problems before they manage you.
