Tree Care in Beverly Hills, MI

If you're looking at the trees in your Beverly Hills yard and feeling uneasy, you're not imagining things. Many of the mature trees here, like silver maples and Siberian elms, are approaching a critical age. They were often planted by builders in the 1960s for quick shade, not for a safe 80-year lifespan. Silver maples have notoriously weak wood and aggressive surface roots that can damage foundations and sidewalks. Siberian elms are brittle and drop branches constantly. The real issue is that you can't see inside a tree from the outside. Internal decay can be advanced for years before a crack or fungus appears. We use simple tools like a mallet to sound the trunk; solid wood rings clear, while decayed wood sounds dull, giving us a critical early warning.
