Tree Care in Birchwood Village, MN

Birchwood Village, your mature tree canopy is a defining feature of the neighborhood, but it's also at a critical age. Many of the trees planted when these homes were built in the early 1970s are now 50 to 55 years old and entering a phase of higher risk. You'll see this in the large silver maples, chosen for their fast growth, which now have weak wood and surface roots that threaten foundations and sidewalks. Your native bur oaks and sugar maples are better suited, but even they need assessment for structural issues developed over decades. The most common problems I see here aren't mysterious. They're the predictable result of the wrong tree planted in the wrong place, a decision made half a century ago that homeowners now inherit.
