Tree Care in Carrboro, NC

If you're looking at the trees in your Carrboro yard and feeling uneasy, you're not imagining things. Many of the problems you see today were planted decades ago. When these neighborhoods were built up in the 80s and 90s, builders often used fast-growing trees for quick shade and curb appeal. That's why you see so many mature Bradford pears, which are beautiful but structurally guaranteed to split after 15-20 years, and silver maples with aggressive surface roots that can damage walkways. In our mixed-humid climate with 48 inches of annual rain and 13 storm events a year, these inherent weaknesses become real liabilities. A professional assessment looks beyond the leaves to evaluate the structure and root health of these legacy trees, determining if they are an asset or a risk to your property.
