Tree Care in Allendale, NJ

If you're looking at the trees in your Allendale yard and wondering about their health, you're not alone. Most of the mature trees here were planted when these homes were built in the 1960s, and many are now the wrong tree in the wrong place. You'll see this with silver maples, whose fast growth led to weak wood and surface roots that can damage walkways, and Bradford pears, which are beautiful but structurally guaranteed to split apart after 15 to 20 years. These issues aren't always obvious from the outside. Internal decay can be active for years before a cavity or crack appears. That's why we use tools like sounding with a mallet to listen for the dull thud of rot inside what looks like a solid trunk.
