Tree Care in Allenwood, NJ

If you're looking at the trees in your Allenwood yard, you're likely seeing the legacy of the 1960s building boom. Many homes here were built around 1963, and the trees planted then are now mature, around 63 years old. Builders often chose fast-growing species for quick shade and curb appeal. That's why we see so many silver maples, known for their aggressive surface roots and weak, brittle wood, and Bradford pears, which are beautiful but structurally destined to split apart after 15-20 years. These trees were the right choice for a new development, but they're often the wrong tree for the long-term safety and health of your property. Now, decades later, we're dealing with the consequences as these trees reach the end of their natural lifespan in our residential landscapes.
