Tree Care in Asbury, NJ

If you're looking at a large, mature tree in your Asbury yard, there's a good chance it was planted around the time your home was built, roughly 88 years ago. Builders in the 1930s often chose fast-growing trees for quick shade and curb appeal. That's why we see so many silver maples and Norway maples here. Silver maples have weak wood and aggressive surface roots, while Norway maples are invasive and crowd out our native species like sugar maple and white oak. The problem is, you can't see inside a tree from the outside. Internal decay can be advanced for years before any external symptom, like a fungus or crack, appears.
