Tree Care in Atlantic Highlands, NJ

If you're looking at the trees in your Atlantic Highlands yard and wondering about their health, you're not alone. Most of our residential trees here were planted when these neighborhoods were built in the 1960s, which means they're now 60 to 80 years old and entering a critical phase. Builders back then often chose fast-growing species like silver maple for quick shade and Norway maple for their hardiness. The problem is that silver maple has notoriously weak wood and aggressive surface roots, while Norway maples create such dense shade that nothing grows beneath them, including your lawn. These trees are now mature, and the structural weaknesses planted decades ago are becoming apparent.
