Tree Care in Brookside, NJ

If you're looking at the trees in your Brookside yard and feeling uneasy, there's a good reason. Many of the mature trees here were planted when these homes were built in the 1960s, and builders often chose species for fast growth, not long-term stability. You'll see this with the silver maples, known for their aggressive surface roots that can damage foundations and sidewalks, and the Bradford pears, which are beautiful but structurally guaranteed to split after 15-20 years. In our cool-humid Morris County climate with over 49 inches of annual rain, these inherent weaknesses are put to the test during our 21 average storm events each year. The good news is that native species like your red oaks and sugar maples are far better suited to handle Brookside's conditions, from our 20-degree winter lows to the summer humidity.
