Tree Care in Clinton, NJ

If you're looking at the trees in your Clinton yard and wondering about their health, you're not alone. Many of the mature trees here, like the silver maples and Norway maples, are reaching a critical age of 55 to 60 years. These were popular choices when neighborhoods were built up in the 70s because they grew fast. The problem is that fast growth often means weak wood and shallow roots, which become a real liability during our Hunterdon County storms. We get over 15 significant storm events a year, and sustained winds followed by a sudden shift can fatigue these older trees, leading to branch failure or uprooting, especially when our clay soils are saturated from 51 inches of annual rain.
