Tree Care in Cranbury, NJ

If you're looking at the trees in your Cranbury yard and wondering about their health, you're likely seeing the legacy of landscaping choices made when your home was built. Many of the mature trees here, like the silver maples and Bradford pears, were planted in the 1960s for quick shade and curb appeal. The problem is that these species have inherent weaknesses. Silver maples have brittle wood and aggressive surface roots, while Bradford pears are structurally doomed to split apart as they age, which is right about now for many of them. In our climate with over 47 inches of annual rain and 15 storm events a year, these weaknesses become real liabilities. The good news is that native species like your red oaks and sugar maples, if properly cared for, are built to last here.
