Tree Care in Englewood Cliffs, NJ

If you're looking at the mature trees in your Englewood Cliffs yard, you're likely seeing the legacy of the 1960s and 70s. Many of the homes here were built around 1969, which means the landscaping is now about 57 years old. The builders often chose trees for quick growth and instant shade, not for long-term stability. That's why you'll see a lot of Norway Maples and Silver Maples. Norway Maples create dense shade that kills the lawn beneath them, and Silver Maples have notoriously weak wood and aggressive surface roots that can damage walkways. These trees are now entering a high-risk maturity phase where structural weaknesses from poor planting choices decades ago become major liabilities during our frequent storms.
