Tree Care in Flanders, NJ

If you're looking at the trees in your Flanders yard and feeling uneasy, you're not imagining things. Many of the homes here were built in the late 1970s, which means the trees are now about 47 years old. That's the age when problems from poor planting choices become impossible to ignore. You'll see this with the silver maples, planted for their fast growth. Their weak wood and aggressive surface roots are now cracking driveways and posing a real storm risk. You'll also see the Bradford pears, which were popular for their spring blossoms. Their branch structure is fundamentally flawed, and they are guaranteed to split apart, usually between years 15 and 25. Most of the tree emergencies we see aren't random acts of nature. They are the direct result of the wrong tree being planted in the wrong place decades ago.
