Tree Care in Garwood, NJ

If you're looking at the trees in your Garwood yard and wondering about their health, you're not alone. Most of the homes here were built in the 1950s, and the builders often chose trees for speed, not longevity. That's why we see so many mature silver maples and Norway maples. They grew fast for instant shade, but silver maples have notoriously weak wood and aggressive surface roots that can damage walkways. Norway maples create such dense shade that nothing grows beneath them, and they're crowding out our native oaks and sugar maples. The challenge is that a tree can look fine from the outside while having serious decay inside. By the time you see dead branches or mushrooms at the base, the problem has been developing for years.
