Tree Care in Harrison, NJ

If you're looking at the trees in your Harrison yard and feeling concerned, you're not alone. Most of the problems we see here, from cracked sidewalks to sudden branch drop, trace back to the original landscaping choices made when these homes were built. Builders in the 1970s and 80s often planted fast-growing trees like silver maple and Norway maple for quick shade. Now, nearly 50 years later, those trees are mature. Silver maples have notoriously weak wood and surface roots that heave pavement, while Norway maples are aggressive and can crowd out better native species like our local red oaks. You're dealing with the consequences of a decision made decades ago.
