Tree Care in Haworth, NJ

If you're looking at a large silver maple or Norway maple in your Haworth yard, you're seeing a common legacy. Many of the trees here were planted when these neighborhoods were built in the 1950s. Builders often chose fast-growing species for quick shade, but they didn't consider the long-term problems. Silver maples have weak wood and aggressive surface roots that can damage foundations and walkways. Norway maples are invasive and create dense shade that kills the grass and prevents new native plants from growing. These trees are now over 70 years old, which is near the end of their natural lifespan in a residential setting. This age, combined with our local storm patterns, creates significant risk.
