Tree Care in Ho-Ho-Kus, NJ

If you're looking at the trees in your Ho-Ho-Kus yard and feeling uneasy, there's a good reason. Many of the mature trees here, like the silver maples and Bradford pears, were planted by builders in the 1950s for quick shade and curb appeal. The problem is they chose species known for weak wood and poor structure. Now, 70 years later, these trees are at their biological limit. A Bradford pear's branches are practically guaranteed to split, and a silver maple's shallow roots can heave your driveway. You can't see decay from the outside, but by the time a cavity is visible, the internal damage has been there for years.
