Tree Care in Interlaken, NJ

If you're looking at the trees in your Interlaken yard and feeling uneasy, there's a good reason. Many of the large trees here were planted when these homes were built in the 1940s, and builders often chose species for fast growth, not long-term stability. You'll see a lot of silver maples, which grow quickly but have weak wood and aggressive surface roots that can damage foundations and walkways. You'll also see Bradford pears, which are beautiful for about 15 years before their poor branch structure almost guarantees a major split. The challenge is that a tree can look perfectly healthy from the outside while having significant decay inside that started years ago. Our wet climate, with over 52 inches of rain annually, keeps soils saturated, which can lead to root plate failure during our frequent coastal wind events.
