Tree Care in Jobstown, NJ

If you're in Jobstown, you're likely looking at trees that are about 34 years old, planted when these neighborhoods were built in the early 1990s. That means your Red Oaks and Sugar Maples are entering a mature stage where structural weaknesses from their youth can become serious liabilities. In our mixed-humid climate with over 45 inches of annual rain, soils are often saturated. This is critical because wind storms, of which we average over 40 per year, primarily cause uprooting when the root plate fails in wet ground. The most dangerous pattern is a sustained wind from one direction followed by a sudden shift, which fatigues the tree's anchor points. You'll also see branch failures, especially from the included bark unions common on fast-growing trees like the Silver Maple, which is a problem species I often recommend monitoring closely.
