Tree Care in Johnsonburg, NJ

Johnsonburg, your trees are hitting a critical age. Most of the mature maples and oaks around homes built in the early 90s are now about 35 years old. This is when structural issues from their youth, like poor branch unions in silver maples or Norway maples, become real liabilities. Our 48 inches of annual rain means soils are often saturated. In a storm, that's the prime condition for wind to cause root plate failure, where the whole tree uproots. The most dangerous pattern for your mature red oaks is a sustained wind from one direction, which stresses the root system, followed by a sudden shift. That sequence fatigues the tree and is a common cause of failure here.
