Tree Care in Leonia, NJ

If you're looking at the trees in your Leonia yard and feeling uneasy, you're not imagining things. Many of the problems you see today were planted decades ago. Builders in the 1940s and 50s often chose fast-growing trees for quick shade and curb appeal, not for long-term health. That's why you see so many mature silver maples with their weak, brittle wood and aggressive surface roots, or Bradford pears that are now reaching the age where their poor branch structure makes them prone to splitting. These species were set up for failure from the start. Our cool-humid climate with 46 inches of annual rain and 16 major storm events a year puts constant stress on these aging trees, testing their structural weaknesses.
