Tree Care in Lincoln Park, NJ

If you're looking at the mature trees in your Lincoln Park yard, you're likely seeing the legacy of the early 1970s. Most homes here were built around 1972, and the landscaping choices made then are now fully mature, for better or worse. Builders often planted fast-growing trees like silver maple and Bradford pear for quick shade and curb appeal. Now, 54 years later, those silver maples have aggressive surface roots that can damage foundations and walkways, and every Bradford pear in town is at or past its 15-20 year lifespan, where its weak, narrow branch unions are guaranteed to split apart in our Morris County storms. Understanding this history is the first step to managing your property's largest living assets and liabilities.
