Tree Care in Little Silver, NJ

If you're looking at the trees in your Little Silver yard and feeling uneasy, there's a good reason. Many of the mature trees here were planted when these neighborhoods were built in the 1960s, and builders often chose species for speed, not longevity. You'll see a lot of silver maples and Bradford pears, which are now reaching the age where their inherent weaknesses become serious liabilities. Silver maples have notoriously weak wood and aggressive surface roots, while every Bradford pear is structurally guaranteed to split apart. The problem is, you often can't see the internal decay that leads to failure until it's too late. That's where professional assessment comes in.
