Tree Care in Lyons, NJ

If you're looking at a mature tree in your Lyons yard, you're likely looking at a decision made in the early 1980s. That's when many of the homes here were built, and builders often chose trees for speed, not longevity. You'll see the legacy of those choices today in the form of silver maples with their brittle, storm-prone branches and aggressive surface roots, or Bradford pears that are now reaching the age where their weak, narrow branch unions are guaranteed to split. In our cool-humid Somerset County climate with over 46 inches of annual rain, these structural flaws are tested by nearly 16 storm events a year. The real risk isn't just a single gust, but sustained winds that fatigue a tree before a sudden shift delivers the final blow.
