Tree Care in Milltown, NJ

If you're looking at the trees in your Milltown yard and feeling uneasy, there's a good reason. Many of the problems we see here trace back to the 1960s, when builders planted fast-growing species for quick shade. That silver maple by your driveway has weak wood and aggressive roots that can damage foundations. That Bradford pear near the house is beautiful, but its structure guarantees it will split, usually within 15 to 20 years. These were the wrong trees for the long term. Our local climate, with 49.5 inches of annual rain and 15 major storm events a year, puts constant stress on these aging specimens. The good news is that native species like your red oaks and sugar maples are far better suited to handle Middlesex County's weather.
