Tree Care in Mountainside, NJ

If you're looking at the mature trees in your Mountainside yard, you're likely seeing the legacy of the late 1950s. That's when most of our homes were built, and builders often chose trees for speed, not longevity. You might have a silver maple that grew fast but now has weak, brittle wood and surface roots cracking your driveway. Or a Bradford pear that looked beautiful for 15 years but is now guaranteed to split at its weak, narrow branch unions. The core issue is that the wrong tree was planted in the wrong place decades ago, and now you're managing the consequences. We also see a lot of Norway maples, which crowd out our native sugar maples and red oaks. The good news is that with proper care, many of these trees can be preserved and made safe.
