Tree Care in Norwood, NJ

If you're looking at the trees in your Norwood yard and feeling uneasy, there's a good reason. Many of the homes here were built in the late 1960s, and the builders often chose trees for speed, not longevity. You'll see a lot of silver maples and Bradford pears from that era. A silver maple grows fast and gives quick shade, but its weak wood and aggressive surface roots are a long-term problem for foundations and driveways. A Bradford pear is beautiful for about 15 years, but its branch structure is fundamentally flawed and guaranteed to split. In our cool-humid Bergen County climate with over 50 inches of rain, these weaknesses get tested by storms every year.
