Tree Care in Oceanport, NJ

If you're looking at a mature tree in your Oceanport yard, it was likely planted around 1972 when your home was built. Builders back then often chose fast-growing trees for quick shade and curb appeal. That's why we see so many silver maples and Bradford pears here. The silver maple grows fast, but its weak wood and aggressive surface roots can damage foundations and walkways. The Bradford pear is beautiful for about 15 years, but its branch structure is guaranteed to split, creating a major hazard. These were the wrong trees for the long term, and now, 54 years later, you're dealing with the consequences. Our local climate, with 52.5 inches of annual rain and 25 storm events a year, only accelerates these problems, especially when soils are saturated.
