Tree Care in Palisades Park, NJ

If you're looking at the trees in your Palisades Park yard, you're likely seeing the legacy of the late 1970s. That's when most homes here were built, and builders often chose trees for quick growth, not long-term health. You'll see a lot of Norway Maples and Bradford Pears from that era. The Norway Maple creates dense shade that kills the grass underneath, and the Bradford Pear is practically engineered to split apart after 15-20 years. These trees are now about 47 years old and entering a critical phase where structural weaknesses from poor planting choices become real hazards. Our cool-humid climate with 46 inches of rain a year means soils are often saturated, setting the stage for uprooting during our frequent storms.
