Tree Care in Paramus, NJ

If you're looking at the trees in your Paramus yard and wondering about their health, you're not alone. Most of the mature trees here in Bergen County are about 65 years old, planted when these neighborhoods were built in the early 1960s. The problem we see most often is that the wrong tree was planted in the wrong place for quick curb appeal. You'll see this with silver maples, which grow fast but have weak wood and aggressive surface roots that can damage foundations and sidewalks. You'll also see it with Bradford pears, which are beautiful for about 15 years but are structurally guaranteed to split at their weak branch unions. These trees are now at an age where their inherent weaknesses are becoming serious liabilities.
