Tree Care in Point Pleasant Beach, NJ

If you're looking at the trees in your Point Pleasant Beach yard and feeling uneasy, there's a good reason. Many of the large trees here were planted when these homes were built in the late 1950s, and builders often chose species for fast growth, not long-term stability. You'll see this with the silver maples, which have weak wood and aggressive surface roots that can damage foundations, and the Bradford pears, which are practically guaranteed to split apart after 15 to 20 years. These trees are now about 67 years old and entering a high-risk phase. The local climate, with 52 inches of rain and 24 storm events a year, creates saturated soils that make these mature trees vulnerable to uprooting during our coastal winds.
