Tree Care in Seaside Park, NJ

If you're looking at the trees in your Seaside Park yard, you're likely seeing the legacy of the late 1950s. That's when most homes here were built, and the landscaping choices made then are causing problems now, nearly 70 years later. Builders often planted fast-growing trees like silver maple and Bradford pear for quick shade and curb appeal. Silver maples have weak wood and aggressive surface roots that can damage foundations and sidewalks. Bradford pears are beautiful for about 15 years, but their branch structure is fundamentally flawed and they are almost guaranteed to split apart during one of our coastal storms. The challenge is that the internal decay that leads to failure often starts years before you see any external symptoms.
