Tree Care in Stirling, NJ

If you're in Stirling, your trees are likely the same age as your house, around 69 years old. That means many of the silver maples and Bradford pears planted for quick shade in the 1950s are now at a critical age. Silver maples have notoriously weak wood and surface roots that can damage foundations, while every Bradford pear is structurally destined to split. You can't see the internal decay that starts years before a branch fails. We use simple tools like a mallet to sound the trunk; a hollow thud instead of a solid ring tells us there's a problem long before it becomes visible to you.
