Tree Care in Summit, NJ

If you're looking at the trees in your Summit yard and wondering about their health, you're not alone. Most of the mature trees in our neighborhoods were planted when these homes were built, roughly 73 years ago. Builders often chose fast-growing species for quick shade and curb appeal. That's why you see so many silver maples, known for their aggressive surface roots and weak wood, and Bradford pears, which are beautiful but structurally guaranteed to split after 15 to 20 years. These trees are now at an age where hidden internal decay is a real concern. You can't see inside a tree from the outside, and problems often start years before any external symptoms appear. A professional assessment is key to understanding the true condition of your landscape's oldest assets.
