Tree Care in Whippany, NJ

If you're looking at the trees in your Whippany yard and feeling uneasy, there's a good reason. Many of the mature trees here, like the silver maples and Bradford pears, were planted when these neighborhoods were built up in the 1970s. Builders often chose these species for fast growth and quick curb appeal, but they come with inherent problems. Silver maples have weak wood and aggressive surface roots, while Bradford pears are practically guaranteed to split apart after 15 to 20 years. Now, these trees are over 50 years old and entering a high-risk phase. The local climate, with 49 inches of annual rain and over 20 storm events a year, creates saturated soils that can lead to uprooting during sustained winds, especially for these structurally weak species.
