Tree Care in Babylon, NY

If you're a homeowner in Babylon, you're likely dealing with trees that are about 70 years old, planted when your neighborhood was built. That means you have mature silver maples and Norway maples that were chosen for their fast growth, not their long-term health. Silver maples have weak wood and aggressive surface roots that can damage foundations and sidewalks. Norway maples create dense shade that kills the grass underneath and outcompetes our native oaks and beeches. These trees are now large and, in many cases, structurally unsound. A storm with sustained winds from one direction, followed by a sudden shift, can fatigue these old trees and cause major limb failures or uprooting, especially after our 38 inches of annual rain saturates the soil.
