Tree Care in Crugers, NY

If you're looking at the trees around your Crugers home and feeling uneasy, there's a good reason. Many of the mature trees in our neighborhoods were planted when these houses were built in the late 1950s. Builders often chose fast-growing species for quick shade and curb appeal. That's why you see so many silver maples and Norway maples here. 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 sugar maples and oaks. The problem isn't that the trees are old, it's that they were the wrong choice for the space 65 years ago, and now they're large and potentially hazardous.
