Tree Care in Deer Park, NY

If you're looking at the trees in your Deer Park yard and feeling uneasy, there's a good reason. Many of the mature trees here were planted when these homes were built in the early 1960s, and builders often chose species for fast growth, not long-term stability. You'll see a lot of silver maples, which can have weak wood and aggressive surface roots that damage foundations and driveways. You'll also see Bradford pears, which are beautiful for about 15 years before their poor branch structure almost guarantees a major split. The problem isn't that the trees are old, it's that they were the wrong choice for this location from the start. We have 24 storm events a year on average in Suffolk County, and these species are particularly vulnerable to the kind of sustained winds we get, which can fatigue weak branch unions and lead to failure.
