Tree Care in East Norwich, NY

If you're looking at the trees in your East Norwich yard and wondering about their health, you're not alone. Most of our homes were built in the late 1950s, which means the trees are now about 68 years old. That's a critical age for many of the fast-growing species builders favored back then. You'll see mature silver maples, known for their weak wood and aggressive surface roots that can damage walkways, and Bradford pears, which are beautiful but structurally guaranteed to split apart after 15 to 20 years. The challenge is that a tree can look fine from the outside while having serious decay inside. We use simple tools like a mallet to sound the trunk; solid wood rings clear, while decayed wood sounds dull. This helps us find problems long before they become visible to you.
