Tree Care in Fort Salonga, NY

If you're looking at your trees in Fort Salonga and wondering about their health, you're not alone. Most of our residential tree problems here started decades ago when the homes were built. Builders in the 1960s often planted fast-growing species like silver maple and Norway maple for quick shade. Silver maples have weak wood and aggressive surface roots that can damage foundations and driveways, while Norway maples create dense shade that prevents anything else from growing underneath. These trees are now mature, around 60 years old, and entering a phase where structural weaknesses become apparent. You can't see inside a tree from the outside, and problems like internal decay can be active for years before any external symptom, like a fungus or a crack, shows up. That's why proactive assessment is key.
