Tree Care in Grand View-on-Hudson, NY

If you're looking at the mature trees in Grand View-on-Hudson, you're seeing the landscaping choices made when many of these homes were built nearly 90 years ago. Builders often selected fast-growing trees for quick shade and curb appeal. That's why you'll see so many silver maples and Norway maples here. They grew fast, but silver maples have weak wood and aggressive surface roots that can damage walkways, and Norway maples are invasive and crowd out our native oaks and sugar maples. The challenge is that a tree can look perfectly healthy from the outside while decay is spreading inside the trunk. By the time you see a symptom like a crack or a fungus, the structural problem may be years old.
