Tree Care in Harbor Hills, NY

If you're looking at the trees in your Harbor Hills yard, you're likely looking at history. Many of the homes here were built around 1938, which means the original landscaping is now about 88 years old. The builders often chose trees for quick shade and curb appeal, not for long-term stability. That's why you see so many mature silver maples, known for their aggressive surface roots and weak, brittle wood, and Norway maples, which can crowd out our native oaks and beeches. The problem is, you can't see inside a tree from the outside. A tree can look full and green for years while decay is hollowing out its core, a hidden weakness that only becomes obvious during one of our 9 or so annual storm events.
