Tree Care in Hicksville, NY

If you're looking at the mature trees in your Hicksville yard, you're likely seeing the legacy of the 1950s building boom. Many of these trees are now 70-plus years old, and the choices made for quick shade and curb appeal are showing their age. We see a lot of silver maples here, prized back then for their fast growth but now presenting problems with weak wood and surface roots that can damage walkways. Bradford pears were another popular choice, and if you have one, you've probably noticed its beautiful spring blossoms come with a guarantee: major structural failure, usually between years 15 and 25, as the tree's narrow branch angles split apart under its own weight. The challenge is that a tree can look perfectly healthy from the outside while decay is active inside the trunk. By the time you see a symptom like a fungal conk or dead branches, the problem has been developing for years.
