Tree Care in Kensington, NY

If you're looking at a mature tree in your Kensington yard, you're likely looking at a problem that was planted decades ago. Many of the beautiful, large trees here are the wrong species for a residential property. Builders in the 1930s and 40s often chose fast-growing trees like silver maple and Norway maple for quick shade. Now, 80-plus years later, those silver maples have weak wood prone to storm damage and aggressive surface roots that can damage foundations and walkways. The Norway maples are crowding out our native oaks and beeches. You can't see the internal decay or structural flaws from the ground, and by the time a branch looks dead, the problem inside is often years old. That's where a professional assessment is critical.
