Tree Care in Lakeview, NY

If you're looking at the trees in your Lakeview yard, you're likely seeing the legacy of the 1950s building boom. Many of the homes here were built around 1956, and builders often chose trees for speed, not longevity. That's why you see so many mature silver maples and Norway maples. They grew fast and provided shade quickly, but silver maples have notoriously weak wood and aggressive surface roots that can damage foundations and sidewalks. Norway maples create such dense shade that nothing grows beneath them, and they crowd out our native oaks and sugar maples. The challenge is that a tree can look perfectly healthy from the outside while having serious decay inside. By the time you see a fungus or a dead branch, the problem may have been developing for years.
