Tree Care in Larchmont, NY

If you're looking at the trees in your Larchmont yard and wondering about their health, you're not alone. Most of our residential tree problems started decades ago when builders planted the wrong species for quick results. That beautiful silver maple near your driveway has weak wood and aggressive roots that can damage foundations. Those Bradford pears lining the street are practically guaranteed to split at their weak branch unions within 15-20 years. These aren't just aesthetic issues. With 13 storm events annually in our humid climate, these structural weaknesses become real liabilities. The good news is that many of our native trees, like your red oaks and sugar maples, are far better suited to our 51 inches of annual rainfall and Westchester's weather patterns.
