Tree Care in Malverne, NY

If you're looking at the trees in your Malverne yard, you're likely looking at a legacy from the 1940s. Many of the original builders here planted fast-growing trees for quick shade and curb appeal. That's why you see so many mature silver maples and Norway maples. These species have aggressive root systems that can interfere with foundations and sidewalks, and their weak wood is prone to storm damage. The challenge is that a tree can look perfectly healthy from the outside while decay is hollowing it out from within. We use simple tools like a mallet to sound the trunk, listening for the dull thud that indicates rot, long before a cavity becomes visible. It's a critical check for trees that are now over 80 years old.
