Tree Care in Malverne Park Oaks, NY

If you're looking at the trees in your Malverne Park Oaks yard, you're likely looking at history. The homes here were built around 1938, which means many of your trees are pushing 90 years old. That's a full lifespan for some of the fast-growing species builders favored back then, like silver maples and Norway maples. These trees were chosen for quick shade, but they come with problems. Silver maple wood is brittle, and its roots can be aggressive. Norway maples create dense shade that prevents anything from growing underneath. The challenge is that a tree can look fine from the outside while decay is hollowing it out from within. We use simple tools like a mallet to sound the trunk; solid wood rings clear, while decayed wood sounds dull. This tells us what's happening inside long before a branch fails.
