Tree Care in Mamaroneck, NY

If you're looking at the trees in your Mamaroneck yard and feeling uneasy, there's a good reason. Many of the mature trees here, like the silver maples and Bradford pears, were planted when these homes were built in the mid-20th century. Builders often chose these species for fast growth and quick curb appeal, but they come with inherent problems. Silver maples have weak wood and aggressive surface roots, while Bradford pears are structurally doomed to split apart after 15 to 20 years. These aren't just aesthetic issues. In our coastal Westchester climate with over 50 inches of annual rain and 13 storm events a year, these weaknesses become real liabilities during high winds.
