Tree Care in Millwood, NY

If you're looking at the trees in your Millwood yard and wondering about their health, you're not alone. Many of the mature trees here, like the silver maples and Norway maples, were planted when these homes were built in the early 1970s. Builders often chose these species for their fast growth and instant shade, but that speed comes at a cost. Silver maples have weak wood and aggressive surface roots that can damage walkways, while Norway maples are invasive and crowd out our native oaks and sugar maples. After about 55 years, these trees are entering a stage where structural weaknesses become real liabilities, especially during our 13 annual storm events. Understanding what you have is the first step to protecting your property.
