Tree Care in Nelsonville, NY

Nelsonville's mature trees are a defining feature of your property, but many are now reaching a critical age. The sugar maples and red oaks you see today were likely planted when these homes were built in the late 1930s. That means they're about 88 years old, and the choices made back then are now your responsibility. Fast-growing species like silver maple and Norway maple were popular for quick shade, but they have weak wood and aggressive roots that can damage foundations and walkways. You can't see inside a tree from the outside. A tree that looks full and green can have significant internal decay that only becomes obvious when a major limb fails during one of our nearly five annual storm events.
