Tree Care in Nesconset, NY

If you're looking at the trees in your Nesconset yard, you're likely seeing the legacy of the 1970s building boom. The sugar maples and red oaks that were native here were often passed over for faster-growing trees like silver maple and Bradford pear, which gave new subdivisions instant shade. Fifty years later, those choices are the root of most problems we see. A silver maple's weak wood and aggressive surface roots can threaten your foundation, while a mature Bradford pear is essentially a ticking clock, structurally guaranteed to split at its weak, narrow branch unions. Understanding what was planted and why is the first step to protecting your property.
