Tree Care in Nyack, NY

If you're looking at a mature tree in your Nyack yard, you're likely looking at a decision made in the 1960s. Many of our neighborhoods were built then, and builders often chose fast-growing trees for quick shade and curb appeal. That's why you see so many silver maples and Bradford pears here. The silver maple grows fast, but its weak wood and aggressive surface roots can damage walkways and foundations. The Bradford pear is beautiful for about 15 years, but its narrow branch structure is guaranteed to split in our storms. You can't see inside a tree from the outside. A tree that looks fine one season can have years of internal decay, which is why professional assessment is critical.
