Tree Care in Orient, NY

In Orient, your mature trees are likely around 58 years old, planted when many of the homes here were built. That means you're living with the landscaping decisions of the 1960s and 70s. Back then, builders often chose fast-growing trees for quick shade and curb appeal. Two common choices were silver maple, known for its weak wood and aggressive surface roots that can damage foundations and walkways, and Norway maple, an invasive species that crowds out our native oaks and beeches. These trees are now entering a stage where structural weaknesses become major liabilities during our 24 annual storm events. The wrong tree in the wrong place decades ago is the root of most residential tree problems we see today.
