Tree Care in Ossining, NY

If you're looking at the trees in your Ossining yard and feeling uneasy, there's a good reason. Many of the mature trees here were planted when these homes were built, around 1958. Builders often chose fast-growing species like silver maple for quick shade or Bradford pear for instant spring blooms. These trees are now 60-80 years old and entering a high-risk phase. Silver maples have notoriously weak wood and aggressive surface roots, while every Bradford pear is structurally guaranteed to split. The 50 inches of annual rain and 13 storms a year we get here test these weaknesses constantly. You can't see decay from the outside, and by the time a cavity is visible, the internal problem may be years old. That's why a proactive assessment is critical.
