Tree Care in Oyster Bay Cove, NY

If you're looking at the trees in your Oyster Bay Cove yard and feeling a bit uneasy, you're not alone. Most of the homes here were built in the early 1970s, which means the trees are now about 53 years old. That's a critical age where the choices made by the original builders are coming home to roost. For quick shade and curb appeal, they often planted fast growing but problematic species. You'll see a lot of silver maples, which have weak wood and surface roots that can damage walkways, and Bradford pears, which are practically guaranteed to split apart after 15 to 20 years. These trees are now mature, and their structural flaws are becoming liabilities during our 9 or so annual storm events. The good news is your property also likely has valuable native specimens like red oak or sugar maple that are worth protecting and appraising properly.
