Tree Care in Phoenicia, NY

In Phoenicia, your mature trees are likely around 88 years old, planted when many of our homes were built in the late 1930s. Builders back then often chose fast growing trees for quick shade and curb appeal. That's why we see so many silver maples and Norway maples here. Silver maples have weak wood and aggressive surface roots that can damage foundations and driveways. Norway maples are invasive and crowd out our native sugar maples and red oaks. The problem is you can't see inside a tree from the outside. Internal decay can be active for years before any external symptoms appear, which is why regular professional assessment is crucial.
