Tree Care in Pomona, NY

If you're looking at the trees in your Pomona yard and feeling concerned, you're not alone. Most of the residential tree problems I see here trace back to a simple fact: the wrong tree was planted in the wrong place 40 to 50 years ago. When many of these homes were built, developers often chose fast-growing species for instant curb appeal. That's why you see so many mature silver maples, known for their weak wood and aggressive 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 at full maturity, and their inherent weaknesses are becoming liabilities during our 4 to 5 annual storm events. The good news is your property also likely has valuable native specimens, like sugar maples and red oaks, that are worth protecting and appraising properly.
