Tree Care in Riverhead, NY

In Riverhead, your mature trees are likely around 36 years old, planted when many of the homes were built in the late 1980s and 1990s. This means your native Red Oaks and Sugar Maples are entering a critical phase. They're large enough to provide significant shade and value, but also large enough to cause serious damage if they fail. Our mixed-humid climate brings 47 inches of rain annually, which saturates our sandy soils. When a summer thunderstorm brings sustained wind followed by a sudden shift, it fatigues the root system. This is the most common cause of uprooting here, especially for shallow-rooted species like the Silver Maple, which is often a problem tree in older landscapes.
