Tree Care in Ronkonkoma, NY

If you're looking at the trees in your Ronkonkoma yard and feeling uneasy, there's a good reason. Many of the problems you see today were planted decades ago. Builders in the 1970s often chose fast-growing trees for quick shade and curb appeal, but those choices have matured into liabilities. You'll see silver maples with weak, brittle wood and surface roots that heave sidewalks. You'll see Bradford pears, which are beautiful for about 15 years before their poor branch structure guarantees a major split. In our Suffolk County climate with 46 inches of annual rain and 24 storm events a year, these inherent weaknesses are not a matter of if they'll fail, but when. The good news is that a professional assessment can identify these risks and create a management plan, often saving the valuable native trees like your red oaks and sugar maples that are worth protecting.
