Tree Care in Thomaston, NY

If you're looking at a mature tree in your Thomaston yard, you're likely looking at a decision made in the 1950s. Builders here favored fast-growing trees for quick shade and curb appeal. That's why you see so many silver maples and Bradford pears. The silver maple grows fast, but its weak wood and aggressive surface roots cause problems. The Bradford pear looks beautiful for about 15 years, but its branch structure is guaranteed to split. These trees are now 70-plus years old, and their inherent weaknesses are showing. You can't see inside a tree from the outside. A tree that looks fine might have internal decay that started years ago, which is why regular professional assessment is critical for safety and preservation.
