Tree Care in Verplanck, NY

If you're looking at the trees in your Verplanck yard, you're likely seeing the legacy of the 1950s. Most homes here were built around 1955, which means the trees planted for instant shade and curb appeal are now about 71 years old. That puts many of them, like silver maples and Bradford pears, right at the age where their inherent weaknesses become serious liabilities. Silver maples have notoriously weak wood and aggressive surface roots, while a mature Bradford pear is practically guaranteed to split apart. The problem is that you can't see the decay inside from the outside. What looks like a healthy canopy might be hiding a hollow trunk, a risk that becomes clear during our 4-6 annual storm events. That's why professional assessment is critical for trees of this age in our cool-humid climate.
