Tree Care in Wheatley Heights, NY

If you're looking at the trees in your Wheatley Heights yard and feeling uneasy, there's a good reason. Most of the homes here were built around 1970, which means the trees are now about 56 years old. That's the age when problems from poor planting choices become obvious. You'll see this in the silver maples, planted for their fast growth, which now have weak wood and roots that can damage foundations. You'll also see it in the Bradford pears, which were beautiful for 15 years but are now guaranteed to split at their weak, narrow branch unions. These aren't maintenance issues. They are design flaws from the start, and they require a specific plan to manage the risk as these trees enter their mature years in our Suffolk County climate.
