Tree Care in White Plains, NY

If you're looking at the trees in your White Plains yard and feeling uneasy, there's a good reason. Many of the mature trees here were planted when your home was built, around 68 years ago in the late 1950s. Builders often chose fast-growing species for quick shade and curb appeal. That means you're likely living with the legacy of a silver maple, known for its weak wood and aggressive surface roots, or a Bradford pear, a tree structurally guaranteed to split apart after 15 to 20 years. These trees are now at an age where their inherent weaknesses are becoming liabilities, especially with our local storm patterns. The most dangerous wind for a tree isn't just high speed, it's a sustained wind from one direction followed by a sudden shift, which fatigues the wood and roots.
