Tree Care in Woodstock, NY

If you're a homeowner in Woodstock, you're likely living with trees planted when your house was built, around 1959. That means you have 65-year-old specimens of species builders favored for quick growth, like silver maple and Norway maple. These trees are now mature, and their inherent weaknesses are showing. Silver maples have notoriously weak wood and aggressive surface roots that can damage foundations and walkways. Norway maples create dense shade that prevents anything from growing beneath them, including your lawn or native seedlings. The challenge is that internal decay can be advanced long before you see external symptoms like mushrooms or cracks. A hollow sound when the trunk is tapped can be the first clue of a serious problem that's been developing for years.
