Tree Care in Coldstream, OH

If you're looking at the trees in your Coldstream yard and wondering about their health, you're not alone. Most of the problems I see here trace back to the original landscaping choices made when these homes were built in the early 1980s. Builders often chose fast-growing trees for quick shade and curb appeal, which has left many properties with mature silver maples and Bradford pears. Silver maples have weak wood and aggressive surface roots that can damage foundations and sidewalks, while every Bradford pear is structurally guaranteed to split at its weak, narrow branch unions, usually within 15 to 20 years. These are liabilities now that they're 40-plus years old. The good news is you also have some excellent native species here, like bur oak and sugar maple, that are much better suited to Hamilton County's climate and soils. My job is to help you manage the risky trees and preserve the valuable ones.
