Tree Care in Madeira, OH

If you're a homeowner in Madeira, you're likely living with trees planted when your house was built around 1959. That means many of your silver maples and Bradford pears are now 60 to 70 years old and entering their most vulnerable period. We see the same pattern on property after property: a fast-growing silver maple planted too close to the house now has surface roots damaging the foundation and major limbs with weak, included bark unions. You can't see inside a tree from the outside, and the external crack you notice today often started as internal decay years ago. That's why we start every assessment by sounding the trunk with a mallet. A solid oak gives a clear ring; decayed wood sounds dull, telling us there's hidden weakness long before it becomes visible.
