Tree Care in Ardmore, PA

If you're looking at the trees in your Ardmore yard and feeling uneasy, you're not imagining things. Many of the problems we see here trace back to the 1940s and 50s, when builders planted fast-growing trees for instant curb appeal. That means your property likely has mature silver maples, known for their weak wood and aggressive surface roots, or Bradford pears, which are beautiful but structurally guaranteed to split after 15-20 years. These species are now 80-plus years old and entering a high-risk phase. Our mixed-humid climate, with 41 inches of rain and 17 storm events a year, creates the perfect conditions for failure, especially when soils are saturated. The most dangerous wind pattern for these old trees is a sustained wind from one direction followed by a sudden shift, which fatigues the wood and roots.
