Tree Care in Edgeworth, PA

If you're looking at the trees in your Edgeworth yard and feeling uneasy, there's a good reason. Many of the large maples and oaks you see are around 80 years old, planted when these homes were built in the 1940s. Builders often chose fast-growing species for quick shade, like silver maples and Norway maples. These trees have weak wood and aggressive roots that are now causing problems with foundations and sidewalks. The challenge is that a tree can look perfectly healthy on the outside while having significant decay inside. We use simple tools like a mallet to tap the trunk; solid wood rings clear, while decayed wood sounds dull. This helps us find problems years before they become visible to you.
