Tree Care in Kimberton, PA

If you're looking at the trees around your Kimberton home and feeling uneasy, there's a good reason. Many of the mature trees in our neighborhoods are now 60 to 80 years old, which is the lifespan for several problematic species planted by builders. You'll see silver maples with massive, surface-level roots that threaten foundations and sidewalks, and Bradford pears that are almost guaranteed to split at their weak, narrow branch unions. The challenge is that internal decay can be extensive long before you see external signs. A hollow sound when you tap the trunk with a mallet means the structural wood is already gone, even if the canopy looks full. Our local storms, with their shifting winds, are particularly good at finding these hidden weaknesses.
