Tree Care in Merion Station, PA

In Merion Station, the mature trees that give our neighborhoods their character are also their biggest liability. Most of the problems we see with silver maples or Bradford pears on properties here trace back to a simple fact: the wrong tree was planted in the wrong place 80 years ago. Builders chose these species for fast growth and instant curb appeal, not for longevity or safety. Now, those silver maples have weak wood and aggressive surface roots, and every Bradford pear is structurally guaranteed to split. You can't see inside a tree from the outside. What looks like a solid trunk can be hollow, and by the time a symptom appears on the bark, the internal decay may be years old.
