Tree Care in Penn Wynne, PA

If you're looking at the trees in your Penn Wynne yard, you're likely seeing the legacy of the 1950s building boom. Many of the original developers planted fast-growing trees for quick shade and curb appeal. That's why you'll find so many mature silver maples and Bradford pears here. Silver maples grow quickly but have weak wood and aggressive surface roots that can damage foundations and sidewalks. Bradford pears look beautiful in spring, but their branch structure is fundamentally flawed. They're practically guaranteed to split apart after 15-20 years, often during one of our 40 annual storm events. These are classic examples of the right tree in the wrong place, and now, 70 years later, homeowners are dealing with the consequences. The good news is that native species like your sugar maples and red oaks are far better adapted to our Montgomery County soils and climate.
