Tree Care in Thornburg, PA

If you're looking at the trees in your Thornburg yard and feeling uneasy, there's a good reason. Most of the homes here were built in the mid-1950s, which means the trees planted for instant shade and curb appeal are now 70-plus years old and entering a high-risk phase. You'll see a lot of silver maples and Bradford pears from that era. Silver maples grow fast, but their weak wood and aggressive surface roots cause constant problems. A Bradford pear might look perfect for 15 years, but its narrow branch angles are structurally guaranteed to split, often during one of our 65 annual storm events. The issue isn't that the trees are old; it's that they were the wrong choice from the start.
