Tree Care in Signal Mountain, TN

If you're looking at a mature tree on your Signal Mountain property, there's a good chance it was planted when your house was built in the 1970s. Back then, builders often chose fast growing trees for quick shade and curb appeal, without considering their long term health or structural integrity. This means many of the silver maples and Bradford pears you see around town are now entering a critical age where their inherent weaknesses, like weak wood or included bark, become major liabilities during our frequent storms. With 12.6 storm events a year and 58 inches of rain, the saturated red clay soils on the mountain can lead to root plate failure when high winds hit a compromised tree. The goal now is to manage these inherited risks to protect your home and preserve the real value mature trees provide.
