Tree Care in Rollingwood, TX

Rollingwood's mature tree canopy is a defining feature of the neighborhood, but many of the trees you see are now 40 to 50 years old. That's a critical age for species that were popular with builders in the early 80s. You'll see a lot of silver maples and Bradford pears, which were chosen for fast growth and quick shade. The problem is that silver maple has weak, brittle wood and aggressive surface roots, and every Bradford pear is structurally guaranteed to split at its weak, narrow branch unions, usually within 15 to 20 years. In our hot, humid climate with over 25 storm events a year, these inherent weaknesses become major liabilities. The good news is that your native trees, like Southern Live Oaks and Bald Cypress, are far better adapted to our soils and weather, and with proper care, they can be the valuable, long-term assets your property deserves.
