Tree Care in Pimmit Hills, VA

If you're looking at the trees in your Pimmit Hills yard and wondering about their health, you're not alone. Most of the homes here were built around 1964, which means the trees are now about 62 years old. That's a critical age for many of the species builders favored back then. You'll see a lot of silver maples and Bradford pears in our neighborhood. They were chosen because they grow fast and look good quickly, but that comes with problems. Silver maple wood is weak and the roots can be aggressive. A Bradford pear is almost guaranteed to split after 15 to 20 years. The challenge is that you can't see inside a tree from the outside. By the time you notice a problem like a crack or dead branch, the internal decay might have been there for years.
