Tree Care in Bryn Mawr-Skyway, WA

If you're looking at the mature trees in your Bryn Mawr-Skyway yard, you're seeing the legacy of the 1960s. When these homes went in, builders often planted for speed, not for the next sixty years. That's why we see so many silver maples here. They grew fast for instant shade, but their weak wood and aggressive surface roots are now causing sidewalk damage and creating a real storm hazard. You'll also find ornamental trees like Bradford pears that were popular then. They're beautiful for about fifteen years, but their branch structure is fundamentally flawed and they almost always split apart, often during one of our wet, windy winters. The good news is the native giants, like your Douglas firs and bigleaf maples, that were already here when the neighborhood was built. Those are your most valuable assets.
