Tree Care in North Lake, WI

If you're looking at the trees around your North Lake home and feeling uneasy, there's a good reason. Many of the large silver maples and Siberian elms you see were planted when these neighborhoods were built in the late 1950s. Builders back then chose fast growing species for quick shade and curb appeal, without considering their long term weaknesses. Silver maple wood is brittle, and its roots can be aggressive. Siberian elm is prone to storm damage. These trees are now about 68 years old, which is often past their safe structural prime in our climate. The problem is, you can't see inside a tree from the outside. Internal decay can be advanced long before a cavity appears, which is why a professional assessment is critical.
