Riverdale tree care, in context
What we have learned working trees in Riverdale
Riverdale's older subdivisions concentrated water-oak and post-oak plantings in the 1970s. Both species have aging-and-failure curves that hit hardest at 45-65 years, which is right where Riverdale is now. We see a higher-than-average rate of pre-storm assessment converting to actual storm response in this area, which means many of these trees were already at risk before the wind hit.
Local code
