Tree Care in Abington, MA

If you're looking at the trees in your Abington yard and feeling uneasy, there's a good reason. Many of the mature trees here were planted when these neighborhoods were built in the 1960s and 70s, and builders often chose species for speed, not longevity. You'll see a lot of silver maples, which grow fast but have weak wood and aggressive surface roots that can damage foundations and walkways. You'll also see Bradford pears, which are beautiful for about 15 years before their poor branch structure almost guarantees a major split. The good news is your native trees, like the sugar maples and red oaks, are far more resilient if they've been properly cared for. My job is to help you identify which trees are assets and which are liabilities before the next Plymouth County storm.
