Tree Care in Andover, MA

If you're looking at the trees in your Andover yard and feeling uneasy, there's a good reason. Many of the mature trees here were planted when these neighborhoods were built in the 1940s and 50s. Builders often chose fast-growing species for quick shade and curb appeal, like silver maple and Norway maple. These trees are now 80 years old and entering a high-risk phase. The problem is you can't see inside a tree from the outside. Internal decay can be advanced for years before a visible crack or fungus appears. That large silver maple with its wide canopy might look solid, but its weak wood and aggressive roots make it a common failure point in our storms.
