Tree Care in Braintree Town, MA

If you're looking at the trees in your Braintree yard and wondering about their health, you're not alone. Most of our residential trees here were planted when these neighborhoods were built in the late 1950s, which means they're now mature specimens around 70 years old. This is the age when problems from poor initial planting choices become obvious. You'll see this with the silver maples, chosen for their fast growth but now showing weak wood and aggressive surface roots that threaten foundations and sidewalks. You'll also see it with Bradford pears, which were planted for their spring blossoms but are now at the age where their poor branch structure makes them prone to splitting apart in our storms.
