Tree Care in Brookline, MA

If you're a Brookline homeowner, you're likely living with decisions made by builders in the 1940s. They planted fast-growing trees like silver maple and Norway maple for quick shade, not for the 80-year lifespan your property now demands. Silver maples have weak wood and aggressive surface roots that can damage walkways, while Norway maples create dense shade that kills the grass underneath. We see these legacy issues daily. The challenge is that a tree can look perfectly healthy for years while decay spreads inside the trunk, a problem you can't see from your yard. A sudden wind shift during one of our 14 annual storms can be the final stress that causes a major limb, or the whole tree, to fail.
