Tree Care in Dover, MA

In Dover, the mature trees that give your property its character are often the same ones that pose the biggest risk. Many of the sugar maples and red oaks you see are now 50 to 60 years old, reaching a stage where structural weaknesses from their youth become critical. The real issue often started decades ago when builders or previous homeowners planted fast-growing trees for quick shade. Species like silver maple and Norway maple were common choices, but they have weak wood and aggressive surface roots that can damage foundations and walkways. When our typical Nor'easters bring sustained winds, these are the trees most likely to lose major limbs or uproot, especially after our 47 inches of annual rain saturates the soil.
