Tree Care in Hanson, MA

If you're looking at the trees in your Hanson yard and feeling uneasy, you're not imagining things. Many of the mature trees here, planted when these neighborhoods were built in the late 1960s, are now at a critical age. The silver maples and Norway maples chosen for their fast growth are showing their weaknesses. Silver maple wood is brittle, and its surface roots can heave sidewalks. Norway maples create dense shade that kills the grass underneath. These trees are entering a phase where structural problems from poor planting choices decades ago become clear and potentially hazardous. The local climate, with over 51 inches of annual rain and 10 significant storm events a year, tests these aging giants regularly. Sustained winds followed by a sudden shift, common in our coastal storms, can fatigue compromised trees until they fail.
