Tree Care in Hopkinton, MA

If you're looking at the trees in your Hopkinton yard and feeling uneasy, there's a good reason. Many of the mature trees here were planted when your home was built, around 1960. That means they're now 60 to 80 years old, entering the stage where age-related problems become visible. Builders often chose fast-growing species for quick shade and curb appeal. You'll see a lot of silver maples, known for their aggressive surface roots that can damage foundations and sidewalks, and Norway maples, which crowd out our native sugar maples and red oaks. The problem is, you can't see inside a tree from the outside. Internal decay or structural weaknesses can be hidden for years before a branch suddenly fails in one of our 34 annual storms.
