Tree Care in Lexington, MA

If you're looking at the trees in your Lexington yard and wondering about their health, you're not alone. Most of the problems we see here, from cracked sidewalks to storm-damaged limbs, trace back to a simple fact: the wrong tree was planted in the wrong place decades ago. Builders in the 1960s and 70s often chose fast-growing species for quick shade and curb appeal. That's why you see so many silver maples, known for their weak wood and aggressive surface roots, and Bradford pears, which are practically guaranteed to split apart after 15 to 20 years. These trees are now mature and showing their age, which means they need a professional eye. You can't see inside a tree from the outside. Issues like internal decay can start years before any external symptom, like a fungus or a crack, becomes visible to you.
