Tree Care in Marblehead, MA

If you're looking at the trees in your Marblehead yard, you're likely seeing the legacy of decisions made when your home was built. Many of our properties date to the post-war boom, and builders often planted fast-growing trees for quick shade and curb appeal. That's why you see so many mature silver maples and Norway maples here. They grew quickly, but silver maples have weak wood and aggressive surface roots, while Norway maples create dense shade that kills the lawn and prevents anything else from growing underneath. After 70-80 years, these trees are entering a high-risk phase where internal decay, hidden from view, can make them vulnerable to our coastal storms.
