Tree Care in Maynard, MA

If you're looking at the trees in your Maynard yard, you're likely looking at a legacy from the early 1960s. That's when many of the homes here were built, and builders often chose trees for fast growth and instant shade. That's why you see so many silver maples and Norway maples around town. The problem is, a silver maple's weak wood and aggressive roots are now a liability for your foundation and driveway, and a mature Norway maple creates such dense shade that nothing grows underneath it. These issues started decades ago, but the symptoms are showing up now. A storm with sustained wind from one direction, followed by a sudden shift, can fatigue these older trees and lead to branch failure or uprooting, especially after our 49 inches of annual rain saturates the soil.
