Tree Care in Milton, MA

Most of the tree problems I see in Milton yards started decades ago. When these neighborhoods were built up in the 1940s and 50s, 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. The silver maple has weak wood and aggressive surface roots that can damage foundations and walkways. The Norway maple is an invasive species that crowds out our native oaks and beeches. These trees are now 70 to 80 years old, which is often their full lifespan, and they're showing their age. You can't see inside a tree from the outside. A tree that looks fine one season can have significant internal decay that only becomes obvious when a major limb fails.
