Tree Care in North Plymouth, MA

If you're looking at the trees around your North Plymouth home and feeling uneasy, there's a good reason. Many of the large maples and pears you see were planted by builders in the 1940s and 50s for quick shade and curb appeal. Species like silver maple and Bradford pear were popular choices, but they come with built-in problems. Silver maples have weak wood and aggressive surface roots that can damage foundations, while a Bradford pear's structure is practically guaranteed to split after 15-20 years. These trees are now 80 years old, and the internal decay we can't see from the outside is often extensive. When our coastal storms hit with sustained winds that suddenly shift direction, it fatigues these already compromised trees, making failure a real risk.
