Tree Care in Northborough, MA

If you're looking at the trees around your Northborough home and feeling uneasy, there's a good reason. Many of the mature trees in our neighborhoods are now 50 to 60 years old, reaching a critical age where structural weaknesses from their youth become major liabilities. Builders in the 1970s often planted fast-growing species like silver maple for quick shade, but its weak wood and aggressive surface roots now threaten foundations and driveways. The beautiful but doomed Bradford pear was another popular choice, and if you have one, it's likely already splitting apart at its poorly attached branches. The good news is that with our 49 inches of annual rain and long growing season, your healthy native trees, like the sugar maples and red oaks, can thrive for generations with proper care.
