Tree Care in Orleans, MA

If you're looking at a large, mature tree in your Orleans yard, there's a good chance it was planted when your home was built, around 1977. That puts many of our local trees at about 49 years old. This is a critical age where problems from past planting choices become obvious. Builders often used fast-growing trees for quick shade and curb appeal, like silver maples with their brittle wood and invasive roots, or the beautiful but doomed Bradford pear, which is almost guaranteed to split apart after 15 to 20 years. Now, decades later, you're left managing the consequences. Understanding what you have, from our native red oaks to problematic Norway maples, is the first step to protecting your property's value and safety.
