Tree Care in Randolph Town, MA

If you're looking at the trees in your Randolph yard and feeling uneasy, there's a good reason. Many of the mature trees here were planted when these neighborhoods were built in the 1960s and 70s, and builders often chose species for fast growth, not long-term stability. You'll see a lot of silver maples, which grow quickly but have weak wood and aggressive surface roots that can damage foundations and sidewalks. You'll also see Bradford pears, which are beautiful in spring but have a fatal flaw: their tight branch unions are guaranteed to split apart after 15 to 20 years. The challenge is that a tree can look perfectly healthy on the outside while decay is spreading inside for years before any visible symptoms appear. That's why proactive care is critical for our 60-year-old canopy.
