Tree Care in Rockport, MA

In Rockport, many of the tree problems we see today were planted decades ago. Builders in the 1950s and 60s often chose fast-growing trees like silver maple and Norway maple for quick shade and curb appeal. Silver maples have weak wood and aggressive surface roots that can damage foundations and walkways. Norway maples create dense shade that prevents anything from growing underneath them, including your lawn. These trees are now 70-plus years old and entering a high-risk phase. The cool-humid climate and 48 inches of annual rain here promote both rapid growth and hidden decay, which can make a tree look healthy from the outside while it's rotting from within.
