Tree Care in West Dennis, MA

If you're looking at the trees in your West Dennis yard, you're likely seeing the legacy of the 1960s building boom. Many of the homes here were built around 1964, which means the trees planted for instant shade and curb appeal are now about 62 years old and reaching full maturity. This is when the original choices, like fast-growing silver maples or the popular Bradford pear, start to show their true nature. Silver maples develop weak wood and aggressive surface roots, while Bradford pears are structurally guaranteed to split apart after 15-20 years. These problems aren't always visible from the outside. Internal decay can be active for years before a branch fails. That's why professional assessment is critical for trees of this age on a property you care about.
