Tree Care in West Yarmouth, MA

If you're looking at the trees in your West Yarmouth yard and feeling uneasy, you're not imagining things. Many of the problems you see today were planted decades ago. When these neighborhoods were built up in the 1970s, builders often chose trees for fast growth, not long-term health. That's why you see so many silver maples here. They grew quickly for shade, but their weak wood and aggressive surface roots now cause sidewalk damage and storm breakage. You'll also find Bradford pears, which are beautiful for about 15 years before their poor structure guarantees they'll split apart. The good news is your native trees, like the red oaks and sugar maples, are much better suited to our sandy soil and coastal winds. They just need the right care.
