Tree Care in Williamstown, MA

If you're looking at a mature tree on your Williamstown property, you're likely looking at a decision made decades ago. Many of the homes here were built in the 1940s, and builders often chose fast-growing trees for quick shade and curb appeal. That's why you see so many silver maples and Norway maples. The problem is that silver maples have weak wood and aggressive surface roots, and Norway maples are invasive and crowd out our native sugar maples and oaks. These trees are now 80-plus years old, and their structural weaknesses are becoming liabilities. You can't see decay inside a trunk from the outside, and by the time a cavity is visible, the problem has been there for years. That's where a professional assessment comes in.
