Tree Care in Hampton Beach, NH

If you're looking at the trees around your Hampton Beach home and feeling uneasy, there's a good reason. Many of the mature trees in our neighborhoods, like the silver maples and Bradford pears you see everywhere, were planted when these houses were built in the 1970s. Builders back then chose these species for their fast growth and instant shade, but they come with inherent problems. Silver maples have weak wood and aggressive surface roots, while every Bradford pear is structurally guaranteed to split apart after 15 to 20 years. That means the trees providing your curb appeal today are often the same ones posing a significant risk to your property during our coastal storms. With an average tree age of over 50 years, we're now seeing the consequences of those planting decisions from a different era.
