Tree Care in Hanover, NH

If you're looking at the trees in your Hanover yard and feeling uneasy, you're not imagining things. Many of the mature trees here are now 50 to 60 years old, which is a critical age for the species commonly planted when neighborhoods were built up. You'll see a lot of silver maples and Norway maples from that era. These were chosen because they grow fast, but that speed comes at a cost. Silver maples have notoriously weak wood and aggressive surface roots that can damage foundations and walkways. Norway maples are invasive and create such dense shade that nothing grows beneath them, including your lawn. The real issue is that a tree planted for quick shade decades ago is now a mature asset, or a significant liability, depending on its health and structure.
