Tree Care in Newport East, RI

If you're looking at the trees in your Newport East yard and feeling uneasy, there's a good reason. Many of the mature trees here, like the towering silver maples or the once-popular Bradford pears, were planted when these neighborhoods were built in the late 1960s. Builders often 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 that can damage foundations and walkways. Bradford pears are practically guaranteed to split apart after 15 to 20 years, especially under our coastal winds. The core issue for most homeowners isn't a sudden disease, it's that the wrong tree was put in the wrong place decades ago.
