Tree Care in Quonochontaug, RI

If you're in Quonochontaug, your trees are likely about as old as your house, around 59 years. That means the fast-growing trees planted by builders in the late 1960s for instant shade have reached their full, and often problematic, maturity. You'll see this with silver maples, which are now large trees with weak wood and aggressive surface roots that can damage walkways. You also see it with Bradford pears, which were popular for their spring flowers but are structurally guaranteed to split apart in storms after 15-20 years. These legacy choices from decades ago are now the source of most of the tree issues we handle here. Our cool-humid climate and 42 inches of annual rain support great native trees like red oak and sugar maple, but they also put stress on these aging, non-native specimens.
