Tree Care in Watch Hill, RI

If you're looking at a mature tree in your Watch Hill yard, you're likely looking at a decision made nearly a century ago. Many of the beautiful trees here were planted when these homes were built, around the 1930s. Builders often chose fast-growing species for quick shade and curb appeal, which means you might be living with the legacy of a silver maple or a Norway maple. These trees have shallow, aggressive roots and weak wood that doesn't stand up well to our coastal storms. The challenge is that a tree can look perfectly healthy from the outside while decay is spreading inside the trunk. By the time you see dead branches or mushrooms at the base, the structural problem has been developing for years.
