Tree Care in Woodstock, VT

If you're looking at a mature tree on your Woodstock property, you're likely looking at a decision made nearly a century ago. Many of the beautiful, large trees here were planted by builders in the 1930s and 40s who chose species for fast growth and instant appeal, not long-term health. That's why you see so many silver maples with their brittle wood and aggressive surface roots, or Bradford pears that are now reaching the age where their weak branch unions are guaranteed to split. The good news is you also have magnificent native specimens like sugar maples and red oaks that, with proper care, can thrive for another century in our Zone 5a climate. The challenge is knowing which trees are assets and which have become liabilities.
