Inside Out
Wilmington sits right off Route 93, and we're there in 10 minutes flat. The neighborhoods around Silver Lake and the Town Common have gorgeous mature maples and oaks that give great shade — until they start dropping limbs on your car.
The Harnden Tavern area and streets off Main Street have some of the oldest trees in town. Hundred-year-old sugar maples that are beautiful in October and a headache in February when the ice loads up the canopy. We prune them to keep the weight off, and when it's time, we take them down safely.
North Wilmington's newer developments have younger trees, but they still need structural pruning to grow right. Get the branching pattern correct when the tree is 10 years old and it'll be healthy at 50.
Storm damage along the Route 93 corridor is a regular thing. When the wind picks up off 93, the trees along Woburn Street and Middlesex Avenue take a beating. We're usually out cleaning up before the storm is fully over.
