: How often should trees be inspected?
Here in New England, our trees deal with a lot: norβeasters, heavy wet snow, ice storms, and summer droughts. Thatβs why we recommend having an ISA-Certified Arborist inspect your established trees once a year, especially the big, mature ones near your home or driveway. Routine pruning is typically needed every 3β5 years, depending on the species and condition of the tree.
Some signs mean you shouldnβt wait for your annual check:
βοΈCracked or hanging limbs after a storm
βοΈA tree that has started to lean
βοΈ Early leaf drop, discoloration, or thinning
βοΈFungal growth, peeling bark, or insect activity
βοΈUpcoming construction or digging near the roots
With winter storm season right around the corner, now is the time to make sure your trees are ready. Call us at (508) 290-6606 to schedule an inspection!
