Tree Care in Bigelow Corners, CT

If you're looking at the trees in your Bigelow Corners yard, you're likely seeing the legacy of the late 1960s and 70s. The homes here were built in an era where builders often chose fast-growing trees for quick shade and curb appeal. That's why you'll see so many mature silver maples and Bradford pears. These species have predictable problems. Silver maples have weak wood and aggressive surface roots that can damage foundations and walkways. Bradford pears are beautiful for about 15-20 years, but their branch structure is fundamentally flawed and they are almost guaranteed to split apart under a heavy snow or wind load. In our cool-humid climate with 48 inches of annual rain, these structural weaknesses are a constant concern, especially during our 17 average storm events each year.
