Tree Care in Coleytown, CT

If you're a homeowner in Coleytown, you're likely living with trees planted when your neighborhood was built in the early 1960s. That means your property is home to trees that are now about 63 years old, a critical age for many common landscape species. We see two major issues here. First, builders often chose fast-growing trees for quick shade and curb appeal, like silver maple and Norway maple. Silver maples have weak wood and aggressive surface roots that can damage foundations and walkways. Norway maples are invasive and create dense shade that kills the grass and prevents anything else from growing underneath. Second, a tree's structural problems often start internally, long before you see any external signs. A hollow sound when you tap the trunk with a mallet, or a large crack where two major branches meet, can be a warning of failure that's been developing for years.
