Tree Care in Falls Village, CT

If you're looking at the trees around your Falls Village home and feeling uneasy, there's a good reason. Many of the large trees on properties here were planted when these homes were built, roughly 80 to 90 years ago. Builders back then often chose fast-growing species for quick shade and curb appeal. That's why you see so many silver maples and Norway maples. Silver maples have notoriously weak wood and aggressive surface roots that can damage foundations and walkways. Norway maples are invasive and create such dense shade that nothing grows beneath them. The problem is you can't see inside a tree from the outside. Internal decay can be advanced for years before any external symptom, like a fungal conk, appears. That's why a professional assessment is critical for these mature specimens.
