Tree Care in Gaylordsville, CT

If you're looking at the trees around your Gaylordsville home, you're likely seeing the legacy of the 1970s building boom. Many of the large silver maples and Bradford pears you see were planted for quick shade and curb appeal, but they're now entering a critical age. Silver maples have notoriously weak wood and aggressive surface roots, while every Bradford pear is structurally guaranteed to split apart, usually between 15 and 20 years old. In our cool-humid climate with over 50 inches of annual rain, these inherent weaknesses are tested by nearly 17 storm events a year. The real risk isn't just a single gust, but the sustained winds we can get, which fatigue a tree before a sudden shift delivers the final blow.
