Tree Care in Lakes West, CT

If you're a homeowner in Lakes West, you're likely living with trees planted when your neighborhood was built in the 1960s. Many of the problems we see today, like cracked driveways or sudden branch drop, trace back to the wrong tree being planted in the wrong place for instant curb appeal. You'll find mature silver maples with aggressive surface roots and weak wood, or Bradford pears that are now reaching the age where their poor structure guarantees they'll split. In our USDA Zone 6b climate with 48 inches of annual rain, these issues are magnified by saturated soils that can lead to uprooting during our frequent storms. The good news is your native trees, like the sugar maples and red oaks, are far better suited to handle our conditions if they're cared for properly.
