Tree Care in Mill Plain, CT

If you're looking at the trees in your Mill Plain yard, you're likely looking at a 70-year-old decision. Most homes here were built in the mid-1950s, and builders often chose trees for fast growth and instant shade. That's why you see so many silver maples and Norway maples. Silver maples have weak wood and aggressive surface roots that can damage foundations and walkways. Norway maples create dense shade that kills the grass underneath and outcompetes our native sugar maples and oaks. The problem is that a tree can look perfectly healthy from the outside while having serious decay inside. By the time you see a cavity or fungus, the structural issue may have been developing for a decade.
