Tree Care in Old Hill, CT

If you're looking at the trees in your Old Hill yard and feeling uneasy, there's a good reason. Many of the mature trees here were planted when these neighborhoods were built in the 1960s. Builders often chose fast-growing species for quick shade and curb appeal, which means you're now living with their consequences. You'll see a lot of silver maples, known for their aggressive surface roots that can damage foundations and their weak wood that breaks in storms. You'll also see Bradford pears, which are beautiful for about 15 years before their poor branch structure guarantees they will split apart. In our cool-humid climate with over 50 inches of rain, these inherent weaknesses are put to the test every year.
