Tree Care in Orange, CT

If you're looking at the trees in your Orange yard and feeling uneasy, there's a good reason. Most of our homes were built in the early 1960s, which means the trees planted for instant shade and curb appeal are now about 64 years old and entering their most vulnerable phase. You'll see this with the silver maples, known for their aggressive surface roots that can damage foundations and their weak wood that shatters in storms. You'll also see it with the Bradford pears, which were planted for their spring blossoms but have a fatal flaw. Their narrow branch unions are guaranteed to split apart, usually between years 15 and 20, and that failure often happens without any visible warning on the outside of the tree.
