Tree Care in Plattsville, CT

If you're looking at the trees in your Plattsville yard and feeling uneasy, there's a good reason. Most of our homes were built around 1964, which means the trees planted for instant curb appeal are now 60-plus years old and entering their most vulnerable stage. You'll see this with the silver maples, chosen for their fast growth but now showing weak, splitting limbs and aggressive surface roots. You'll also see it with the Bradford pears, which were almost guaranteed by their genetics to start splitting apart after 15-20 years. The problem is, you often can't see the internal decay that leads to failure. A hollow sound when the trunk is tapped can be the first real clue that a major branch or the entire tree is compromised from the inside out.
