Tree Care in Rock Ridge, CT

If you're looking at the trees in your Rock Ridge yard and wondering what to do, you're not alone. Most of the homes here were built around 1980, which means the trees are now about 46 years old. That's a critical age for many of the species builders favored back then. You'll see a lot of silver maples, which grew fast for quick shade but have weak wood and surface roots that can damage walkways. You'll also see Bradford pears, which were planted for their spring blossoms but are now reaching the 15-20 year mark where their poor branch structure makes them prone to splitting. In our cool-humid climate with 48 inches of annual rain, these inherent weaknesses become real liabilities during our frequent storms.
