Tree Care in Sandy Hook, CT

If you're looking at the trees in your Sandy Hook yard and feeling uneasy, there's a good reason. Most of the homes here were built in the late 1970s, which means the trees are now about 47 years old. That's the age when common builder-planted species like silver maple and Bradford pear begin to show their fatal flaws. Silver maples have weak wood and aggressive surface roots that can damage foundations, while every Bradford pear is structurally guaranteed to split apart, usually between years 15 and 25. We see these legacy issues daily. The good news is your native trees, like the red oaks and sugar maples, are likely thriving and just need proper care to handle our 16.9 annual storm events.
