Tree Care in Staples, CT

If you're looking at the trees in your Staples yard and feeling uneasy, there's a good reason. Many of the mature trees here were planted when these homes were built in the late 1960s, and builders often chose species for speed, not longevity. You'll see a lot of silver maples, which grow fast but have weak wood and surface roots that can damage foundations and walkways. You'll also see Bradford pears, which are beautiful for about 15 years before their poor structure guarantees major limbs will split, especially during our 17 annual storm events. The real issue is that a tree problem here is almost always a legacy problem, a decision made decades ago that's now coming due.
