Tree Care in Westport Village, CT

If you're looking at the trees in your Westport Village yard and feeling uneasy, there's a good reason. Many of the mature trees here were planted when these homes were built in the early 1960s, and builders often chose species for fast growth, not long-term stability. You'll see a lot of silver maples, which grow quickly but have weak wood and aggressive surface roots that can damage foundations and walkways. You'll also see Bradford pears, which are beautiful in spring but have a fatal flaw: their tight branch unions are guaranteed to split apart after 15 to 20 years, often during one of our 17 annual storm events. The problem is, you can't see the decay inside from the outside. By the time a cavity or crack is visible, the structural failure may have been progressing for years.
