Tree Care in Manchester, VT

If you're looking at the trees around your Manchester home and feeling concerned, you're not alone. Most of the residential tree problems I see here trace back to a simple fact: the wrong tree was planted in the wrong place 30 to 80 years ago. Builders in the 70s and 80s often chose fast-growing species for instant curb appeal, like silver maple. That tree grows quickly, but its weak wood and aggressive surface roots cause constant problems. Another common choice was the Bradford pear, which is beautiful for about 15 years before its poor structure guarantees it will split apart. Your mature trees are valuable assets, and understanding their history is the first step to protecting them.
