As a property owner, finding a certified arborist in Guilford, CT is essential for protecting your landscape’s canopy throughout each season. Family Tree Care has been your ISA certified arborists here in Guilford since 1996. Our crew is qualified and insured, and know the local tree species in and out to be your reliable arborist in Guilford and New Haven County, CT.
If you aren’t sure whether a tree or multiple trees pose a risk on your property Family Tree Care offers a risk assessment from ISA-certified arborists. We will do an overview of large properties or rows of trees to look for imminent safety risks like completely dead trees or hanging limbs. After that we do a ground-level survey with special tools like soil probes to evaluate root flare and trunk integrity. An arborist hazard evaluation lets you know how at-risk your property is from things like tree stability checks and hazard screening.
For more advanced assessments we do a high-tech testing of the inner-tree to help see if valuable trees are at risk. We use things like air spading to safely uncover hidden root rot in a way that preserves the tree. Our internal decay testing is an easy way to get to the bottom of your tree’s health and determine whether or not it should stay or go.
Sustainability is something that is deeply important to us here at Family Tree Care. Removing trees is something we don’t take lightly as it can hurt the environment and disrupt local ecosystems. Trees provide us with fresh oxygen and without them we could not survive. Less trees means more carbon dioxide as cutting them down disrupts the absorption process that helps generate the air we breathe. To help spread awareness and promote a healthy approach to tree service Family Tree Care has a sustainability initiative to help ease our impact on the environment.
Our hazard mitigation is the solution before we resort to full on tree removal. At Family Tree Care our goal is to preserve any historic or aesthetically pleasing trees instead of just opting for the saw. We can even do things like stabilizing the tree in place for heavy canopies and split trunks. If the tree can be saved, we will do it in a way that’s safe and secure with minimal disruption to the surrounding ecosystem.
As certified arborists in New Haven County we offer advanced techniques designed to boost your trees’ health and create a better ecosystem across your landscape. We have disease treatment programs designated for the common Beech Leaf and Dutch Elm diseases. Family Tree Care also offers air spading that’s ideal for suburban environments for better root growth. It’s ideal for trees near driveways and other paths that often deal with compact soil.

We recommend going with a licensed arborist with liability insurance to protect yourself and the crew when the job is in progress.
