Licensed arborist adds crews and equipment to speed downed-tree and line response across Tolland, Hartford, and Windham counties as nor'easter season approaches

COVENTRY, CT, UNITED STATES, August 20, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Arbortech Tree Services, a CT-licensed arborist and tree care provider serving Tolland, Hartford, and Windham counties since 2005, announced today it has expanded its emergency response capacity ahead of the region's peak storm season. The expansion adds additional capacity to the company's fleet and staffing, positioning Arbortech to respond faster when nor'easters, microbursts, and other severe weather bring down trees and limbs across the region.

Connecticut's storm season brings a mix of threats to the region's tree canopy — from slow-moving nor'easters that saturate root systems and topple weakened trees to fast-forming microbursts that can snap healthy limbs and trunks with little warning. Tolland, Hartford, and Windham counties, with their dense tree cover and overhead utility lines, are particularly vulnerable to storm-related tree failures that can block roads, damage property, and knock out power to thousands of homes.

As part of the expanded response capability, Arbortech has reinforced its coordination protocols with Eversource for downed-line situations. Crews are trained to identify energized lines on or near fallen trees, secure the site, and stand by until Eversource confirms lines are de-energized before beginning removal — a protocol designed to protect homeowners, first responders, and Arbortech's own crews during high-volume storm events.

"Every storm season, we see the same pattern — a fast-moving system comes through, and the calls we get aren't just about a fallen limb; they're about a tree down across a line with a family standing in the driveway not knowing if it's safe to go near it," said Justin, owner of Arbortech Tree Services. "Adding to our crews and equipment ahead of this season means we can get to those situations faster, and our Eversource coordination means our guys and the people we're helping aren't taking unnecessary risks with a downed line. That's the priority every time — get the hazard handled safely, and get it handled quickly."

Arbortech's expanded crews will serve its full coverage area of roughly 20 towns across Tolland, Hartford, and Windham counties, with Tolland County as its primary service base. The company is encouraging homeowners to schedule pre-storm tree risk assessments now, before severe weather arrives, to identify hazardous limbs or leaning trees near homes, driveways, and power lines.
