"Palmer Tree Service removed my trees as discussed. However, the work they performed at my yard was very messy, and the cleaning was not up to my standards. They did not remove all the debris and caused significant damage to my lawn areas. Therefore, I give then 3 stars"

"Jim came by first to discuss what my wife and I wanted. He explained what we wanted, and his recommendations as an arborist, about all the different types of trees on our lot which were encroaching on the house itself. He educating us about the trees and why they were bending into not only our house but bending over our fenced in yard as well as our cedar log swing which now was almost fully immersed and covered by the branches and leaves from multiple trees. He was always prompt in communications about the job and timely in scheduling our job. He arrived on time, went to work pruning multiple trees as well as removing many other trees that have grown since we moved here 36 years ago. After he finished, he walked around the property and explained once again the rationale on what he did. He not only cleaned up beautifully but because of how he pruned the lot, out house now looked beautiful especially considering the way it originally looked at 9:00 am before he start his work til he finished after 4:30 pm. Wow!!!! I would highly recommend New England Tree Rescue if you are looking improve the view of your property in regards to all the different types of trees around your property. He was very reasonably priced ."

"C&J Tree service did an excellent job clearing some trees that were diseased on my property. They were on time, courteous and efficiently removed the trees and stumps, leaving the area ready for some fresh landscaping in the spring time (which I've already hired them to do). I highly recommend their services and plan to use them again for another project later this year to have arborvitae trees planted around the property line."

"Bernard and his crew ere simply great. Very quick and responsive and very reasonably priced for the scope of the project. Bernard listened and understood exactly what was needed: removing 3 trees whose branches were overhanging utility lines. He got the job done the same day. I highly recommend B&R tree service. By the way, his office manager/ scheduler is so polite and professional which was simply amazing!"

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Most plum trees are pruned into a vase or open wine glass shape. They’ll have a shorter central leader (the trunk) that supports three to four main branches. Of course, this isn't always the case. If you have a European plum tree, you can grow it in a pyramid shape. Let the central leader extend the length of the tree and prune smaller branches to create the pyramid.

Generally, you’ll want to prune back the trunk by 1 to 2 feet each year to promote bushy growth. Doing so concentrates vegetative buds closer to the bottom of the tree, where you can easily harvest fruit. For side shoots that are a year old, leave at least six leaves. 

Never remove more than 30% of a tree’s foliage during pruning—even if your tree is really overgrown. Removing this much foliage at a time could kill your tree.

Hiring an arborist or tree surgeon is usually more expensive than a standard tree company, but it is often worth the investment. Arborists have education and certifications that standard companies typically lack, leading to a more professional, expert-level service. Their expertise is particularly valuable for diseased or infested trees, as they can ensure safer removal and help prevent the issue from spreading. Additionally, arborists may be necessary for work near power lines, as uncertified companies are often not permitted to service these trees. If your goal is to preserve the health of your trees, an arborist is the best choice. Their services, such as stump grinding, are also performed with greater expertise to ensure a safe depth that won't cause your lawn to collapse over time.

Professionals use assessments, strategic cuts, specialized equipment, and safety measures to ensure healthy growth or the safe removal of trees or shrubs.

In the case that a tree is growing directly on your property line, the cost of maintaining the tree is shared and is the property of both owners in common. In this case, all decisions regarding the maintenance of the tree must be made jointly, and both parties must agree on a course of action. You will need to agree with your neighbor about the cutting of any roots before you carry it out, and your neighbor must also consult with you before doing any trimming. Coming to an agreement with your neighbor about any shared trees ahead of necessary trimming and maintenance will make this process much simpler.
