"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 ."

Customers say: Quality work

"Bernie was very knowledgeable and informative. They guys that came and took down the tree were polite, efficient, neat and considerate of neighbors. The only glitch in the whole process was with setting up the appointment for the estimate. We had differences on the date of the initial appointment. It was rescheduled and then had to be rescheduled again on a day I wasn't going to be here. That said, it was done and I was given the information I needed."

Small jobs welcome

"The job was done as requested, the service was available within 1 day of me making an inquiry, the worker arrived the day of on time and was very professional, the job was completed within a few hours, the work done was adequate but there is room for improvement as the thoroughness of the cleanup was not to expectation as some smaller leaves and mid-large tree branches still remained on the grass and in flower beds. The price was competitive for the square footage and moderate leaf coverage and they also hauled away leaves that were already pre-packed."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

The amount of time it takes for a tree trunk to rot depends on several factors, including the tree’s size, species, and environmental conditions. It can take anywhere from a few years to several decades for a tree’s trunk to rot. A tree stump, on the other hand, can take up to 10 years to disappear after it’s decayed naturally.

Though summer is not ideal, you can do some light pruning during this time of year. Just make sure it’s not excessive. Vigorous pruning will stress the tree and impact next year’s growth. Generally, August to September are the best summer-pruning months, particularly for fruit trees.

You may be looking to identify maple trees to use for home improvement projects. In that case, you can tell hard maples by looking at their leaves. Leaves will have a U-shaped dip, or sinus, between the points, or lobes, of the leaves. Leaves of soft maples tend to have V-shaped sinuses.

If you already have the cut wood in front of you, look for a light, uniform color to identify hard maple wood and check for variations of red, gray, or brown streaks and an overall darker color in soft maple wood.

A serrated knife will work for cutting off small palm tree fronds, about 1 inch in diameter. For larger fronds, you will need pruning shears. You may also use a pruning saw, and if your palm tree is especially tall, an extended pole saw can help you reach the brown fronds around the trunk.

Generally, if your neighbor’s tree hangs over your yard, you can legally trim overhanging branches. Keep in mind that you cannot cross your property line to cut the trees, and if you damage the tree by trimming it, your neighbor could sue you. Depending on the type of tree and value, this could mean dishing out two to three times the value of the tree.

It’s worth noting that the specifics of this type of tree maintenance and the guidelines around it may vary by location. Do your research and, most importantly, consult with your neighbor.
