"We hired them to snow plow and sand our driveway this passed winter. They did an excellent job! Never had to call, they always showed up as soon as the snow ended. We’ve lived here for 25 years and every spring we’ve always need to repair all the damage to the lawn and driveway, but for the first time we haven’t needed to! I highly recommend them!"

"Removal of 4 very large trees leaning towards my house; by careful collaboration with Code Officer, Apex restored my view of the pond yet protected the environment and habitat. Excellent crew, well organized for efficient and safe work. Apex workers very friendly and easy to deal with. My site was tricky to navigate the equipment around, but crew was very careful . Excellent cleanup after the work."

"Robbie is great, he did excellent work and went above and beyond to make sure everything was done perfectly in terms of timeliness, quality, and cleanup. He also had very reasonable pricing compared to two other tree services. He is courteous and conscientious, a great combination that is something every homeowner likes to see from someone they hire. He and Bob cleared 7 trees for us, they left small logs for us for firewood, cleaned up the entire yard and even the roof afterwards. They also filled in all ruts in the lawn that were unavoidable given the work performed. I really can't recommend his company enough!"

"I had a great experience with Maine Roots Stump Grinding. Lucas took care of two stumps for me and did an amazing job! Communication was excellent from start to finish. Lucas was friendly, prompt, and easy to work with. Both stump sites look great. What a difference it makes in how my yard looks to have the stumps taken out. I really appreciate the quality of the job and would definitely recommend this service to anyone needing stump grinding."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

You can shape a cherry tree by trimming vertical branches, dense branches, and intersecting branches. Your personal aesthetic comes into play, as well. If you want to simply thin and shape the tree, you can get away with trimming the aforementioned parts of your cherry tree. If you want to shorten branches, however, consider thinning cuts, which alter the length of the branches while encouraging light penetration, new buds and shoots, and a structurally-sound shape.

If you don’t stake a tree that needs support, it could be at greater risk of being damaged or failing completely, whether it uproots or falls over. That could cause damage to your property or other surrounding trees. If you want to grow healthy trees, you may need to stake them for best results.

Dead trees are dangerous for several reasons. They are structurally compromised and prone to branch or trunk failure, which can pose a significant safety risk to people, vehicles, and nearby structures. Dead trees can also harbor pests like termites, which may spread to other trees or your home. If a tree died from a disease, it could spread the illness to healthy trees. Additionally, the dry wood is highly flammable, increasing fire risk.

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.

A dead tree should always be cut down, because it could fall and cause injuries or damage, and it can also attract insects like carpenter ants. A tree that’s diseased beyond repair should also be cut down, but it’s not always easy for a homeowner to tell. Signs of disease include dying branches, a hollow trunk, leaning, and discolored or missing leaves, but your best bet is to hire a local arborist who can evaluate the tree and tell you if it can be saved or should be cut down.
