Full time Firefighter/Paramedic running a 10+ year tree service company. Best rates around and timely responses.

"Very happy with Scott and his team. They did an excellent job and were able to juggle things to ensure they were done before a dumpster delivery that was coming for another project. And they hauled away some rotting logs from a tree taken down a long time back. I’d definitely hire them again."

"I hired this company to clear my property for a house. They cleared the lot left all the branches that the son Doug told me they were going to chip up. Built a slap for a block foundation that was no way level and the cinder blocks looked like a kid put them together used caulking were cement is supposed to be, anchor bolts pulled out not buildable. Gave a deposit for a septic tank install and took my money never installed the septic tank and said it was for extra work that I was not aware of, never fixed the foundation they lied, and communication skills are not good do not hire this company. To this day I still can not build"

Zuhlke Tree Service offers professional and affordable tree service throughout the State of Maine. We specialize in technical removals of hazard trees, which often involves multiple rope systems and advanced rigging, to keep your property safe and minimize damage to the ground and surrounding trees. We can access places that bucket trucks can't, and other companies won't. There are few exceptions to what we can do, but if something is beyond our abilities (e.g. requires a crane or a piece of very specialized equipment that we don't have) we will refer you to another professional who can meet your needs.

FAQs for arboricultural service projects in Carmel, ME

Yes, you will want to confirm that the tree removal company you hire is insured before proceeding with the job. Tree removal can be dangerous work, and it's important to verify that the company carries the proper insurance to cover any onsite accidents or damage.

As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include: 

  • The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check

  • Required to have applicable state and local licenses

  • Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review

  • Paying to advertise their services

  • Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi

Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.

Landscapers typically charge $25 to $50 per person per hour, which equals around $50 to $100 per hour for a two-person crew. These rates can vary depending on your location, the size of staff needed for the job, and overall job type. For example, a larger crew will be needed for structural additions and hardscaping versus planting flowers. 

When it comes to landscapers, licensing laws vary. Landscaping architects are required to be licensed in all 50 states, whereas traditional landscaping contractors are not typically required to hold a certification. You’ll likely be working with a landscaping contractor for most residential projects. If you are redesigning your whole yard or adding in hardscape features, you will work with a landscaping architect at some point during the project. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local landscaper guidelines.

On average, removing a tree costs around $750, but you can expect to pay between $200 to $2,000. Factors that impact the overall cost include the number of trees you’re having removed, their height, the diameter of their trunks, permits needed, and the tree’s accessibility. You’ll pay more if the tree is in a hard-to-reach area or dangerous location, like close to power lines.

Landscaping costs around $3,500 but varies widely from $200 to $14,000. Factors that play a part in your final landscaping price tag include:

  • Location

  • Yard size

  • Project size

  • Materials

  • Land preparation

  • Type of landscaping

Considering so many factors, it’s not surprising that the overall costs can differ. A typical landscaping project is flower bed installation, which averages between $800 and $3,000. However, landscape lighting installation is a higher-end project, with a price tag of $2,000 to $6,000
