"Bart Flanagan Tree Service was responsive and fairly priced. They did a great job quickly and efficiently. So happy to not have those large limbs hanging over my back yard!"
"This is the second time we used Jason and his crew. They are very professional and polite. Matt did a walk around with us, provided an estimate and started the work within an hour. They had a large knowledgeable crew that worked fast and did an excellent job in cleaning up the fallen trees and branches. They kept in touch to make sure the job met our approval. It did and then some. We will use All Season Tree Service again and highly recommend them."
"Major shout out to Bowdoin BOYS tree service. We had a very difficult tree to cut down on a very steep Hill. These guys were in and out in an hour and a half. AJ was super responsive and called me within an hour of posting on Angie's List. He was here that afternoon to give us an estimate. He stayed in contact with us and was here within a week to do the job. Super friendly and professional. We will certainly use them again."
"I had four trees removed, two dead trees and two unhealthy trees, The largest was a Norway maple with multiple trunks risking collapse and overhanging the garage and the neighbor's house. Other estimates came in a little cheaper but I did not trust their explanations for how to take down the Norway maple safely. Zuhlke tree is first class in customer service, workmanship, professionalism. I would definitely hire them again, and recommend them."

"Gary was amazing! He completed the project quickly, was professional and personable, and went above and beyond helping to move large chunks of tree for me. Would hire again"
"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 hired Evert to clear a few trees to open a spot in my yard. He was professional and efficient. Not only did he have the job done quick he was super friendly. I would definitely hire him again in the future."
There are a few general rules to follow that will help you prune your trees correctly. One of the most important rules is to prune during the correct season for the type of tree you have. Typically, pruning should be during late winter. For younger trees, you should not remove more than a ⅓ of the tree's crown when pruning. Also, remember to remove dead and diseased branches first, then proceed with pruning the rest of the tree.
A palm tree's lifespan typically ranges from 40 to 100 years, though some species can live much longer. For example, certain types of Date Palm trees can live for over 200 years. The exact longevity of a palm tree is influenced by several factors, including its species, size, climate, and growing conditions. To maximize your palm's lifespan, provide proper care and maintenance, such as ensuring it gets enough sunlight, water, and nutrients, and protecting it from pests and diseases. For expert maintenance tips, consider consulting a professional arborist.
Sometimes, knowing when you need tree-trimming services is straightforward, and other times, you have to do some investigating. Some tell-tale signs that you should have your tree trimmed include:
A poorly-formed tree with unruly branches, which makes the tree appear odd-shaped.
A tree with tall or large branches that interfere with power lines or your home’s exterior.
A tree that provides too much shade in the yard due to branch overgrowth.
If it’s only a smaller branch that has died and you’re keeping an eye on the tree, it’s probably nothing to worry about. But if other nearby branches start dying off as well, or a very large branch dies, then you likely have a bigger problem. It’s time to watch for diseases and other problems and possibly get professional guidance on how to proceed.
Yes, it can be good to remove dead branches from trees. Dead branches can lead to rot in other areas of the tree. They can also cause damage if they fall on a house, shed, fence, car, pool, or other structure or property. However, it’s important that dead branch removal is done safely. If the branch is high in a tree or requires a lift or ladder to access, consider calling a professional tree removal company, as they will have the experience and equipment to do the job safely.
