"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!"
"Very professional, price was great and service quality and time to do the job was top notch. I plan on hiring All Season Tree Service for more tree removal in the next couple weeks."
"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."
A chainsaw is the best tool to cut down a tree, but you may also use a handsaw or ax. You may also want to use a lopper or pole saw to remove limbs before cutting down the tree. Wear chainsaw chaps and protective gear, including eyewear and earplugs if you use a chainsaw. Again, if you’re unsure about how to use this tool, this project may be one to skip.
Removing tree stumps is a dangerous and complex job that requires a high level of expertise. Many landscapers specialize in general lawn care and maintenance. But, some may have the proper licensing and qualifications needed to safely remove tree stumps. In most cases, though, landscapers will refer you to a local tree removal or stump grinding company.
Some trees will bounce back just fine, and others will struggle and possibly die. Evergreens, for instance, have a very difficult time recovering after droughts and usually die after periods of extreme dryness. Usually, you’ll have to just wait and see—if the drought occurs in wintertime, it’s possible that your tree will recover during the gentler springtime.
Talking with a septic pro before planting trees near your tank is best to ensure the roots won’t interfere with your septic system. However, there is an easy way to figure out where to plant a tree—but you’ll need to know how tall it can get when it’s fully grown. For instance, if the tree can reach 50 feet, plant it at least 50 feet from your septic system.
Since overwatering can harm mature trees just as much as a lack of water, it’s important to know the signs of an overwatered tree. If your tree’s leaves are yellowing, wilting, or dropping leaves, it’s likely that you’re overwatering. Other common signs include rotting, fungi, soggy soil, soft or peeling bark, falling leaves, and brittle roots.
If you realize that you’ve been overwatering your mature tree, stop watering and give the soil time to dry out. Then moving forward, increase time between watering sessions.
