"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."

"I called Travis in early July to come and estimate the cost to remove a 36 year-old 60-70' tall Catalpa tree ( the one that has orchid-like flowers and then grows long green beans). He came over that same day to look things over and gave us a very fair estimate. We decided then and there to sign on to have it scheduled for sometime this summer or early fall. He expected it would be mid to late August, which was perfect for us. He called us around noon on Monday August 24, asking if he could come over and drop that tree in a half-hour or so. We said yes and he was there in 20 minutes with a bucket truck, a dump truck, and a big chipper. They got set up in a heartbeat and within 1 hour the tree was limbed, taken down in sections except for an 8' section of the trunk, and all of it chipped and in the truck, thanks to Travis and Butch. Next they felled the trunk and used the boom to load the trunk pieces into the dump truck with the chips. A few minutes work with rakes cleaned up all the small debris and the job was done. The skill and proficiency they showed was amazing to watch. Every move each man made was perfectly synced to the other man's actions. Real teamwork at its best! We are so impressed by TLC Tree in every aspect and would highly recommend them to anyone in need of their services. They are the BEST, hands down, no doubt, amen.Thanks, Travis and Butch!!"

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Light-bark trees are most notorious for producing lots of sap when wounded. These varieties include maples, birches, poplars, dogwoods, magnolias, and elms, and they will bleed more when the trees are dormant. That’s why it’s a good idea to prune them in the summer months rather than waiting until winter.

The average lifespan of an oak tree is 100 to 300 years, so long as it isn’t impacted by diseases like sudden oak death. Some species will last shorter or longer, depending on where you live.

We don’t recommend DIY tree trimming for a few different reasons. First, the tools required to trim a tree can be costly, up to $1,100 or more, for the ladders and specialized saws needed. 

Safety is another concern, especially when working with more mature trees. As a guideline, you should only DIY tree trimming when branches are less than two inches in diameter. Any more, and the safety risk becomes too high, which could lead to catastrophe. For this job, it’s safest to let a tree-trimming professional assess the work needed.

Unlike some fruit trees, such as apple, sweet cherry, or pear that require at least two trees for pollination, most peach trees are self-pollinating. This means you can plant just one tree and still expect it to produce fruit, typically within two to four years. For best results, consult with a local landscaper to choose the right peach tree variety for your specific climate, soil type, and yard layout.

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.
