"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."
"The Tree Doctor's pricing was very reasonable. The team worked well together in ensuring that the trees were removed in a safe manner. Cones were placed to ensure safety of the crew and of passing traffic as the work was in a tight area near the road. Once the trees were fully taken down the crew took exceptional care to clean-up all fallen wood, branches and bark debris and took care of finding the best wood/biomass plant to take all the fallen material. The entire crew was pleasant and professional. I would hire them again."
"Spencer and his crew were prompt to getting to work and asked questions before starting the job( to verify the job). They worked during the whole job, they did not screw around and was all business. Spencer and his crew were safe at all times and always seemed to know what the other was going to do. Spencer?s price was very reasonable and never changed.. highly recommend Line to Limb is you have any tree work that you would like done. Thank you"

Only trim palm trees as needed, which is usually about once per year. However, don't stick to that schedule if the palm tree doesn't need it. Avoid trimming palm trees when possible. It’s best to trim palm trees only when you notice a buildup of dead fronds. That said, leave the brown fronds during the dormant season because this organic matter helps protect the tree from the cooler weather.
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.
Generally, you should prune around 20% of an apple tree’s growth—and never more than 30%. This means that if you have a severely overgrown tree, it can take a few seasons to prune it back enough to produce the healthiest fruit.
If you’re dealing with a newly planted or juvenile tree, hold off on pruning beyond the initial shaping. Wait at least a couple of seasons into fruit production since pruning can increase the number of water sprouts and unproductive foliage.
You need to remove all branches affected by Dutch elm disease. If your tree has several affected branches, you will probably need to remove the entire tree. First, consult a pro to be sure that you’ve correctly identified it as an elm tree.Make sure the tree is properly disposed of with a plastic covering or through debarking, chipping, or burning.
You may be looking to identify maple trees to use for home improvement projects. In that case, you can tell hard maples by looking at their leaves. Leaves will have a U-shaped dip, or sinus, between the points, or lobes, of the leaves. Leaves of soft maples tend to have V-shaped sinuses.
If you already have the cut wood in front of you, look for a light, uniform color to identify hard maple wood and check for variations of red, gray, or brown streaks and an overall darker color in soft maple wood.
