Summer 2016

Managing your trees and natural resources such as water, wildlife cover and tree/ plant species can be a daunting task to just about anyone.  Even some of my own projects get put on hold because work becomes a priority.  In many cases a professional can get our jobs done faster and better and is well worth the money, to have more free time to spend with the family and away from work.  Professionals also have a wealth of knowledge to make the right decisions that you are also not aware of.  As our weather patterns shift we have seen faster winds, sometimes more intense rain in shorter bursts and a cyclical rise in plant insects and diseases.  I will be taking a trip to Canada in the beginning of July to observe and better understand the widespread infestation of the Spruce Budworm.  There are things myself and my clients have been doing for years to prepare for the latest Spruce budworm infestation here in Maine.

Summer Time Tree Projects!

    Maine is a unique place to live.  If you stop mowing your lawn trees can start growing within a season where you once had a well manicured lawn.  Trees will grow almost anywhere in the northeast.  Choosing the right trees to grow around your home is very important when it comes to longevity, color and the dreaded cleanup as your favorite tree drops branches and leaves all over your lawns.

    Some trees are very short lived, messy and not very attractive in our yards.  When it comes to pruning or removal, the job can become very tricky around wires, houses and garages.  Many landowners in Maine have a chainsaw or a friend with one.  For some, this can be dangerous if they or a friend accidentally drops the tree on the house or other personal property.  It may make a great YouTube video but not when it happens to you.  Unfortunately we have heard many of these stories where the friend was over confident about felling trees and didn't have insurance

    Hiring a tree service company may be more expensive than a small chainsaw from Home Depot but hiring a professional is quick, clean and they have all the right equipment.  A professional has removed thousands of trees, likely in trickier places than your tree and with no accidents.

    McIntosh Forestry Services is passionate about our trees and forests.  Our skills have been tested among the best and we are still the Leading Professionals in our area.
