A mature tree rarely dies overnight. Severe decline is usually the result of long-term environmental stress that goes unnoticed. As your dedicated tree care service experts, we conduct thorough, scientific hazard and health assessments. If your canopy is thinning, we immediately look below the surface. Soil compaction from heavy foot traffic, lawnmowers, or nearby construction violently suffocates the delicate root system. We utilize specialized pneumatic air-spades to safely blast away and excavate the hard dirt around the roots, alleviating the compaction and incorporating rich organic compost to instantly rejuvenate the tree’s root zone without damaging the microscopic feeder roots.
Planting a tree improperly dooms it to a slow, agonizing death. The absolute most common mistake made by amateur landscaping companies is planting the root ball far too deep, which buries the "root flare" (the widened, flared base of the trunk) under piles of wet soil and heavy mulch. This suffocates the bark and encourages "girdling roots" that eventually wrap around and strangle the tree to death. Our arborists ensure the planting hole is excavated to the perfect mathematical depth and width. We amend the backfill soil with beneficial mycorrhizal fungi to aggressively stimulate rapid root growth, giving your new sapling the perfect biological foundation to thrive for decades.
The local ecosystem in Lewiston, ME contains highly aggressive wood-boring insects and airborne fungal pathogens that can completely decimate a mature, beautiful tree in a single season. We don't guess; we identify the specific biological vectors attacking your trees—from emerald ash borers and spider mites to Dutch elm disease and powdery mildew. We implement highly targeted, systemic treatments (often via safe, direct trunk injections) that deliver the exact necessary fungicides or insecticides directly into the tree's vascular sap stream, neutralizing the threat while keeping your lawn, your kids, and your pets completely safe.
Protect your existing, valuable canopy and establish stunning new growth with the guidance of certified botanical experts. Healthy, majestic trees add immense financial value to your property.

"We hired them for a massive tree planting service to create a natural privacy screen along our property line. They helped us choose the perfect evergreens, planted them meticulously so the root flares were visible, and set up a watering schedule. They look fantastic."
"Highly knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. They identified a boring beetle infestation in our pines and treated them with direct trunk injections. It completely saved the trees from dying. Excellent arborist tree service."
The Lewiston area traces its roots to 1669 with the early presence of the Androscoggin tribe (the namesake of the county in which the city resides). In the late 18th century, in 1795, Lewiston was incorporated as Lewistown. The presence of the Androscoggin River and Lewistown Falls made the town an attractive area for manufacturing and hydro-power businesses. The rise of Boston rail and textile tycoon Benjamin Bates saw rapid economic growth rivaling that of Cambridge, Worcester, and Concord. Irish immigrants were recruited to build the railroad links and dig the canals for the textile mills. The Irish stayed, and worked the mills and established flourishing businesses, as evidenced by the McGillicuddy, Callahan, and other Blocks and the St.Joseph's and St.Patrick's churches. In the 1850 Census Lewiston was fully 23% Irish born. The increase in economic stimulus prompted thousands of Quebecers to migrate, causing a population boom; the populace rose from 1,801 in 1840 to 21,701 in 1890. In 1855, local preacher Oren Burbank Cheney founded the Maine State Seminary, the first coeducational university in New England and one of the first universities to admit black students before the Emancipation Proclamation. Lewistown quickly became associated with the liberal arts and was incorporated as "Lewiston" in 1864, a year before the college was chartered as Bates College.
