Institutional Services
Northern Tree Service offers full spectrum plant care; providing campuses with all their landscaping and arboricultural needs. Our green-space management services include design and maintenance as well as storm recovery, delivered by exemplary employees using unparalleled equipment.
Storm Recovery
Northern Tree Service has distinguished itself asNew England’s leader in storm response. Our significant equipment portfolio and professional operators are prepared to manage and resolve any tree damage, regardless of the project scale. This 24-hour response team and its associated overhead team has extensive experience working with the Federal Emergency Management Agency FEMA) to maximize client reimbursement and project efficiency.
Tree Pruning
Northern Tree Service’s skilled arborists understand that careful pruning can both extend tree life and ameliorate any presented threats. Such efforts can also greatly enhance both the intrinsic functionality and esthetic qualities of treated specimens. Northern is prepared to address any arboricultural stewardship project regardless of scale and complexity. Past efforts range from the pruning of a single fruit tree to resolving a major natural disaster such as a tornado or unseasonable snowfall.
Landscape Design
Northern Tree Service is prepared to deliver a comprehensive landscape design. Our professional landscape architects excel at rendering large format schematics accommodating every feasible design feature. We pride ourselves in creating plans for ecologically appropriate, esthetically pleasing installations that do not require extensive maintenance.
Tree Health
Trees are part of the ecosystem. While this statement may seem overly simplistic, it is an acknowledgement of the environmental influences brought to bear on our specimen trees. More specifically, our trees are both habitat and fodder for numerous pathogens, many of whom have the potential to effect significant tree damage. Northern’s certified arborists are licensed applicators, expert in identifying tree damaging agents and resolving the challenges using the latest technology and integrated pest management.
Landscape Construction and Maintenance
Northern Tree Service provides superior landscape construction and property care. Thanks to our diverse portfolio we have the flexibility to rapidly establish any landscape, implementing even the largest and most exacting designs. Included in our service package is planting, mulching, irrigation as well as brush and snow management. Our results speak for themselves, as Northern uses the most experienced personnel, the right, low-impact equipment, and the best materials to establish and maintain quality installations.
Tree Planting
One consistent truth of arboriculture is that trees grow slowly; a fact with two significant cultural consequences. Because enduring tree species often outlive their planters, specimen tree replacement is seldom an active consideration for tree owners. Conversely, new construction landscape architects often mandate the installation of significant trees. Both of these scenarios call for the planting of ecologically appropriate trees, a task for which Northern is well equipped. We are able to plant and move trees of all sizes, under all measures of site limitations.
Hazard Tree Mitigation
Sometimes it is no longer possible to save a tree. Dead trees or those damaged to the point of being a hazard call for quick and efficient removal. Our professional arborists can safely perform hazard tree removal, eliminating both the threat and the esthetic affront. This effort can also include the handling of debris for responsible cellulosic recycling.
Cabling and Bracing
With time the combined insults of weather and pathogens will weaken a tree to the point of failure. However, this inevitability need not result in a tree’s removal. Northern Tree Service offers a mechanical option for preservation. Provided the tree is healthy aside from a weakened branch or leader, an approach involving cabling and bracing may serve to both preserve and stabilize a specimen tree for the foreseeable future.
Stump Resolution
One of the challenges of arboricultural stewardship is addressing the eventual stumps following tree loss. Stumps are often esthetically unattractive features and, under some circumstances, landscape hazards. Northern Tree Service operates a continuum of stump reducing tools that are prepared to safely and expeditiously remove imbedded wood of all sizes.
Air Spading
Moving a tree specimen calls for both special care and unique equipment. To meet this challenge Northern Tree Service often utilizes one of its several air spades. This pneumatic technology allows arborists to gently separate root fibers from their surrounding soil matrix. By minimizing structural damage this revolutionary approach has greatly increased transplanting success. Additionally, air spades allows us to carefully remove some of the soil around a tree’s root flair for replacement with organic fertilizers.
Herbicides & Pesticides
Northern Tree Service is dedicated to the health of your trees. To achieve this goal we employ safe, effective treatments applied using the latest arboricultural technology. Our holistic approach to promote plant health involves tree maintenance, site preparation, pruning, and fertilization. Additionally, you can rely on our integrated pest management to address any pathogens that may be negatively affecting your specimens.
Low Impact Equipment
Northern Tree Service recognizes the intrinsic value of sensitive habitats. Thus we have invested heavily in specialized equipment designed for reduced ground pressure and precision functionality. These industry leading tools provide us with the ability to work in the most fragile areas.
