FAQs

How can Colonial Tree & Landscaping help with bare patches and poor grading in my Buxton lawn?

Poor drainage and thin soil are common here in Buxton. Our team addresses bare patches and grading issues by first assessing the underlying cause, which is often compacted soil or improper water flow. We can regrade problem areas to ensure proper drainage away from your home's foundation and then reseed or sod with grass varieties suited to our local climate. This approach, combined with our shrub planting and landscape maintenance services, creates a healthier, more resilient lawn.

What sets your tree removal service apart for difficult jobs?

With over 40 years of combined experience as licensed arborists, we're equipped for complex removals that other companies might hesitate to take on. Our new bucket truck allows us to safely access and dismantle trees in tight spaces or near structures without causing unnecessary damage to your property. We are fully insured, provide free estimates, and never ask for cash upfront, ensuring a professional and secure process from start to finish, including stump grinding.

Do you offer preventative care for shrubs and trees?

Absolutely. Proactive care is key to long-term plant health. Our services include seasonal pruning and trimming to promote strong growth, as well as disease and insect management specifically for Southern Maine's common pests and fungi. For shrubs, this can mean tailored fertilization and pruning schedules. For trees, it involves structural pruning, cabling, or bracing to prevent storm damage. This preventative approach can often save a plant and is more cost-effective than removal or major restoration later.
