Tree removal in Nashua, NH

Ron Marchant • Jul 14, 2023

Bucket truck, crane removal, tree climbing, and tree felling, we do it all!

Tree removal accounts for a significant majority of the tree work we do on a weekly basis, and tree removal in Nashua NH presents its own specific set of challenges. Nashua is New Hampshire’s second most populated city, behind Manchester, and has a significant number of trees in its residential neighborhoods. These facts combined with Souhegan Valley Tree Service’s policy of do as little damage as possible to the customers yard, and get every last piece of sawdust as we clean up, make Nashua an interesting place to work.

We have several options at our disposal when doing tree removal; bucket truck, crane removal, tree climbing, and tree felling. Using our bucket truck to take the tree down is the most often used strategy. We will lay a plywood road across your lawn to protect it from the heavy equipment. After the truck is set up we take off every branch individually and drop it in a pile that will get chipped up, larger portions are lowered down with ropes and pulleys to minimize lawn damage. All of this is done while maintaining a safe distance from electrical wires, pedestrians that may be walking nearby, and traffic that may need to be monitored or detoured. These are things that may not have to be considered outside of Nashua city limits.

Crane removal is an option that we utilize on a regular basis in Nashua for extremely tall trees, trees that are really close to the house and or wires and when access is limited by fences or steep terrain. Using the crane improves worker safety, speeds up production, and also minimizes lawn damage because the crane usually sits in the driveway and can reach all the trees that need to come down. The tree material is set down in a “landing area”, usually the driveway or possibly the grass, all the while being protected by sheets of plywood and keeping the mess in one area.

We also employ several expert tree climbers for those trees that are impossible to access by truck, or where crane rental is cost prohibitive. Our climber has nearly twenty years of tree experience and loves a challenge!

Tree felling is on option as well, but quite often in Nashua there is simply not enough room to drop trees whole. Also it creates more lawn damage and a larger area to clean up. This is usually the least desirable option for us as well as our clients.

Lastly, we find the difference between our company and others is defined in the last 30 minutes of the job. We spend a lot of time and energy making your property as clean as possible, raking up every stick and leaf that we create, and often material we didn’t create as well. When working in other more rural towns it is possible to make the clean-up “disappear” into the customer's woods. Not so in Nashua, everything is raked, blown with a leaf blower, then raked again. People spend a lot of time, money and energy in maintaining their yards and landscaping, at Souhegan Valley Tree Service we believe that removing trees from your yard doesn’t have to be detrimental to the surrounding landscape.

How Do You Get Rid of Fungus on a Tree?
By Ron Marchant 08 Mar, 2024
Once infected with a fungus, the tree can never be fully cured. You can treat the tree and keep it healthy through proper care including not overwatering and ensuring that the soil is draining properly.
How Can You Tell How Old a Living Tree Is?
By Ron Marchant 01 Mar, 2024
Each species of trees grows at a different rate. The International Society of Arboriculture ( www.isa-arbor.com ) has developed a guideline for the most common trees species to indicate the growth factor. By measuring the diameter of the living tree and using the calculations for growth developed by the ISA, you can estimate the age of a living tree without doing any damage.
How to Prevent Cold Stress in Trees
By Ron Marchant 23 Feb, 2024
Cold stress, cracks in the outer bark and inner wood of a tree, can be caused by wide temperature variations in the winter time. In many cases the tree will repair itself, although the area may remain vulnerable for some time. For young trees, wrap the bark during the fall months using a cold weather tree blanket. Avoid pruning the tree in the late fall, which can encourage new growth making the tree more susceptible to damage from frost.

Healthy, just-dropped acorns are ideal for planting. Place the uncracked acorn in a mixture of ½ peat and ½ loose barley in a clear plastic, sealable bag. Keeping the bag damp but not wet, store it int he refrigerator, potting it in early spring.
