If you're a homeowner in Maine, chances are you’ve got a few trees on your property that need attention.

Here’s everything you need to know about tree removal in Maine, including when to act, how to choose a tree service, and what to expect from the process.
🚨 When Tree Removal Becomes an Emergency
Maine’s weather can turn fast—from nor’easters to ice storms to heavy winds—and trees can take a serious beating. Emergency tree service may be necessary if:
A tree has fallen on or near your home
You notice large cracks or splits in the trunk
Roots are lifting from the ground
Limbs are hanging dangerously over power lines or driveways
⏱️ In these situations, don’t wait. Emergency tree removal is about protecting people, property, and power lines before it’s too late.
🌳 Signs It’s Time to Remove a Tree
Not all trees need to come down, but some signs are clear indicators that it’s time to call a professional:
Dead or dying branches
Fungal growth around the base of the trunk
Leaning trees that weren’t always leaning
Overcrowded trees competing for sunlight and space
Storm damage or hollowed-out trunks
Our certified arborists at Top Branch can assess the health of any tree and recommend the safest, most cost-effective option.
